Good evening everyone. Thanks for coming.
My name is ….
Can you all hear me?
My presentation is about hay fever.
I’ve divided my presentation into six points.
First I will tell you the introduction. And then I will take off.
There will be plenty of time at the end to take your questions.
Ok, let’s move on to the introduction.
I will start with my motivation (why I choose this subject)
Then I will tell you something about hay fever
Symptoms
How to manage your hay fever
How to avoid triggers
And finally I will talk about the treatments for hay fever from a GP
Motivation
My motivation for this subject
I got hay fever myself ever since I was 5 years old
So that’s why this subject is more easily for me to talk about
We were recommended to take an subject without any emotional feelings
About Hay Fever
It is a common condition also known as seasonal allergic rhinitis
It is an allergic condition where the body’s immune system overreacts to substances that are useually
harmless, for example pollen from grasses, flowers, weeds or trees.
It affects around 1 in 5 people in the Netherlands and often runs in families
It is getting worse between late March and September, especially when it’s warm, humid and windy.
This is when pollen count is at its highest
Pollen causes the release of a chemical called histamine from cells in the nose, eyes and airways
Hay fever is an allergic reaction to pollen, typically when it comes into contact with your mouth, nose
eyes and throat. Pollen is a fine powder from plants.
Some people suffer symptoms all year round.
- They are allergic to indoor allergens such as house dust, mites and pets.
Symptoms
- Sneezing an couching
- Fatique
- Itchy, blocked or running nose
- Red, itchy, puffy or watery eyes
- Itchy throat
- Headaches
Managing your hay fever
The severity of symptoms can vary
Some people need medication to manage their symptoms
Other manage their condition by avoiding triggers
If treatment is needed, a wide range of medications can be purchased over the counter and
supermarkets
These medications are usually cheaper than a prescription and you get them without seeing your
doctor.
