Spring means hayfever season !

Now that Spring has arrived - hayfever is always as a topic of conversation in beautiful Nelson.

Here are a few handy hints:

• Smoking or being around smoke, makes symptoms worse.

• Pets carry pollen, so try and keep them out of your bedroom.

• Sipping water and keeping hydrated helps to thin the mucus in your nasal passages, relieving symptoms.

• Taking a shower and fresh clothes after being outside removes the pollen.

• Wearing a mask and sunglasses whenever possible, limits pollen entering your nose and eyes.
