Adult-onset hayfever sweeping the nation


New research from Boots finds that, contrary to popular belief, most people don’t suffer their first incidence of hayfever as a child, but shockingly at almost 30 years old[1].12-06-2009

Boots’ pharmacist Angela Chalmers says: ‘Every year we see more and more adult customers coming into the pharmacy requiring hayfever remedies for the first time. Many say that they had no idea that they could suffer their first incidence after childhood – they thought they’d ‘escaped’, but this is clearly not true.

“We’re not entirely sure why this is, but we do know that you’re more likely to get hayfever if there is a history of allergies in your family, particularly asthma or eczema. It’s also possible an increase in pollution may be a significant contributory factor as to why the average first-time hayfever sufferer is now well into adulthood.”

 Boots offer a wide range of hayfever remedies, including new one-a-day Hayfever and Allergy Relief Tablets 60s (£11.99) http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=923880&callingViewName=&langId=-1&catalogId=11051

and Boots Hayfever Relief Eye Drops (10ml, £4.69) http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=11553&callingViewName=&langId=-1&catalogId=11051.
