, sneezes, sniffles, watery eyes, and runny noses, may only be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to symptoms associated with hay fever, formally known as allergic rhinitis. The clinic's medical director, Dr Chun Tang, said:"Allergic rhinitis can present itself in many shapes and forms and with one in four of us experiencing a certain strain or another, it's extremely common."“There are around thirty types of pollen that can cause allergic reactions.
In addition to grass, trees and weeds, fruits are also capable of dispersing allergenic pollen. This is due to the presence of cross-reacting allergens in pollen and raw fruits, as well as vegetables and certain tree nuts, which can cause Pollen Food Allergy Syndrome , also known as oral allergy syndrome.
