Thunderstorm Asthma and Hay Fever by RN Robyn Holmes
Grass pollen season (October- December) brings the chance of thunderstorm asthma and hay fever. If you suffer from hay fever or asthma, it can be serious and life threatening, if not managed well. Although it does not happen every year, we must prepare ourselves for an epidemic thunderstorm asthma. If you have asthma or hay fever it can trigger severe asthma symptoms if not managed well. This is highest in adults who are sensitised to grass pollen and have seasonal allergic rhinitis even without known asthma.
