New drug therapy that could beat the misery of hay fever forever

As a keen gardener, Steve Moore would have liked to spend his Sunday afternoons mowing the lawn.

The trial was launched last year and it is hoped that the treatment — daily tablets and having an injection every two weeks for two years — will take effect within four months Steve, who started the treatment in November, does not have long to wait to see if the new therapy has worked because the hay fever season has already begun thanks to the unseasonably warm weather.Julie McBride, 47, from Northampton, works in pastoral support at Northampton University.

As I got older, I tried everything to help, even acupuncture, but nothing ever touched my hay fever. At times it felt as if it was controlling my life. Antihistamine medication did nothing. I went back to my allergy specialist that year as my symptoms worsened. I started taking it at the end of summer, so didn’t feel much of a benefit. But the following March I didn’t have any hay fever symptoms. No itchy nose, no streaming eyes — nothing. It had worked.I finished taking the medication last year because the trial ended. I wish I could have stayed on it for ever.

Forecasters predict that the hay fever season will be milder this year compared with 2021. But even if the predictions are correct, millions will still be affected by debilitating hay fever symptoms — sneezing, running nose and itchy eyes, as well as fatigue. Research published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology in 2007 showed that teenagers who had hay fever symptoms on the day they were sitting an exam were 40 per cent more likely to drop a grade from their predicted exam results.

‘Birch tree pollen is produced in the previous June or July, when a spell of good weather can increase pollen production,’ she says. ‘Grass pollen production is higher when April and May are warm and wet.’A warm February normally means an earlier birch pollen season, as we are already experiencing this year. But that doesn’t necessarily make the season end sooner. What matters for the longevity of the season is how warm it is from now.
