Which may have already started for some.....
Fortunately, no Tree or Grass Pollen near me this coming week.
And I'm surrounded by grass and trees, though no leaves on the trees yet.
Birch Tree Pollen is the first to appear, and I have a few Birch Trees !! !
Medication helps, along with HEPA Air Filters
Preventative Steroid Nasal Spray already being used.
Worst times of day, early morning until about 10am, and late afternoon into the evening
During the Hay Fever Season, no outside drying of clothes.

Pollen Count is low across most of the UK, but...
Pollution Levels are high, clearing northwards during the day (According to Carol)
And lots of Sahara Sand blown in !

After washing the Sahara Sand off the cars yesterday, once the sun had disappeared late afternoon ....
It's "Killer" Smog !!
HUNDREDS of thousands of worried Brits desperate for information about the killer smog engulfing the south and midlands crashed the Government's information website first thing this morning.

And still the Hay Fever Season hasn't started here yet !!
For some reason, when I travel abroad, I don't get affected by Hay Fever.
One of my favourite places is the Flower Forest in Barbados.
There is a "Sweet" smell all over the Island, I wonder what that could be !!
Anyway, even in the Flower Forest, no hay fever, despite lots of pollen laden flowers !
If ever you visit Barbados, you must visit the Flower Forest...

(I'm off there next week again, for a Holiday)
So hopefully I'll miss the start of Tree Pollen Hay Fever here.

Looks like the timing is good, Birch Tree Pollen causing my Hay Fever starts low on Friday 11th April.
Guess where I''ll be !!

Two weeks no symptoms.
Including a couple of visits to the Flower Forest !
One of my friends back in the UK is suffering badly at the moment, the dreaded Birch Tree pollen.
Which is the main trigger for myself.
(Not many Birch Trees here !!)

I fount cetirizine a few years ago which seems to work well and unlike most of the other pills I've been prescribed over the years this one doesn't actually have any dodgy side effects, however I do require to also use nasal spray and eye drops as the year progresses so its not all great ....

This week, 28th April to 4th May, is Allergy UK’s Allergy Awareness Week and as spring is the time of year when most allergies appear, experts from NHS England want to make people aware of the help that is available.
Common allergic disorders include asthma, eczema and hay fever where symptoms can include sneezing, wheezing, coughing, skin rashes and shortness of breath.
Dr Raj Patel, Medical Director from NHS England, said
”We would urge all those living with these conditions to prepare for the spring and summer months by visiting their pharmacy and ensuring they have full supplies of relief medication.”
Dr Patel also added: “If you experience persistent symptoms and you think you may have an allergy, tell your GP about the symptoms you are having, when they happen, how often they occur and if anything specific seems to trigger them.”
NHS England is also reminding patients who have suffered a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to carry adrenaline medication everywhere they go and to wear a bracelet or medallion which can advise people how to help.

Pollen doesn't affect me much but it can be really bad in Spring and Autumn and Winter. Bit like my arthritis, bad when the weather is on the change like just now.
