Hay Fever Season Lengthens

Hay Fever Season Lengthens

The study, published in The Lancet, warns that global heating is worsening the misery for millions of allergy sufferers.

Itchy eyes and runny noses are now starting earlier in the spring and persisting further into the summer months.

Charities have also highlighted that many GPs remain untrained in managing surging allergy rates among children and adults.

The findings underscore the direct impact of climate change on public health and the need for better diagnostic and treatment resources.
