Allergic rhinitis is a common problem, affecting over 20% of the UK population. Grass pollens usually cause symptoms from late spring to early summer. Main lines of treatment are education, allergy avoidance, antihistamines and topical steroids [1]. NHS England has estimated that ~20,000 people in England require referral to a specialist centre for severe allergy, with half of those receiving specialist interventions such as immunotherapy or investigation for drug allergy [2].
