Hayfever sufferers told to stay indoors as pollen bomb hits early
That means that 18 million Brits could see their Easter bank holidays ruined by runny noses and itchy eyes.Birch tree pollen - which affects one in four hayfever sufferers - is already being released across the country.
Hayfever is a problem for around 80 per cent of people with asthma, with many not knowing that trees start releasing their pollen at this time of the year. Dr Best also recommends: ‘While it’s not always possible, staying inside when pollen count is high will help to avoid irritation or showering and changing your clothes when you get home will also help to remove pollen from skin and hair.’But, it is not just eyes which are affected, hay fever can also cause your ears to become itchy or inflamed.
