Constantinis via Getty Images Almost half of the UK population struggle with hay fever symptoms, according to a survey by Allergy UK – nearly double the number previously thought. The issue, also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis, occurs when your body has an allergic reaction to pollen – typically when it comes into contact with your mouth, nose, eyes and throat. It was previously estimated to affect somewhere between 10 and 13 million people in the UK, or 20-30% of the population. But a survey of 7,000 people by Allergy UK and Kleenex reveals that far more people may be struggling. There’s also been a “significant increase” in the number of those with the allergy – more than a third (37%) said they had developed symptoms for the first time in the last five years.
