Hay Fever Sufferers Praise 'Amazing' £1.99 Pollen Wipes

If you suffer or have ever suffered with hay fever, you will know all too well the pain and misery it can bring about.

But the days of runny noses, itchy eyes and scratchy throats could soon be but a distant, unpleasant memory - and all for less than £2.

This is thanks to the boffins over at Nuage and their special wipes that help catch that pesky pollen and stop it from wreaking havoc.

According to Superdrug: "Hay fever relief wipes remove and trap pollen in the tissue to help catch and remove pollen and allergens that you may come into contact with such as dust and other irritants.

"Enriched with peppermint and tea tree oil, these natural oils remain on your skin helping to trap further pollen and irritants that are in the air for long term protection."

The handy little wipes went down a storm last summer, with shoppers branding them 'amazing'.

Heaping praise on the product, one previous customer said: "They are amazing, used them last year and worked well."

Echoing the joy brought about by the wipes, another commented: "These are absolutely amazing! I used these last year! Must get some more, hay fever full on atm."

A third said: "Have used these and have been very effective. Would recommend."

While another added: "Honestly best things about. Helped me so much more than what I got from the doctors! I bought these last year and couldn't recommend them enough."

And with the UK having been hit by a pollen bomb this Bank Holiday weekend, it looks like these bad boys could just be just the thing you need right now.

The Met Office tweeted at the weekend to warn that pollen season is now officially underway, saying: "The grass #pollen season is now beginning with the arrival of the warmer weather, with more species coming into flower. Weed pollen is an increasing risk too."

A summary for Monday 31 May, posted on the Met Office website, says: "Grass pollen risk will increase as more species start flowering. Fungal spores at medium risk. Weed pollen increasing to medium risk."

Sounds... snotty.

According to the NHS, symptoms of hay fever include: sneezing and coughing; a runny or blocked nose; itchy, red or watery eyes; itchy throat, mouth, nose and ears; loss of smell; pain around your temples and forehead; headache; earache; and feeling tired.

If you have asthma, you may also have a tight feeling in your chest, be short of breath or wheeze and cough.
