Hayfever Specific to the UK

Hi
Whenever I go on holiday I do not suffer from Hayfever but when I am back in the UK I get quite bad symptoms. I have been to almost all of the continents and never get any problems.

Does this help to find exactly what I am allergic to? Can I get a specific tratment?

Thanks

Re: Hayfever Specific to the UK

note what time of year your symptoms return, and then you can match it to for instance, tree pollen season and grass season depending on the month they spread pollen.

you can ask to be reffered for some immunotherapy if its available in your area, ask your gp if you can be reffered. however, you would have to be a severe case for this, that doesnt respond to normal treatment.

its possible that the pollen grains in other countries are slightly different, so your body may not recognise the changed protein strands and not react.

are you ok with fruit?
