🌼 Suffering from hay fever? We’ve got some tips to help you out! 🌼
Spring can be a magical time with all that sunshine and blue skies, but if you’ve got hay fever, it can also mean sneezing, itchy eyes, and endless tissues. But don’t worry, there’s hope! ☀️🤧
Dr Lucy Hooper, a GP, has highlighted a key rule for easing those pesky symptoms: Avoid drying your laundry outside during pollen season. 🌿 Hanging clothes outside can load them with pollen, which you then bring back into your home. Instead, use a dryer to cut down on pollen sneaking indoors.
🐝 More top tips for surviving pollen season:
– Keep windows and doors closed when pollen counts are high, typically from late morning to late afternoon.
– Cool your home with air conditioning and use HEPA air filters to catch those tiny pollen particles.
– After being outdoors, shower and change clothes to wash off pollen.
– Washing your face and hands can also help reduce exposure.
The NHS offers handy do’s and don’ts:
✔️ Do: Use petroleum jelly around your nostrils, wear wraparound sunglasses, shower after being outside, and keep your home pollen-free.
❌ Don’t: Dry clothes outside, avoid fresh flowers indoors, and keep pets outside if possible.
