Has anyone been having allergic reactions this year who doesn't normally get
them? I'm suffering a bit with my eyes and have never, ever had hay fever
in my life. They've been watery and a little itchy and the pharmacist told
me that they've seen a lot of people this year who've never had complaints
before. It's not an infection, apparently, just a reaction.

I've never had hay-fever or any allergies in my life, but over the last
couple of months had lots of sudden unexpected violent sneezes. Runner bean
foliage has also become a new problem - it makes my arms itch.

I have had the sneezes, too and with no apparent rhyme or reason to it. I
sneeze 7 or 8 times and it's over!

Yes, that's a me too and I know dozens of similar occurrences amongst
friends and family.
One theory is that there are lots of new foreign creepy crawlies and
associated droppings around, and lots of new pollens from the weird exotic
stuff that is flowing in.

I blame global warming and the lack of rain:-)

My littl'un gets one bout a year (has done for two years now) from rape.
There's a field next door, it only happens when it starts to go yellow.

Mind you, I was sneezing yesterday like a sneezy thing, but I put it down to
spending hours planting and stuff outside in the rain.

My mother at 80 has suddenly become asthmatic, her GP says it is becoming
quite common to develop allergies later in life (apparently due to the
onslaught of chemicals in household cleaning products and various scents
they put in everything??)

Whilst I do suffer a slight hey fever reaction at certain times of year,
it is much worse this year!

Well you can't blame lack of rain now!! I don't think it has stopped
for more than a few minutes for the last 4/5 days here!

You'll soon feel better now Bliar and Prescott are out. )

I have suffered hay fever for a number of years - usually around June time -
this year touch wood no symptoms at all.
However have recently been diagnosed as asthmatic after a 6 day stay in
hospital december last year.
It may be the inhaler that contains steroids that help me in what would have
been a very sneezy June.

This year for the first time, I have suffered from symptoms just as
you describe above. Edward tells me that I have become sensitive to
pollen. I also have a small difficulty with breathing occasionally
and I am just hoping that I am not becoming asthmatic in my old age.
