While we all await summer with bated breath for the chance of a bit of sun and a BBQ, there’s one thing we never get excited for… hay fever!
Yes it’s the runny nose, eye itchy terror that comes with the summer and it can be a real nightmare for sufferers. But do you know what can help with it? Sex.
No, we’re not being crude. Sexual healing could well be your pass to a hay fever free summer.
Scientists in Iran discovered a link between reproductive system and the nasal system, and their work was published in a medical journal called Medical Hypotheses.
They found that sex constricts blood vessels in the nose, causing it to unblock, and the eyes, meaning they stop watering.
And so, Sina Zarrintan, one of the neurologists, said it could be a way of treating symptoms, enjoyably!
He said: "It can be done from time to time to alleviate the congestion and the patient can adjust the number of intercourses depending on the severity of the symptoms."
It is thought to be more helpful for men as the relief was specifically linked to ejaculation.
However, another scientist also at Tabriz Medical University, said: “There are some limitations in using ejaculation as a treatment of nasal congestion, such as not being applicable out of home and not having any sex partner."
Of course there is also the issue of whether people suffering badly from hay fever will want to get frisky between the sheets.

Dr Michael Benninger added to Lad Bible: “I usually recommend beginning allergy treatment with non-sedating antihistamines or an intranasal steroid two to three weeks before their prime allergy season.
"The earlier that allergies are treated, the less difficulty people will have during the allergy season."
Celebrities detailed their hay fever troubles, including Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague.
The 22 year old posted a video which she captioned: "Hay fever just isn't the one."
She expressed: "I don't know if I'm the only one, but has anyone else's hay fever today absolutely uncontrollable?
"My nose won't stop streaming, my eyes are streaming, they're so puffy. I can't put make-up on. Send help."
A few hours later, the Instagram influencer shared a snap of a bottle of water and some allergy tablets that her beau Tommy Fury, 22, got for her.
