Definitely a non scientific analysis. What about acrophobia sufferers with a hay-fever twist?

Good point there.
Most probably know but just to say, don't buy the expensive branded one a day antihistamines. The £1 for 30 (tesco, morrision, galpharm, etc) are exactly the same as the £3 or £4 branded packets! Cetrizine and Loratadine.
Kempton should definitely roll around in nettles on a daily basis
He asks for help sw let’s see if he takes it
I have had Hay Fever since I was 6 or 7 - now 37! It knocks me out - eyes constantly itching, god forbid you touch your eye, as that is it, it won't stop then, and you can't open them. Nose like a tap, itchy throat. If you sneeze once, then it will be about 10 sneezes in a minute.
I have always taken antihistamines, but when I have tried nasal sprays they smell like pollen to me and make me worse. I used to have a steroid injection in my arse called Kenalog, but they stopped allowing me to have it as it could damage your bones. I rung the Doctors last week and said I need something...I noticed there is still a steroid injection but GP's reluctant to administer them at the moment due to Covid. I was then told about something called Grazax, which is a tablet that has the grass pollen allergen in it - and you take it daily to build up resistance to the pollen. You need bloods to be taken etc. before you start and you are monitored by an allergen specialist. I need to look into it a bit more, but sounds promising

My lad has hayfever and it disappeared completely when he had a year living near LA. Hayfever is the downside of living in a green and pleasant land.
Apparently Vaseline on the nostrils is a good one. Meant to catch the pollen before it gets up your snout.
Never previously suffered with hay fever. The past few years during high pollen counts I sneeze a lot and have a lot of congestion and snot rockets. Not sure if that constitutes hay fever.
I'm pretty sure Kempton will have a jar of said lubricant to hand!!
Under your eyes too. However, not sure how that would look walking round with a face full of vaseline. I always have a flannel nearby - ice cold water, and just bathe my eyes from time to time. Seems to take the sting and itch away
Not a Dr, but can do Google and cut and paste - so I diagnose - Yes

"will you stop sniffing' is all i've heard for two months....
apparently, cold showers are a good way to get through the day....

I have local honey, lemon & small but of ground ginger in hot water every morning. Not only stops hay fever symptoms, but it’s cut down on me getting bad colds too! In the winter, I can swap local honey for store brand honey if necessary. However I try & stick with the local stuff.
Sounds like it's worth a try. Is that a slice of lemon or a splosh of lemon juice?
I have a similar drink every evening to help with my asthma - a ginger and lemon teabag, two slices of lemon and a teaspoon of honey; I didn't develop asthma until my late 40's and, touching wood, it's never caused me any inconvenience or panic but, since using this drink I've never had the need to use my blue reliever inhaler for more than three years.
I get a bag of lemons, squeeze half into a cup, then the rest into small tubs to freeze, so generally half a lemon squeezed.
