Summer has finally arrived.
So get those antihistamines and nasal sprays out of storage. With the lovely warm sunny weather comes the dreaded grass pollen scourge. Hay fever (Pollinosis) and allergic conjunctivitis can severely and adversely impact quality of life. Now’s too late to start Grazax (a new revolutionary Hay Fever treatment for grass pollen allergies), but it’s a good idea (if severely affected) to plan next years campaign to deal with the dreaded grass pollen allergy. Arrange an allergy assessment, and see if you are a candidate for desensitisation immunotherapy to Timothy grass pollen using the more convenient oral route also called Sub Lingual Immuno Therapy (SLIT). Diarised and plan an appointment with your local allergist now before you forget. Best to start treatment as soon as January 2018 so as to get full benefit of this innovative therapy.
