About Hay Fever
It is a common condition also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis
It is an allergic condition where the body’s immune system overreacts to substances that are useually
harmless, for example pollen from grasses, flowers, weeds or trees.
It affects around 1 in 5 people in the Netherlands and often runs in families
It is getting worse between late March and September, especially when it’s warm, humid and windy.
This is when pollen count is at its highest
Pollen causes the release of a chemical called histamine from cells in the nose, eyes and airways
Hay fever is an allergic reaction to pollen, typically when it comes into contact with your mouth, nose
eyes and throat. Pollen is a fine powder from plants.
Some people suffer symptoms all year round.
- They are allergic to indoor allergens such as house dust, mites and pets.

Managing your hay fever
