Hay Fever.?

Is it possible to get hay fever at this time of year.Think I've got it.Must have because I have Antihistamines and it goes away when I take them.I have always associated hay fever with the earlier months of the year.

It is. I've suffered from hay fever for many years, quite badly too. I have the symptoms for half the year (April - September) with it being worse in and around June.

The main pollen that 90% of hay fever sufferers are sensitive too is grass pollen with most sufferers exclusively allergic to this pollen. Some sufferers (15-20%) are also allergic to certain tree pollens. These different pollens are airborne at different times of the year for different periods so you may suffer at different times of the year to someone else with hay fever.

Bottom line is, as long as the grass grows, no one with hay fever is safe!

If those trees are any of the following species then they might be the perpetrators:-

Birch, alder, hazel, hornbeam, horse chestnut, willow, poplar, plane, linden/lime, olive. Report It

Yes it is possible to get hay fever at this time of the year, before winter starts.

You are suffering from an allergic reaction of some type - which could be anything from pollen to dust mite to your cat. It may be worth going to your doctor if it doesn't clear up rapidly so that the cause can be identified. Good luck.

Yes. My nephew is allergic to fern and bracken spores that are in the air at this time of year.
