Hay fever affects me because my nose starts running so it gets sore and my eyes get really itchy and watery. I take some nasal spray every night and some hay fever tablets daily.

I suffer from hay fever extremely badly, so this will really help me!

When I get hay fever I start to sneeze and feel really ill and I find it very strange.
