Even though they’re literally as predictable as the seasons themselves, we’re still always caught unawares. Up to 30% of South Africans suffer from some kind of seasonal allergy.

The other problem is that allergies often mimic that other bug bear of the pre-winter months, flu. This can result in mistreating your symptoms and suffering much longer than is necessary.
As a rule, if it lasts for 10 days or more it probably isn’t flu and you should start reaching for the anti-histamines.
