Hay fever season is now up to two weeks longer than it was in the 1990s — and climate change could be the reason. A new Lancet report says rising temperatures are shifting when plants bloom, meaning pollen hits earlier and stays longer. Nearly four in ten children in the UK are affected by allergies, but charities warn NHS treatment is seriously under-resourced. Doctors say the best thing you can do is start antihistamines before the season kicks in. #hayfever #climatechange #allergies #weather
