Introduction to hay fever
Starting with the basics, what is hay fever? Usually at its worst when the pollen count is at its highest (between March and September), hay fever is an allergic reaction to pollen that causes a range of symptoms that are similar to a cold.
What is a cold?
On the other hand, a cold is classed as a mild viral infection of the nose, throat, sinuses and upper airways.2 The NHS lists the following ways you can catch a cold by:2
- Touching an object or surface contaminated by infected droplets and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.
- Touching the skin of someone who has the infected droplets on their skin and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.
- Inhaling tiny droplets of fluid that contain the cold virus – these are launched into the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
