Hay fever

Post by iainpeden » Mon Mar 10, 2025 1:37 pm

My hay fever usually runs from mid April to the end of June; however it has hit early this year.
Anyone else having the same problem?

Not a sufferer but this article may help although potentially not good news:

Not me but my sister down in Surrey has ultra loud sneezes that comes without warning and can be proper annoying. She blames hay fever which she reckons came early this year in March

But surely I protest there isn't any pollen yet?

Mine tends to start with all the daffodils flowering so am already suffering - runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes! :'(

We get loads on ours but then we live next to a pine and larch forest.

if you take local honey, say in your tea or coffee it helps to combat Hay fever if you read up on honey there is a host of things that honey can help with.

Unfortunately science says otherwise, local honey as a cure for hayfever is a total myth. Scientific studies have been done and none of the results support this at all.
Just some info on it should you like to....
