Hello, you're about to listen to a BBC podcast, and I'm Ed Gamble, host of another BBC podcast,

The Traitors Uncloaked. But my show is available only on BBC Sounds, just like Ellis and John's

Saturday bonus episodes, the Pop Top Ten podcast with Scott Mills and Ryland, and comedy specials

from the likes of Harriet Kemsley, Susie Ruffel and Rommas Shranger Nathan. However, and maybe I'm biased, it's really all about the traitors uncloked.

So for a whole bunch of exclusive scoops and podcasts, listen only on BBC Sounds.

BBC Sounds, music, radio podcasts.

Hello there.

We've taken the inside health studio to the park.

Largely because it's a gloriously sunny day and we can spend a time under the trees,

lying on the grass, chatting to our guests, but also for a very serious reason.

Because we're discussing hay fever, it's going to be the complete guide to our guests, but also for a very serious reason, because we're discussing

hay fever. It's going to be the complete guide to hay fever this episode, because there's been

a lot of discussion about whether this is the worst hay fever season we've ever had. Phrases like

killer pollen, pollen bombs, pollen from hell, and I'm going to pick on our master of the microphone,

because Martha has basically created the studio in the park. And this is like the first

hay fever you've ever had, isn't it? Yeah, first time in my whole life. So what's going on?

I've just been crying for three weeks straight. I really wish she told me that before we got to the park, because we're probably going to make it worse. Should have got some goggles, shouldn't I? Yeah. But hopefully we'll have some answers for you by the end of our program with our guests, Dr. Navdrylada, a clinical editor at the British Medical Journal, and Professor Danny Altman, who's Professor of Immunology at Imperial College London. Thanks so much for coming out. I mean, it's not really a chore for you, is it? It's glorious day. It's great. It's pleasure. Yeah, it's lovely. And I've had my anti-histamine today, so I'm all set. I have mine in my coat pockets. So right, I get a lot of hay fever and like most of the time it's

manageable but then there'll be just that day that my nose implodes and it's I can barely do

anything because my nose is streaming all day long and like it gets really heavy and it's

it's just brutal you two now droire yeah i'm i'm the same i can

rumble on quite happily most of the time but then i'll get a day where yeah eye streaming sneezing

runny nose the works and then yeah i just take my amtis to me when i need it and that tends to do
