Does a beard and mustache cause you to have hayfever worse??

this year i have had really bad hayfever - iv never had hayfever before but my girlfriend says because i have growen a beard and mustache the pollen in traped there and that is whats causing me to have the hayfever, is this true or is she just trying to get me to shave??

Yup! Pollen gets caught in hair, and facial hair is the worst because it's right on your face. Similarly, girls with fringes might find their eyes are affected by pollen. It's always in the air, and more so during these high pollen months.

I have suffered with severe allergies (dust, pollen, cats, dogs, horses etc) and hay fever during the spring and summer months every year for the past 10 years.

My eyes would literally be swollen sometimes to the point of not being able to see or leave the house. My nose would constantly be sniffing and dripping and running and itchy. The symptoms list goes on - I would feel so tired and run down and awful from it all, the whole summer.

I have spent thousands on every remedy I could find - either form my doctor, over the counter medication, from the internet, natural, homeopathic, you name it, I have tried it. And nothing has really made much of an impact.

I found homeopathy helped alleiviate the symptoms but not a massive great deal.

Then I read that dairy really contributes to allergies and hayfever.

So I cut dairy out. I was drinking up to 10 cups of tea with cows milk in a day. But now I drink my tea with soya milk, I actually prefer the taste of soya now!

So anyway, that was over 10 days agom and I haven't taken a single hay fever or allergy remedy since!!

I am literally a changed person, I can now wear eye makeup again because my eyes aren't tearing and running and swollen, I can't believe something so simple and cheap has completely turned my life around in terms of allergies and hayfever!!

I still eat cheese and yoghurts and ice cream in moderation. I haven't completely gone loactose free. But I seriously, seriously recommend you give this a go. My family and friends can't believe it;s me, I seem like a new person these days. I feel like one too, to be honest!

Good luck xx
