Causes of Hay Fever

Treating Hay Fever

Living with Hay Fever

Hay fever, also called seasonal allergic rhinitis, is an allergic reaction to pollen that causes sneezing, runny nose and runny eyes. In some people, the effects are simply an inconvenience, in others the effects are so severe they interfere with daily life. Hay fever affects about 20% of the population. A person is more likely to suffer from hay fever if there is a history of asthma or eczema in the family. Symptoms generally first appear during teenage years, progressively get worse into the twenties and then gradually ease as one gets older.
