With the days starting to get longer now with lighter mornings and evenings, we are also coming into hay fever season. Knowing that many people are affected quite badly from hay fever for this week’s check-in with Pharmacist Elizabeth Roddick from New Life Pharmacy in Glasgow we thought we would focus on hay fever. 

Elizabeth began by explaining to RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey that hey fever is an allergy and the different types of pollen that cause hay fever.

Elizabeth then went on to talk about treatments for hay fever and, apart from the annoying symptoms, whether there are any dangers to health from having hay fever.

Finally Elizabeth and Toby talked about whether anything at all could be done to prevent hay fever.
