SBS acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country and their connections and continuous care for the skies, lands, and waterways throughout Australia.
Spring can be beautiful. The weather warms up, flowers start blooming and suddenly everyone is outside enjoying the sunshine.
Allan: Achoo!
Claire: Bless you!
Allan: Thanks.
Well, almost everyone. For some people, spring also means sneezing every five seconds.
Hi, I'm Kate, and in this episode, we're practising everyday English you can use to talk about hay fever.
Hay fever is an allergy that can make you sneeze and give you watery eyes or a runny nose. It often happens when there's lot of pollen in the air.
Pollen is a very fine powder that comes from flower. And in spring there is a lot of it in the air. Maybe, when spring comes, you, like Allan and me, struggle with hay fever. Or perhaps you know someone who does.
The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare says that nearly one in four Australians — more than 6 million people — had hay fever in 2022. That is a lot of sneezing.
So, let's learn how to talk about it!
Allan: My allergies are really bad at the moment. I can't stop sneezing.
Claire: Oh, that must be doing your head in. Are your eyes itchy too?
Allan: Yeah, really itchy. I keep rubbing them. I've already taken an antihistamine, but it hasn't kicked in yet.
Claire: You've really been hit hard by it. I hope it eases up soon.
I know exactly how Allan feels. When my hay fever is bad, I can go through a whole box of tissues before lunchtime. If that sounds familiar, let’s learn some useful ways to talk about it.
Allan first said:
My allergies are really bad at the moment.
You have an allergy is when your body reacts to something that is usually harmless. Some people have an allergy to certain foods, animals, dust or pollen.
A lot of people have an allergy to very small bits that float in the air from pollen, dust or mould. We call this hay fever.
You could say:
I get hay fever every spring.
Or:
I think the pollen is getting to me today.
If something is getting to you, it is starting to affect you or make you feel unwell or upset. Here, Allan means the pollen is causing his hay fever symptoms.
Allan also said:
I can't stop sneezing.
To sneeze is when you react to something so that you suddenly push air out of your nose and mouth. You often sneeze when you have a cold in your head. You could also say:
I've been sneezing all morning.
Or:
I've gone through so many tissues today.
To go through something means to use a lot of something. So, Allan has used a lot of tissues because he has been sneezing and blowing his nose. If someone sneezes, you could say:
Bless you!
Did you know that ancient people believed that a sneeze could make your soul leave your body? So, people said “Bless you” to help keep you safe.
Let's go back to our dialogue. Claire said:
That must be doing your head in.
Doing your head in is an informal expression. It means that something is very annoying or frustrating.
You can use this phrase in a. Lot of different situations when something is annoying, and you don’t like it. For example:
All these emails are doing my head in.
Claire also asked:
Are your eyes itchy too?
If a part of your body is Itchy, then it is irritated and you feel like you want to scratch or rub it. If you have hay fever, you might have itchy eyes, an itchy nose or:
My throat feels itchy.
Allan replied that his eyes felt very uncomfortable:
Yeah, really itchy. I keep rubbing them.
To rub means to move your hand back and forward over something. People often want to rub their eyes when they are itchy, but it only makes them feel worse, so you might say:
Try not to rub your eyes too much.
Allan also said:
I've already taken an antihistamine, but it hasn't kicked in yet.
An antihistamine is a medicine that people often take to help with their allergies, including hay fever.
When a medicine kicks in, it starts working. For example:
I hope my antihistamine kicks in soon.
At the end, Claire said:
You’ve really been hit hard by it.
If someone has been hit hard by something, it has affected them very badly.
For example, when I visited the US, I was hit hard by jet lag. Or this summer, parts of southern Europe have been hit very hard by bushfires.
You can be hit hard by all kinds of different bad situations – by difficult news or by the cost of living ...anything that has a big effect on you. For example,
We've been hit hard by the rent increase this year.
Claire also said:
I hope it eases up soon.
To ease up means to become less strong. For example:
My hay fever is starting to ease up.
And if someone you know is struggling with hay fever, there are a few simple, kind things you can say to show that you feel for them:
- You poor thing.
- Hay fever can be such a pain.
- pollen is really out in force today.
If something is out in force, there is a lot of it. Here, Claire means there seems to be a lot of pollen in the air today.
