MANAGE YOUR HAY
FEVER WITH
HAYMAX
Late May, June and July are peak hay fever season. Unfortunately this
is when grass pollen is at its highest and 95% of hay fever sufferers
are allergic to grass pollen. There are many ways that anglers can help
tackle their allergy symptoms and still enjoy their fishing. Airborne
allergens expert and creator of HayMax allergen barrier balm, Max
Wiseberg offers his advice to anglers with hay fever this summer.
“Hay fever is a result of our immune system’s overreaction to innocuous
allergens such as pollen. The body’s reaction to pollen is to produce
histamines. Normal amounts of histamines in your brain are good
– they keep you alert, attentive and awake. But, when there are too
many in your body, they produce the various symptoms common to
hay fever sufferers including sneezing, a runny nose, nasal congestion,
itchy eyes, watery eyes, streaming eyes, swollen eyes, and an itchy
nose and throat.”
“My eight pillars of wisdom for anglers with hay fever this summer
are:”
“Time your angling trips to avoid peak pollen. You should avoid going
out fishing – or even being outdoors – when the pollen count is highest,
generally first thing in the morning and early evening, especially on
dry, warm, sunny days.”
“Use HayMax daily. Apply this organic drug-free allergen barrier balm
first thing in the morning, before you go to bed at night and before
going out fishing during the day. HayMax (haymax.biz) has been proven
to trap over one third of pollen particles [1] and is suitable for anglers
