How Climate Change is Intensifying Hay Fever in Ireland

In this episode, Sheena explains how climate change is worsening hay fever in Ireland. The discussion covers the extended pollen seasons due to warmer and wetter climates, the increase in pollen counts fueled by higher carbon dioxide levels, and the introduction of new allergens like ragweed. Sheena also provides actionable advice on identifying and reporting ragweed, staying informed about pollen forecasts, and exploring advanced treatment options like immunomodulators. The episode emphasises the need for awareness and early action to mitigate the impact of climate change on hay fever.
