Every year, around one in five of us suffer from hay fever. That is over 16 million people in the UK and the problem is said to be getting worse as each summer passes.
According to Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, the number of people living with allergies in the UK is rising by 5% every year. Between May and June of this year, perhaps many of us were struggling with itchy eyes, runny noses and headaches due to hay fever.
Although the grass pollen season has passed its peak, weed pollen is fast upon us, causing some of us to experience the same symptoms we had a few months back. Weed pollen includes nettle, mugwort and pellitory-of-the-wall.
