Hayfever
What is hayfever?
Hayfever is a term that is used to describe the symptoms of allergic rhinitis. However, the term hayfever specifically refers to allergic reactions due to pollen. Pollen is the male reproductive part of plants and trees. Hayfever is experienced when these pollen particles come into contact with the inside of the nose of an individual allergic to pollen. Hayfever tends to be most common during the spring and summer months, when pollen levels are at their highest.
