Difference Between Hayfever/Asthma/COVID symptoms

There are over 300,000 people in Ireland, who have both asthma and hayfever. They should take precautions during this years “Pollen Season” to avoid a potentially fatal asthma attack.
The Asthma Society of Ireland recently launched its annual Hayfever Campaign for the 304,000 people who have both asthma and hayfever in Ireland. The Asthma Society’s Hayfever Campaign includes the Pollen Tracker, providing daily updates of pollen levels nationwide, and also predictions of pollen levels for the following day. The Asthma Society is encouraging people with hayfever to visit the Pollen Tracker page on asthma.ie regularly and to ensure their hayfever is well managed this summer.
Unmanaged hayfever symptoms are capable of causing asthma symptoms to escalate into a potentially serious asthma attack, which in some case can be fatal. One person dies every week in Ireland from asthma.

People with asthma need to ensure their hayfever is well managed throughout “Pollen Season” which runs from now until September. The Pollen Tracker on asthma.ie will allow people to recognise the days that require additional precautions for managing their hayfever.
