01.01.2022 With the pollen count so high at the moment, the risk of thunderstorm asthma is increased. To help manage your hayfever and asthma, the following resources are available: Community information is available on the Better Health Channel: www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/thunderstormasthma Additional resources are available from Asthma Australia: https://asthma.org.au/ ... The Australian Asthma Handbook and a dedicated information paper on thunderstorm asthma are available from the National Asthma Council website: https://www.nationalasthma.org.au/ The epidemic thunderstorm asthma forecast will be issued from 1 Oct to 31 Dec 2020. You can access the forecast via the VicEmergency website or app, the Health.Vic website or the Melbourne Pollen website or app. Grass pollen season brings a seasonal increase in asthma and hay fever (seasonal allergic rhinitis). It also brings the chance of epidemic thunderstorm asthma. Thunderstorm asthma can affect those with asthma or seasonal hay fever. Having both asthma and seasonal hay fever and poorly managed asthma increases the risk further. The best way that those at risk can protect themselves, is to have good control of their asthma and hay fever by having an up-to-date asthma action plan or hay fever treatment plan, learning asthma first aid and avoiding storms during the grass pollen season, including the wind gusts that precede them. All those with asthma, and particularly those with mild asthma, should see their GP to develop or review asthma action plans and make sure any associated hay fever is well managed.
