If you're suffering with the effects of high pollen at the moment unfortunately things aren't about to get better anytime soon. The Met Office has warned that July will see “very high” levels of pollen, triggering symptoms for the 3.5 million hayfever sufferers currently living in the UK. It comes as a so-called 'pollen bomb' is set to sweep across the East Midlands.
Of course it isn't all bad news. Not all hayfever sufferers react to the same types of pollen and there are ways to reduce the pollen we are exposed to.
The NHS recommend various Do's and Do Nots. Do's include putting Vaseline around your nostrils to 'trap pollen', wearing wraparound sunglasses and showering and changing your clothes after you have been outside to wash pollen off.
