Airborne pollen causing hayfever
Air-borne pollen is inhaled and causes a seasonal allergy commonly known as hayfever or allergic rhinitis.
Trees, grasses and flowers all release pollen and their seasons vary, though some studies indicates that in Australia, spring and summer deliver 70% of the total annual pollen count.
The severity of symptoms is directly related to the amount of pollen in the air and the amount of pollen that the sufferer is exposed to. This can vary depending on the pollen count, heat, time of day and other weather patterns. Extreme winds also whip up air-borne pollens that can make allergies worse.
Hayfever symptoms can include sneezing, streaming or blocked nasal passages and itchiness of the nose, throat and mouth or red, itch eyes.
Tips to reduce hay fever allergies caused by air-borne pollen
- Monitor weather and pollen forecasts.
- Wear a mask when mowing the grass.
- Close windows and stay indoors on windy days.
- Avoid outdoor exercise and activities on high pollen days.
- Remove plants that may trigger your allergy.
