The first warm days of the year may bring blossom, birdsong, sunshine and flowers, but there’s a downside – hay fever. Or seasonal allergic rhinitis, to give it its medical description.
It’s that dreaded reaction to pollen from grass, trees and some weeds that so many of us know only too well during the early spring and summer months.
Birch pollen appears as early as late February and grass pollen follows from mid-May to as late as August.
