Stay safe team, ‘cos Victorians are being warned about the increased risk of thunderstorm asthma as we head into spring. Suddenly all my fantasies of frolicking in the spring sunshine are crushed.
As if being boshed and blown by a possible third La Niña this spring wasn’t enough, we’re also heading into grass and pollen season.
This is bad news for all my fellow hayfever-and-asthma-girlies, so Victoria Health is telling people who have a history of asthma and hay fever to make a plan with their GP for the sneezy season.
“If you have current, past or undiagnosed asthma or seasonal hay fever you are at risk of thunderstorm asthma,” it said, per 9News.
“So be prepared to manage any symptoms and stay out of hospital.”
