Allergy sufferers have already noticed: sneezing, rhinitis, red eyes, asthma… the signs of allergy are unmistakable!<\/strong> “Hay fever” is a common term, but the spectrum of allergenic plants is very broad. Grass is the main cause of “pollinosis”. It can be found everywhere (over 1,200 species recorded!), particularly in natural meadows and lawns. In the tree category, birch, hornbeam, alder and hazel are the most harmful to sensitive people. <\/strong>However, there’s no point cutting down the trees in your garden or replacing your lawn with gravel. Pollen is mainly spread by the wind and can travel several kilometres! <\/p>\n\n
