Don't let hayfever
get you down

From early spring until late summer, grass and pollen counts are high, causing itchy, gritty eyes, streaming and blocked noses, sneezing, sore throats and wheezing for millions of hayfever sufferers.

To ease symptoms...

• Stay inside during the early morning and evening
• Keep windows closed
• Wear wraparound sunglasses to stop pollen entering via the eyes
• Use a decongestant or an antihistamine
