What is Hayfever?
Hayfever, or allergic rhinitis, is an allergic reaction to pollen from trees, grasses, and plants. It is a common seasonal condition affecting nearly 1 in 3 adults in the UK, particularly during spring and summer.
Common Hayfever Symptoms:
- Nasal symptoms – Sneezing, runny or blocked nose
- Eye irritation – Itchy, red, and watery eyes (conjunctivitis)
- Respiratory issues – Wheezing, shortness of breath, tight chest, coughing
- Skin reactions – Raised, itchy rash (hives)
These symptoms occur when the immune system overreacts to pollen, mistakenly identifying it as a harmful substance. While hayfever itself is not dangerous, it can significantly impact daily life, causing discomfort, fatigue, and difficulty sleeping.
