As we head towards spring, more and more people will succumb to sleep deprivation and worsening asthma as a result of hay fever. 

Hay fever is one of the most common allergic conditions and tends to hit sufferers towards the end of spring, through summer, and into early autumn, lasting approximately from March to October.

Also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis, hay fever affects one in four people in the UK and is mainly caused by grass pollen. According to a recent World Health Organisation key fact, there are 180,000 deaths per year around the globe, due to Bronchial asthma condition.

The charity Allergy UK estimates that nearly 18 million people suffer from hay fever in the UK. The most vulnerable range of the population is children and teenagers, although anyone can be at risk.

 

Joint Medical Director Dr James Marsh has strongly advised people who suffer from asthma to remain vigilant and refer to their GP if needed, as hay fever can worsen symptoms.

 

Dr Marsh is a Consultant Nephrologist and Joint Medical Director at Epsom and St Helier Hospital in UK. He studied at Oxford University before completing his clinical training at Guy’s Hospital (where he also completed a PhD investigating mechanisms of transplant rejection.)

    As usual, timely and pertinent information from across the pond. Although we’re a bit off schedule here in the center of the US, hay fever is well in hand these past few days. A long winter and slow to warm Spring season is finally giving way to lawns being mowed, trees budding and cherry blossoms blooming. Achoo!
