During the bank holiday weekend, London experienced an unusually high level of pollen, termed a 'pollen bomb' by residents. Despite the Met Office's forecast of low pollen levels, park-goers reported severe symptoms such as tight chests and red eyes. Even individuals who typically do not suffer from hay fever found themselves affected. Social media posts showcased widespread confusion and discomfort, with users commenting on the intense pollen clouds, which left visible residues on clothing and impacted breathing, sparking a collective inquiry into the pollen situation.
I felt like I had literal shards of pollen going into my eyes. Please tell me I'm not the only one because that was scary...
Even trusty Fexofenadine barely touching the wheezing, sneezy, fog-brained sides.
It feels like you're choking even though you don't have hay fever.
The pollen levels were so high that they were struggling to see and having difficulty breathing.
