Hayfever season is in full swing, and it can be a real pain, causing tickly noses, itchy eyes, and incessant sneezing. But it turns out that certain places in the UK are worse for it than others. A recent study has found that the top 10 most allergy-prone locations in the UK are:
1. Bolton
2. Croydon
3. Lincoln
4. Greater Manchester
5. Bath
6. Bristol
7. Peterborough
8. Norwich
9. Leeds
10. Stockport
If you’re living in one of these areas, there are a few things you can do to avoid the worst of your symptoms:
* Monitor pollen forecasts daily and avoid going outside when pollen counts are high.
* Put Vaseline around your nostrils to trap pollen and stop it from going up into your nasal passage.
* Shower and wash your hair after arriving home every day and change your clothes to avoid bringing any pollen inside.
* Dry your clothes indoors to minimize how much pollen gets into the fabric.
