Do you suffer with allergic rhinitis (hay fever)?
Allergic rhinitis is one of the most common allergic conditions, affecting one in five people in Australia. It affects 1 in 5 adults, 1 in 10 teenagers and an estimated 1 in 20 young children.
Despite its common name, it is not caused by hay and does not result in fever.
Allergic rhinitis is caused by allergens in the environment such as pollens (grasses, weeds or trees), dust mites, moulds and animal dander (flakes of skin, animal fur, hair or feathers) coming into contact with the nose and/or eyes.
