Hayfever Relief - Sales Continue to Rise

Hayfever Season’, as it is known by the many sufferers in the UK, begins at the start of spring and intensifies into the summer. During this time, sales of hayfever remedies obviously experience a sharp rise.

The scientific name for hayfever is allergic rhinitis. A condition which causes several unpleasant effects such as rashes, itchy and watering eyes, sneezing and a general sense of being unwell, hayfever affects millions of people around the world to varying degrees. Although generally known as hayfever, hay is just one of the materials that can cause allergic rhinitis due to its high pollen content, the actual cause of the condition. It is not only pollen that can induce the symptoms of hayfever; dust and animal fur can have the same effects on sensitive individuals. Symptoms have great variations in severity from person to person but can often be serious enough to dramatically affect normal functioning.

When pollen or other allergens irritate the sensitive lining of the nose, throat and lungs, the body responds by producing histamine, a defensive chemical. Histamine causes the body to attempt to flush away the allergen by producing an excess of tears and mucus, creating the classic symptoms of hayfever. For many years, antihistamine drugs were the best method of reducing the severity of the symptoms though negative side-effects, particularly drowsiness, made some sufferers reject their use. Today, modern hayfever relief products are produced that combat the symptoms of the condition without causing these unpleasant side-effects.
