Allergy hospitalizations surge

There’s been a surge in hospital admissions due to allergies. The Geneva University Hospital say there’s been a 25% rise compared to last year.

Pollen is proving to be a major issue now due to the hot weather and it's peak season for grass.

Peter Schmid from the Zurich University Hospital told RSI that people are being more suspectable to pollen due to pollution, warmer temperatures and the fact we’re living in very clean conditions – which is lowering our resistance.

Untreated pollen allergies could lead to asthma, according to doctors.
