An estimated 18 million Brits face hay fever hell for six months - with more intense spring pollen than normal and summer sneezes lasting a month longer this year. Sniffles will start over the next week as tree pollen levels rocket from near-zero to high due to a week of dry conditions and sunny spells, experts said.
Hay fever is a misnomer. Hay is not a usual cause of this problem, and it does not cause fever. Early descriptions of sneezing, nasal congestion, and eye irritation while harvesting field hay promoted this popular term. Allergic rhinitis is the correct term used to describe this allergic reaction, and many different substances cause the allergic symptoms noted in hay fever. Rhinitis means inflammation of the nose and is a derivative of rhino, meaning nose.
