Pollen is most definitely not our friend, But don’t worry because you are not alone.
Here are 11 serious struggles only people who are allergic to pollen will truly understand.

When you’ve got hay fever, itching your eyes is a full-time task. Even when you are not scratching you’re thinking about it. You know you shouldn’t, but they are just so damn ITCHY!

2. The sneezing
It never stops. Seriously! Even when you think you’re being discreet about it, you’re really not.
3. Which leads to everyone asking if you’re sick
No, I do not have a cold. Yes, I am healthy. No, you can’t catch my hay fever.
4. The struggle to see is very real
On days when the pollen count is particularly high, your eyes often swell up so much that you struggle to see, which is always fab!
