Here’s a quick guide to hayfever around Australia:
Hayfever in New South Wales
Not typically considered a high risk state for hay fever
, the 2007/08 National Health Survey (NHS) reported the second lowest incidence of allergic rhinitis in Australia occurs in NSW, with 13,300 per 100,000 population affected. For those that do, hayfever season in NSW peaks in October and November, but different pollens are released at different times. This means people with multiple allergies could experience symptoms through to March. Tree pollen starts to be released at the end of July or early August, followed by grass pollens from mid-September, then weed pollens.
Hayfever in Western Australia
Flush with grasses and wide open spaces where plant life flourishes year round,
West Aussies are among the worst hit by hayfever each year
. The 2007/08 NHS reveals WA has the second highest rate of allergic rhinitis, with 19,700 per 100,000 population suffering its effects. The White Cypress, a common cause of allergies, flowers from late July through to the end of August in WA, and allergenic grasses in the southern part are affected by northern hemisphere grasses, with the main flowering period in October - December.
Hayfever in South Australia
Prevailing winds have a big impact on the concentration on pollens in South Australia, and the 2007/08 NHS shows South Australians’ suffer significantly higher rates of allergic rhinitis that the Australian average,
with 17,200 per 100,000 population affected, compared to 15,100 per 100,000 population.
Hayfever in Australian Capital Territory
According to the NHS, allergic rhinitis rates were highest in the Australian Capital Territory,
where 21,000 per 100,000 population are affected. Residents of Canberra are also badly affected, due to the large amount of exotic plants in the city.
Hayfever in Victoria
Pollen numbers are higher on the Victorian south coast because the prevailing winds are from the north, carrying pollen from the northerly grasslands.
Incidence of hayfever is higher than the national average,
with 17,500 per 100,000 population affected.
Hayfever in Queensland
Those in Queensland can breathe a sigh of relief; according to the NHS report, Queenslanders experience the lowest levels in the country and well under the national average
at 11,300 per 100,000 population affected. Interestingly, they have some of the longest seasons of pollen causing plants in Australia.
Hayfever in the Northern Territory
There are no true statistics on hayfever in the Northern Territory
as so far the sample sizes have been too small to provide a reliable estimate, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare study of Allergic rhinitis (’hayfever’) in Australia, November 2011.
Hayfever in Tasmania
Tasmanians have relatively high levels of hayfever
with around 16,500 people out of every 100,000 suffering from allergic rhinitis.
How to avoid hayfever
Regardless of where you live, the simplest trick to reducing your risk of hayfever is avoidance.
Try and stay away from grasses and pollen as much as you can,
and you can prevent pollen from entering the nose by coating your nostrils with Vaseline – though this is not for everyone! Also, wear sunglasses during the day if you are out and about during the warmer weather (especially if it is windy) to reduce eye exposure to allergens, pollen and dust.
Use a wet cloth to dust surfaces around your house regularly, and avoid hanging out sheets to dry outside on days when the pollen count is high. Many online weather sites will have four day pollen counts so you can plan ahead.
