Allergy and Hayfever tips
Hayfever is an allergic reaction to pollen, pollutants and dust mites in the air, it affects 15% to 20% of the population in Britain and it is on the increase. This is a problem in many countries, but the non-sufferers regard it as unimportant. For sufferers it varies from minor irritation to severe incapacity, you may be unable to work or drive. School and exam performances are worse in young people with untreated hayfever, unfortunately for students exams usually take place at the peak of the hayfever season.
