For those who have it badly, having hayfever in summer is fighting a pitched battle with your nose; a battle you are hopelessly losing. Pocket tissues, napkins, anything to hand become frontline soldiers in battle, suffering many casualties.

Indeed, with hayfever, the very air is your poison. Your eyes go puffy, your nose flares up... it isn't pretty.

With summer in full swing across the Northern Hemisphere, do you suffer from hayfever? Do you try to treat it with various medicines, or just shut-in and bunker up inside the house for all of summer?
