I only get it when grass is being cut - not too severe, it's just annoying.

dont cut the grass then... get a goat instead

danniemcq

mine has been grand so far!

OP local honey (the honeycomb one is the best ya know this one) is the best you can take. Builds up immunity.

That and Ice Cream cones or plain vanilla helps a lot too

I do get hayfever but I haven't suffered from it yet.

I put vaporub up my nose which cures it.

I didn't realise for years I had it. Lots of sufferers living without knowing.

no, but I've a cold which is almost as bad.

yeppydeppy

I don't suffer from it but if you contact these guys:
http://www.irishbeekeeping.ie/federation/affassoc.html

you'll be able to buy locally produced honey thus building up immunity to the pollen in your area.

Bad enough yesterday, don't have it at all today!

Why would a heatwave make your hayfever worse? Hayfever symptoms are as a result of a high pollen count, not sunshine

A tear ran down my face this morning, so it is about to kick off, I live in rural Ireland but I am from London and I get it worse over there

Hande hoche!

its not just pollen that causes the allergies.... dust also causes it.... during heatwaves the dry dust getting blown up from a breeze or even moving traffic is enough to set some people off with the runny noses.

Eramen

1 or 2 tblspoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water w/ honey to taste (local honey being best) I'm told does the trick. Take this 2-3 times daily when you need to.

If you can't get the honey, ACV should do by itself. Try it!

Heatwave? Dude, can we get some perspective here, we're in Ireland, not the Sahara and the sun staying out longer than 5 minutes is not a feckin heatwave! And if your 'dust' theory were true then I think people would be suffering year-round symptoms on our wind-swept little island.

I'm not having a go at anyone here or genuine hayfever sufferers, because I get it so badly myself sometimes it almost renders me dead but honestly, there are some people who just can't *wait* to hop on the "Illness-Du-Jour" bandwagon -you know the type, if it's going, they've got it! :rolleyes::pac:

not really... anything above 20 in ireland is considered a heatwave lol

as for dust... normally the wet damp climate reduces the dust... during dry spells the dust gets worse.

its why quarries & building sites often have to spray down the site to control dust levels.

Sunshine contributes in a large way to a high pollen count. I've always suffered the most on hot summer days as opposed to cold blustery overcast summer days.

You have my sympathies - have been there often.

I see a few have mentioned sources of local honey to where you live - I keep getting recommended that too, though I've never tried it.

Touch wood, I have been relatively fine this last few years - all I do is start taking the hay fever medication around the start of April. I currently use Nasonex nasal spray - one puff / spray in each nostril at the start of the day.

Hope you get sorted.

Don't expect it to work straight out - it's something that builds up, hence me taking it from early in April when things are fine.

Yep and last night!

Due to the inclement conditions here my hay fever hasn't been to bad. To further the question about sunshine making hay fever worse. Every Tom, Dick and Harry likes to get the lawnmower out during good weather and tend to their flowers and what not so pollen rises quicker than it normally would.

Interview today. I better not have a sneezing fit mid-interview

cocoshovel

some people get it mildly, I tend to get it horribly. Eyes feel like they're being stabbed with sewing needles right now. But luckily Im on prescription tablets and nose-spray (not that over the counter crap). So Im not as bad as I used to be. As a kid I scratched my eye so much it went completely grey!

Also, you guy should talk to your GP about it. If you have any important events coming up in the summer you can get an injection steroid that rids most of your hayfever for the summer. I got it for the leaving cert last year. But they wont really give it to you every year.
