The climate crisis is exacerbating hay fever symptoms across Europe, with the pollen season now lasting up to two weeks longer than it did in the 1990s. This extension is primarily due to global heating, which alters the timing and intensity of pollen release from various plant species, leading to prolonged discomfort for millions suffering from allergic rhinitis. Symptoms include itchy eyes, runny noses, and breathing difficulties. Research shows that rising temperatures and changing weather patterns cause plants to produce pollen earlier and for a longer duration, increasing the likelihood of new allergy cases, especially in urban areas where air pollution worsens the effects. The consequences extend beyond discomfort, affecting productivity, healthcare costs, and overall quality of life, straining healthcare systems during peak allergy seasons.
