High pollen levels are forecasted for many regions in the UK, creating challenges for approximately 20% of the population allergic to pollen. Grass and tree pollen, particularly from birch trees, are significant allergens, especially during early summer. Warm, dry conditions have created a 'pollen bomb' effect. Allergic reactions include itching, sneezing, and headaches. Although there is no cure, antihistamines, steroid nasal sprays, and eye drops are recommended for relief. Climate change may extend pollen seasons and increase pollen concentrations in the air.
"Warm weather in 2024 has created ideal conditions for birch pollen, often a significant trigger for hay fever, leading to very high pollen levels across the UK."
"Professor Stephen Till recommends a combined approach for managing hay fever, suggesting antihistamines, steroid nasal sprays, and eye drops are effective for relief against symptoms."
