  1. DEALING WITH ALLERGIES IN SPRING Spring allergies are typically caused by an increase in pollen in the air. Here’s a list of the most common forms of allergies found in spring: 01 02 HAY FEVER Stats show that allergic rhinitis affects around 19.3% of the population of Australia. SKIN ALLERGIES Around 1.6 million Australians suffer from atopic dermatitis, with the disease usually affecting children. With hay fever you may experience a runny nose, itchy, watery eyes, ear congestion and sneezing fits. The same allergens which cause hay fever may also trigger skin allergies, hives and rashes. 03 04 CONTACT DERMATITIS If you’ve spent the day gardening & weeding your lawn and woken up the next day with blisters all over your hands, you may have accidentally touched a plant that causes contact dermatitis. INSECT BITES Insect bites and stings can cause pain, itching, swelling or redness around the affected site. In certain cases, these bites and stings can cause a potentially threatening allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis. Contact dermatitis is not contagious and doesn’t spread. SPRING ALLERGIES PRECAUTIONS Keep windows and doors closed when indoors, especially at night. Avoid outdoor activity on early morning on days when pollen count is high. When gardening or mowing, wear a face mask, hat and protective clothing or outsource the task. Use a portable HEPA filter, air conditioner and dehumidifier when indoors. Spring clean regularly to remove pollen and allergens from your surroundings. Avoid hanging laundry outside as pollen can stick to them. Although several over-the-counter allergy medications are available in Australia, you may need a prescription for others, in which case Prime Medic’s online doctors in Australia can help you get a prescription online.
