Hayfever

[PronkWine]

It's November, I should NOT be suffering from hideous hayfever.

It's the worst it's been all year, I'm now eyeing all trees with suspicion and an axe. Can I blame global warming?

My sister and I were talking about this last night. We are all suffering really badly! What is going on?

I've woken up with a dose of it too

Yes! I'm back on my pills and my dp thinks I'm mad

Mine is always worse this time of year than the summer. My GP said it's mould spores from the damp leaves.

Mine has been full on lately with no obvious cause.

I’ve noticed that the Zoe covid app checklist includes“Increase in your usual allergy symptoms” and “sneezing more than usual”

What does that mean?

Likely to be mould allergy. It's worse around this time if the year.

I took antihistamines yesterday.

And I suppose any rash at this time of year could be sunburn too.

You need to get Occam's razor out.

some moulds/funghi can cause allergic reactions as well.
it's their prime time right now.

hayfever is annoying, I hope you feel better soon!

With the milder winters the autumn mould spores are lingering much longer and apparently the first tree spores started in December last year

Worchester university have an excellent pollen tracking site which breaks down the areas of the uk and shows what is active throughout the year in your area

Glad it’s not just me!

We’ve just moved house so packing and sorting and unpacking hasn’t helped with all the dust. My eyes are really sore and I’ve had to use my Ventolin inhaler most days. And I’ve stocked up on antihistamines again.

All three of us have had full on hay fever too

I've been sneezing and had itchy eyes the last week or so, I hadn't associated it with hayfever at all until I saw this. But that's exactly what it feels like!

So glad I've found this thread, my nose is constantly itching, off to get nasal spray, thought it can't possibly be hayfever!

I'm the same! Really bloody annoying.

I’m suffering terribly too - almost 5 weeks of sneezing, itchy eyes and annoying cough (have had 2 x negative covid tests). The odd thing is I have never suffered before, not even during the summer. And oddly it seems worse in the mornings? I’m getting so embarrassed with cough and feel like tyhoid Mary! I want a badge that says it is isnt covid!

Isn't just a cold?

Just to reassure all of you, I’ve just checked on Worcester pollen and fungal spores are currently high, no less than 4 are currently causing problems

Isn't just a cold?

No, it's nothing like a cold.

The Worcester site is very helpful. Thank you!

Oh so glad it's not just me! I am having a vile time of it at the moment.

Dd suffers from hayfever and has been similar. I put it down to the central heating which can affect her allergies but now I’m not so sure!

I agree with those who have said it's likely to be mould spores.

You have obviously never had hay fever.
