It looks like we’ve finally hit Spring time – my favorite time of the year especially in Brisbane. Warm days, beautiful blue skies = perfect beach weather! Flowers begin to bloom, trees are finishing pollinating, while grass and weeds are only starting to pollinate.

The increase of pollination combined with the urge to spend more time outside in the sunshine, can trigger those awful hay fever symptoms that you forgot about during Winter.
Spring time is a special time of the year, and shouldn’t be missed by anyone. So if you are a sufferer of hay fever during Spring and Summer, than right now is a good time to start putting in some preventative measures so that you don’t suffer for the rest of the year.
