The UK has one of the highest prevalence rates of allergic conditions on the planet, with 1 in 3 of us living with allergies and hay fever.
That’s around 21 million people in total, with all age groups impacted by hay fever symptoms in the UK. Some allergies are more common than others, including hay fever, house dust mite allergies, pet allergies and food allergies; but there are many most people haven’t heard of.
Remember, if you’re suffering from an allergy, you’re not the only one. Allergy UK’s statistics show:
- 44% of adults in the UK suffer from at least one allergy, and the number is always increasing
- Around 10 million allergy sufferers in the UK have more than one allergy – which equates to about 50% of all British allergy sufferers
- Across the whole of Europe, allergies are the most common condition
- Nearly a third of allergy sufferers have had to alter their lifestyle to help manage their allergy symptoms
