If you're part of the 20 percent of Kiwis who suffer from hay fever - there's probably no need to tell you we're into peak season right now. The common allergic condition can affect your nose, throat, sinuses and eyes and be caused by a number of things - particularly plant pollens during spring and summer.

Joining Susie is Dr Anna Gilmour - she's the head of Dunedin-based Gilmour Allergy Services. If you have questions for her - you can text us at 2101 or email ninetonoon@rnz.co.nz.
