This summer looks set to have particularly high pollen counts, and the late spring has meant lots of plants flowering together – making for a glorious display, but a difficult time for hay fever sufferers.


So - what can we do to lessen the symptoms of hay fever? Here are our top tips:

Keep clean – Take a shower and change your clothes after being outdoors to remove the pollen on your body and hair. 🚿👕

Choose the right sunglasses – Wear wrap-around sunglasses to stop pollen getting into your eyes when you're outdoors. 🕶😎

Spend time by the sea – Sea air blows pollen in-land, so what better excuse do you need for a beach break? 🌊🚶‍♀️

Check the weather forecast – Many weather forecasts include pollen counts in their bulletins; if the count is high, stay indoors with closed windows. ☁🌤🌦

Take antihistamines – This treatment helps to prevent an allergic reaction from occurring, while steroid nasal sprays are commonly used to reduce inflammation and swelling. 💊
