Take the test now!While festivals are great fun for most people, a high pollen count can spell disaster for hayfever sufferers. There’s nothing worse than your favourite band’s set being ruined by a sniffly nose and itchy eyes! Follow my tips for coping with hayfever at festivals for a symptom-free weekend.
With Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Hull just around the corner, many of you will be eagerly awaiting the arrival of festival season! Unfortunately, the arrival of festival season tends to coincide with the arrival of hayfever season.
This, coupled with the fact that most of your time at a festival will be spent outside in the middle of a grassy field, means that hayfever symptoms are likely to make an appearance. Plus, we know that hayfever symptoms tend to get worse at night, and you're likely to be up late into the night at festivals!
While everyone else is praying for a warm, dry weekend, you might find yourself secretly hoping for a rainy weekend to save you from your sniffly nose, itchy eyes and constant sneezing!
We often recommend avoiding going outdoors on high pollen count days, but obviously at a festival this isn’t really possible – so what else can you do?
We’ve got local pollen count information for cities all over the country, so make sure to check the pollen count in your festival’s area before you go.
