Poll: How's your hay fever?

Eleanor Wenman Reporter from Upper Hutt Leader

New Zealand - warm, humid, stormy and grassy - is already one of the worst countries for hay fever and with the recent hot weather, it looks set to get worse with pollen and other allergens thriving in the humid conditions. Do you suffer from hay fever and if so, have you found this summer worse than usual? Let us know. Comments may be used in print unless marked NFP (not for print)
