Pollen from grass can trigger hayfever, a type of allergy â your doctor may call it seasonal allergic rhinitis.

Allergy to grass pollen is the most common type of pollen allergy in the UK, with over 90% of people with hayfever having an allergy to grass pollen. Slideshow: 10 common allergy triggers.
