I cannot stop sneezing this week! It’s like full on hay fever but even sneezier.
I’m in the NW of England. It’s happening inside and outside the house so can’t really pin it down. Is anyone else suffering too?

Yup. Really bad too. Also NW.

In the house I've just moved a beautiful flowering Christmas Cactus (And it's pollen) into the garage and that seems to have helped a bit (it can come back out when it's back to been boring and green!)

I am in the South East and it is horrendous

Yes, I’m alright at home but I can’t take the dog for a walk without sneezing and getting sore eyes. I’ve never had hay fever in the autumn before, it’s always the early spring tree pollen which sets me offspring this is a delightful new experience.

Interested in this thread?

My DM is suffering this year, she has never had hayfever this late before.

I've had to start Loretadine again, am usually OK by now.
Was a bit sneezy for a few days then yesterday got breathless with tight chest which I've not had before. Was relieved when tablet worked.
Frustrating not knowing what's caused it, could be from dog walks in the woods or something in the house like dust mites, or cleaning products as have been cleaning more than usual.

Another one here, atchoo. Had to medicate.. in and out of the house. The atypically warm autumn may have something to do with it; I have seen loads of plants having a second flowering, even saw a dandelion clock this week!

Ooh! Glad it’s not just me. I thought I might have a cess pit of undiscovered mould somewhere in my house!!!

I’ve noticed lots of things having a second flowering too. It’s been a warm autumn and I suppose the recent rain will have kicked off the mould spores. Yesterday I was out walking in a forest that is being logged and presumably all the leaves on the ground disturbed so I suppose that won’t have helped !!
