Hayfever...

[lillymist]

I know this might sound a daft question...but can anyone tell me if there are many suffers of hayfever in oz....i am a big heyfever victim and my daughter also gets it midly...

Please can you tell me are there any brits that had it in the uk and if you suffer in australia?

I find most people just suffer this in the UK. In places like Australia and Africa I have never suffered this but at the start of the summer only in the UK I suffer for about two weeks before I get used to things. UK is the only place I suffer.

It depends on what you are allergic to and how much pollen there is in the air. I'm get hayfever from goldenrod. Once I graduated and moved to a city, I never got it again, because it is a country weed. If you get hayfever from something that doesn't grow in OZ, then you won't have problems here. If you stay for a long time, you might get sensitized to some local plant. And if you get hayfever from something that has been imported here, then you'll still suffer. And I do remember how much suffering there was. Enough to make moving half way around the world seem like a perfectly reasonable solution.

I'm an Aussie and I suffer from hayfever and know others that do too! There are plenty of hayfever medications available and a lot of advertising around spring time so you may not escape it.
