Hay Fever

What is Hay Fever?

Hay fever is an allergic reaction that causes sneezing, itchy/watery eyes, and a runny or stuffy nose. It's triggered by pollen and fungal spores in the air.

The NHS says that up to 1 in 5 people get hay fever symptoms when pollen counts are high. Sunny, dry days make pollen worse while rain helps clear the air.

Your body mistakes pollen for a danger and mounts an allergic response to try to flush it out - hence the sneezing, itching, and drippy nose. Though just an overreaction, hay fever can make summers miserable without the right medication.
