Can't offer much of relevance but my hay fever has been horrible this year, first time I ever got an actual fever as a result of it too. Moved to a pretty rural spot 2 years ago, don't recall it being particularly bad last year, this year has been horrible though. Never really suffered from it when I lived in London.

Hay fever is odd, as you need to find which pollen you are allergic to.
Have had hay fever symptoms in the past and not the same time of year so never figured out what pollen it was. A doc did mention that pollution can increase sensitivity to pollen. First hit on google
Pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and ozone can attack the pollen grains, bursting them open and releasing more of the highly allergic proteins that trigger hay fever. Ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide pollution also attack the membranes in the respiratory tract, making people more susceptible to the pollen

I'm just in my 60s, having been feeling knocked out for about week. Sore eyes, blocked nose, sore throat. Not a collection of things I've suffered from previously. Previously had covid and had both vaccines. Had one of those covid chemist tests and negative.
Went to the seaside on Friday, nice breeze coming off the sea, clear skies and warm. All symptoms disappeared. As soon as we set off back in to the countryside symptoms back again. Repeated yesterday and same again.
Pretty convinced hay fever, never had it before, ever. Not sure it is something the covid has done or just late onset Hay fever.
Anyone else?
