As temperatures stretch to the early 20s, the pollen count is set to rise
Hay fever sufferers are being warned as the pollen count shoots up to its highest level in parts of the UK this week. It comes as temperatures stretch to the low 20s across the country, including in the North West.
Saturday's forecast predicts a dip to 'high' levels of pollen in the North West. Wales, Northern Ireland, South West England, London and the South East as well as Strathclyde in Scotland will see the same. Southern Scotland, North East England, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East and West Midlands and East England are predicted 'very high' levels.
Dr Roger Henderson, 63, a GP of 35 years, advised taking antihistamines ahead of the pollen count rising, not just when you start to get symptoms. He also recommends keeping pollen exposure to a minimum. But sometimes staying inside during peak times of the day can't be avoided. Dr Roger, who represents decongestant brand Olbas, said if you've been outdoors during a pollen bomb, you should wash your clothes before next wearing them. And if you're struggling to sleep at night, it could be that your sheets need a wash too to get the pollen off too.
"Using a dry cloth, you can get clouds of dust and pollen which makes it worse. Anything that can trap dust can trap pollen - even dried flowers and curtains - so vacuum or wipe with a wet cloth."
