We’re at the time of year when hayfever/pollen are starting to peak and people all over the country are more likely to be affected by allergies.

On a sunny, warm and windy day pollen is much more likely to be released into the air we breathe, increasing the chances of itchy eyes, blocked nose, itchy throat, red eyes, general irritability. A wet or calm day tends to have lower levels of allergens in the air.

So how are you doing so far?
