Semana de conscientização sobre alergia este ano atraiu atenção extra após vários casos de alto perfil nos últimos 12 meses, alguns dos quais se mostraram fatais. Plantas. Nesta época do ano, vejo muita febre do feno ou como sua rinite alérgica sazonal clinicamente chamada. É mais tipicamente árvores e grama, como o pólen de árvore da bétula da primavera, que é altamente alergênico e plantio de bétulas perto de casas ou em terrenos da escola pode sensibilizar pessoas suscetíveis.

As a result, we are now more aware than ever before how serious some allergies can be.
As TV Doctor Dr Arun Ghosh says: “Many of us suffer from allergies or intolerances to chemicals, foods and plants. For the vast majority of us, this isn’t serious so long as we avoid the trigger causes and symptoms settle with simple shop bought antihistamines.
“However, sometimes it is very difficult if not impossible to avoid these triggers and in other cases finding the cause can be difficult to pin down. At this time of the year I see lots of Hay Fever or as its medically called, Seasonal allergic rhinitis.
“Seasonal allergic rhinitis is caused by airborne allergens from grasses, trees, weeds, plants and outdoor moulds which are wind pollinated.
“Funnily enough bright flowers whose pollination is by insects are unlikely to cause allergy. It is more typically trees and grass such as spring birch tree pollen which is highly allergenic and planting birch trees near homes or in school grounds can sensitise susceptible people.
“I often see lots of children with school examinations coming up, since most exams are taken in the summer months, when grass pollen levels are at their highest. But also, gardeners and grounds keepers are particularly susceptible to these symptoms and can lead to dangerous situations for anyone operating machinery outside. I’ve helped countless numbers of driving instructors too who find hay fever not only a hinderance but a danger.
“Though there are lots of treatment options including a few old wives tales, the best advice is always about how to avoid getting the symptoms in the first place which I give to all patients who are suffering. This includes:
- Monitore as previsões de pólen diariamente e fique dentro de casa sempre que possível quando a contagem estiver alta (geralmente em dias mais quentes e secos). O pólen das lavagens de chuva do ar, portanto, a contagem deve ser mais baixa em dias mais frios e úmidos. Cuidado com as tempestades quando a contagem de pólen é alta.
- Limite o tempo gasto em áreas rurais. A brisa do mar sopra o pólen para o interior, então fuja para a costa. Isso é mais importante nas primeiras manhãs, quando o pólen está sendo liberado e, à noite, quando o ar esfria e os pólens que foram transportados para o ar começam a cair no nível do solo novamente. Se você tiver sintomas alérgicos sempre que dentro de um veículo a motor, um bom filtro de pólen deve ajudar. Na casa, você pode escolher um filtro de ar que é experimentado e testado.

- On high pollen days, shower and wash your hair after arriving home and change your clothing (as pollen is virtually indestructible unless wet, so will stay on your hair, body and clothing).
- Keep windows closed when indoors. This is most important in the early mornings, when pollen is being released, and in the evening when the air cools and pollens that have been carried up into the air begin to fall to ground level again.
- Pollen counts tend to be high along roads with grass verges (dual-carriageways, motorways). If you have allergic symptoms whenever inside a motor vehicle, a good pollen filter should help. In the home you can choose an air filter that is tried and tested.
