3 simple tips to get you through this hayfever allergy season
Around 4 million Australian’s experience hayfever allergies each year, translating to around 10% of children and 19% of adults.

What are hayfever allergies?
Hayfever allergies occur when your eyes, nose and throat come into contact with allergens that trigger an immune response. Common allergens include pollen, dust, mould and pet dander. These allergens cause an allergic reaction by stimulating the release of histamine, causing the redness, irritation, and swelling of the eyes, nose and throat so often associated with hayfever allergies.

What can I do to help manage my symptoms this hayfever season?

  1. Avoid your triggers

Hayfever allergy symptoms are worse for many Australians when pollens are released from new spring blooms and wild grasses. If conditions are particularly dry and windy, try reducing exposure altogether by covering up with a hat and sunglasses, wearing a face mask, and showering as soon as you get home.

  1. Look after your immediate environment

Allergens can hang around your clothes, skin and home during allergy season. Be sure to regularly wash beddings, sweep and mop floors, and vacuum carpets to remove dust, pollen and dander from your home. By wearing long sleeves, sunglasses and a face mask, you will help protect yourself from these same allergens.

  1. Seeking help when symptoms first appear

For many of us, having hayfever allergies means waiting it out for days or weeks before reaching out for help or advice. Instead of waiting, begin your hayfever allergy treatment sooner, to prevent minor symptoms such as a runny nose from developing into more full blown hayfever allergy symptoms.

To treat a runny nose, start with a nasal spray like Telnasal, formulated with an anti-inflammatory that works to ease early nasal symptoms. If you have more than just nasal symptoms and need help cutting the cycle of more severe hayfever allergies, medications like Telfast work by reducing the histamine your body produces, leading to a reduction in your overall hayfever allergy symptoms.
