Natural health expert Pregnancy Beauty more newsletters Health home Ten of the best hay fever remedies by Dr Sarah Brewer Hay fever is the most common form of allergy, affecting up to 25 per cent of the population. Airborne allergies make summer a misery for at least 15 million people in the UK and are increasing at a rate of five per cent each year 'Allergic rhinitis', as it is also known, is now classified as a 'major chronic respiratory disease'. Its increase is hotly debated, but air pollution, especially the minute hydrocarbon particles from diesel engine exhausts, is thought to be a prime cause. Global warming, which means that summer starts earlier and may end advertisement later, may be another factor. A variety of hay fever treatments are available on the market. We look at ten of the best - both conventional and alternative - to help you choose the right one: A recent review suggested that nasal corticosteroid sprays, which have revolutionised hay fever treatment, offer better relief of symptoms than oral antihistamines, and that using both together does not provide additional benefit compared with using nasal corticosteroids alone. There is no clear evidence to suggest one nasal corticosteroid spray is more effective than another - all have a similar potential for causing nosebleeds. Some sprays are significantly more expensive, so it's worth trying the cheaper ones first. Apply two sprays per nostril per day, preferably in the morning, increasing to a maximum of twice daily use if required. Once control of symptoms is achieved, reduce down to just one spray per nostril per day. Do not use for more than three months.

These are still the basic treatment for hay fever but the older versions, bought over the counter at the chemist, cause sedation. They also depress intellectual performance and may induce irritability while increasing the likelihood of accidents, including car crashes. They do nothing for the A-level results either. It is better to go to the doctor and obtain a prescription for one of the second-generation antihistamines without the side effects of drowsiness and reduced concentration.

Department of Emergency Medicine Send comments and questions to staff@uihealthcare.com University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa Hay fever Hay fever is the name given for allergies caused by seasonal pollens. Wind-borne pollens from tree pollens, grasses, and weeds affect most hay-fever sufferers. Some are affected by direct contact to a plant with pollen. Airborne pollens are greatest during the peak of the pollinating season for the particular plant. Molds and fungus spores cause reactions in many people when airborne during the summer and fall months. Another name for hay fever is seasonal allergic rhinitis. Although the cause of allergy in hay fever usually comes from plant pollen, allergic rhinitis can have other causes. These can be things like feathers, dust mites, or animal dander. Sometimes it is hard to know whether a stuffy nose or itchy eyes is due to pollen or another cause. Hay fever symptoms include sneezing; itching and weeping eyes; stuffy or watery nose; itching of the ear canals, nose, throat, or mouth; and cough. Fatigue and a feeling of exhaustion may also be experienced.

INDEPTH: HEALTH Something to sneeze at: Seasonal allergic rhinitis For somewhere around five million Canadians the end of winter is one of those good news/bad news stories. Here are some frequently asked questions about seasonal allergies and what you can do about them. Why do I start sneezing as soon as the weather starts warming up? Basically, your body is objecting to the sexual activity of trees (early to mid-spring), grasses (late spring and early summer), and ragweed (late summer until the first frost). Or you might be sensitive to spores, which are the reproductive particles or seeds of fungi or moulds. Spores can cause even more problems than pollen in some people, because they are smaller and can get deep into your lungs and possibly trigger asthma. In some cases, people who are allergic to birch and alder pollen can develop oral allergy syndrome. You may have this if you've noticed allergy symptoms after you've eaten an apple, plum, nuts, celery or carrots.

Traffic may worsen hay fever and asthma By J. Raloff As roads grow ever more congested, commutes lengthen. Even though individual vehicles spew less pollution, the air remains choked with combustion byproducts. Now, urban denizens have yet another reason to hate traffic: It pollinates their air. A new study finds that cars and trucks stir up a lot of dust, much of it laden with allergy-causing plant pollens and molds. Over an 8-month period, Ann G. Miguel of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena and her colleagues vacuumed dust from paved roads at three Southern California sites—a relatively rural road in Riverside, a residential street in Long Beach, and a highway running through an industrial portion of downtown Los Angeles. Each thoroughfare was chosen because it ran directly in front of a pollution monitor measuring the quantity of particulate matter in air. From earlier studies led by atmospheric chemist Glen R. Cass, also of Caltech, he and his colleagues knew how to calculate what share of the particles measured at a monitoring station come from road dust thrown into the air. In laboratory tests, they determined how much of the vacuumed dust could trigger an allergic response. Their new data, reported in the December Environmental
