- Certain fruits like apples, cherries, and pears.
- Some nuts, especially almonds and hazelnuts.
- Raw vegetables that may share protein structures with ash pollen.
- If you experience symptoms of allergic rhinitis during the spring.
- If your symptoms seem to worsen when in proximity to ash trees.
- If over-the-counter allergy medications do not alleviate your symptoms.
- If you have asthma and your symptoms worsen seasonally.
- Stay indoors on dry, windy days when pollen counts are high.
- Use air conditioning in your home and car.
- Shower and change clothes after being outdoors.
- Consider over-the-counter or prescription antihistamines, nasal sprays, or eye drops.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
