Itch, sneeze, wipe, repeat.
The life of a hay fever sufferer is never easy. From drippy eyes to itchy throats we get a tough old time of it, especially during the Summer months when it seems like we are pretty much allergic to life.
Pollen is most definitely not our friend, But don't worry because you are not alone.
Here are 11 serious struggles only people who are allergic to pollen will truly understand.
1. The itchiness
When you've got hay fever, itching your eyes is a full-time task. Even when you are not scratching you're thinking about it. You know you shouldn't, but they are just so damn ITCHY!
2. The sneezing
It never stops. Seriously! Even when you think you're being discreet about it, you're really not.
3. Which leads to everyone asking if you're sick
No, I do not have a cold. Yes, I am healthy. No, you can't catch my hay fever.
4. The struggle to see is very real
On days when the pollen count is particularly high, your eyes often swell up so much that you struggle to see, which is always fab!
5. You always look like you're sad
During the summer months, people around you always think you're having an emotional breakdown because you're usually found weeping and sneezing in a corner.

6. Seriously, people think you're crying all the time
Why can't they understand that you're just allergic to pollen?
7. You live for the pollen count
Forget the weather forecast, all you care about is the pollen count. While other people are nattering away about the sunshine expected for the weekend, all you can think about is whether or not you will be able to spend it outside.
8. The great outdoors is often off limits
When your friends ask you to go cycling in the country or have a BBQ in the park your answer is usually no.
9. Everything in your make up bag is waterproof
Obviously! There is no way you can afford to take any chances with runaway masscara.
10.You never have enough tissues
No matter how many you thought you put in your bag. There is no limit to the number of packets you need to buy on a weekly basis. Absolutely no limit at all.
11. You have to blow your nose every five minutes
You have mastered the below technique and you don't even care what people say. It gets the job done.
