#BritainBreathing

#BritainBreathing is the first nationwide project aiming to better understand when the symptoms of seasonal allergies (such as hay fever) occur, what factors affect this and why seasonal allergies are on the rise.

 

We need you

People

 

To do this, we need to collect data from lots of people on when and where their seasonal allergies (such as hay fever) occur. This will allow us to create a big database that we can combine with other information such as pollen counts or pollution data to build a better understanding of allergies and their triggers.

How do I take part?

When you start entering your allergy symptoms into the app, you will be able to track how these change over time.  This might give you insights into what is triggering your allergies.
