Hay fever: what to do?
Allergens in the indoor environment can come from house dust mites, pets, mould and pollen, among other things. Allergens are substances that can cause allergic reactions. An allergic reaction occurs when the body's immune system has a hypersensitive response to certain substances (allergens).
The hay fever season causes annoying symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose and itchy eyes for many people every year.
Hay fever season extra tough for asthmatics
Up to 80% of people with asthma also have allergies such as hay fever. For many asthmatics, it does not stop at unpleasant symptoms because asthma and hay fever are closely related. Not only do they suffer from hay fever, but asthma symptoms also increase as a result. The nose and lungs together make up our airways. If our upper airways are irritated by pollen, the result can be that the lungs also join in and the asthma symptoms worsen. The combination of asthma with allergy is often under recognised.
Along with spring begins the "Hay Fever Season", when the first pollen (birch, oak, hornbeam, hazel and alder) is already spreading. People with a pollen allergy are familiar with the problem and avoid being outdoors unnecessarily, as far as work allows.
