I get really bad hayfever in the grass pollen season but Ive also had it really badly this last week. Has anyone else got bizarre early hayfever.

Perfume
Shower gel
Fabric softener
Carpet cleaner
Etc etc

I had a patient mention their was playing up this week. Sometimes it's certain trees and maybe with the unseasonably warm weather it's causing them to do something early. Or leaf mould?

I had to take a tab yesterday. Weird.

I had a look on the met office website once. I understand the only month of the year with no pollen is December. I sneeze all year round. Welcome to the club!

Grasspigeons · 14/01/2020 20:03

Leaf mould might be a good shout - warm and damp

Mine is always worse in winter! I expect it’s the heating and dust

PlanDeRaccordement · 14/01/2020 20:09

Most hayfever sufferers also react to house dust, and mould.

Frariedeamin · 14/01/2020 20:12

There is some random pond weed that pollinates this time of year that I am allergic to!

Grasspigeons · 14/01/2020 20:13

I just feel my house is dusty equally all year Grin

Me!!!! Since last month, maybe? I keep looking at the pollen count and it says low, but I am most definitely having HF symptoms. It has been unseasonably warm here, too.

pineing · 14/01/2020 20:21

The catkins are out.

SmellMySmellbow · 14/01/2020 20:22

Another allergy. I had hayfever all my life, then at 38 suddenly developed cat and dust allergies and god knows what else. Symptoms the same, of course.

Whistle73 · 14/01/2020 20:24

It's leaf mould. This windy and damp weather plays havoc with me!

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 14/01/2020 20:24

DH just said his has been awful today.

no idea why but it's miserable.

Andahelterskelterroundmylittle · 14/01/2020 20:25

I thought I was getting a cold but it was the dry scratchy nose throat and sneezes of hayfever!! Yes tree pollen starts now - since it's been so mild I guess it's like an early Spring

stayathomegardener · 14/01/2020 20:31

Hazel catkins are fully out releasing pollen and birch well on the way.

Grasspigeons · 14/01/2020 20:32

I'm glad im not alone

Mine started this afternoon. Very odd.

whiteroseredrose · 14/01/2020 20:34

DS gets an allergy from moss apparently

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 14/01/2020 20:36

There’s Tree pollen around in January.

Likethebattle · 14/01/2020 20:37

Aw here we go again.....I was really bad last summer. This year I’ve noticed perfumes affect me, I had to leave superdrug a few weeks ago as I couldn’t stop sneezing next to the perfume counter.

ItsJustTheOneSwanActually · 14/01/2020 20:41

i have it all year - possibly dust related.

it's -25 and covered in snow where i am Grin

User260486 · 14/01/2020 20:43

Yes, my child had it since last week- we could not understand why as the symptoms usually appear late March and go away in September. Never had it in January before. Very unusual. Good to know that it is probably something in the air rather than the allergy getting worse.

georgialondon · 14/01/2020 20:48

I've been suffering the past few days too

Chocolatemice · 14/01/2020 23:46

On a positive note, I’ve always taken sneezing as a sign I am alive. Kind of like pinching yourself to see if you are asleep, I guess.
