HAYFEVER suffers have been warned by an expert ahead of the "worst week of the year so far". Many weather forecasters have predicted very high pollen counts across parts of north Wales over the next few days. The very high pollen count is in effect from today (June 18) until Thursday (June 20) in North Wales.
As temperatures look set to rise, so does the pollen count, leading to a warning from allergens expert Max Wiseberg. "The first very high pollen counts of the year are forecast for Wales from today and for the following three days," he said. “So this will be the worst week of the year so far for hay fever sufferers across Wales.
However there are lots of different things hay fever sufferers can do to help and remedies work in several different ways. “The interesting thing about this is that many of these remedies can be complementary to each other. So if one helps, but doesn’t do the whole job, you can try other remedies at the same time to get a better result.
In other words, create your own Hay Fever First Aid Kit. “Pharmaceutical remedies are generally based on either antihistamines and steroid nasal sprays, whilst natural remedies are based on physical preventative measures, immune boosters or natural antihistamines. “It is important to remember some simple rules when creating your own Hay Fever First Aid Kit.
Never take two antihistamines together, never take two steroid nasal sprays together, and consult your pharmacist or doctor if you are already taking.
