Doctors in Greater Manchester are warning hay fever sufferers to step up their caution this weekend.
'High' and 'very high' pollen levels are expected to continue over the weekend and into early next week. Medics say anyone suffering with hay fever, along with other respiratory conditions, should manage their symptoms even more carefully.
Local pharmacies are a good place for people to start if they are unsure what they should be doing to manage their symptoms at the current time, say NHS chiefs. Some one in five people suffer from hay fever.
