For Hayfever

1. Before you go out for a ride or walk, or go on holiday, check the pollen calendar as well as pollen count forecasts – why not register for our pollen count service
2. Take your holidays at the seaside, where there is less pollen
3. Keep your windows closed in the late afternoon, when the pollen count rises
4. Make sure your car is fitted with an effective pollen filter
5. During the pollen season drive with your car windows shut
6. Mowing the lawn is by far the most harmful exercise for anyone allergic to grass pollens and the mould that grows on grass
7. Some tree pollens, e.g. horse chestnut are relatively heavy and so do not travel very far; making them easier to avoid
8. Wear sunglasses to prevent eye irritation
9. Shower and change when you get home
