With good weather comes high levels of pollen. The good months of Irish weather can be a hindrance for sufferers of hay fever and Met Éireann is forecasting soaring temperature this week.
Dr Iseult Sheehan is an allergy doctor and clinical director of Allergy Ireland, a highly specialised and resourced allergy clinic in Dublin.
“Hay fever is when your immune system misinterprets a harmless substance like pollen as being a threat, as a result, you develop an immune response and that’s where we see the symptoms,” she said.
