The summer season is here (or is it in Tassie?!), with it that typically means higher pollen that will trigger allergic reactions in many people. 
Hay fever affects up to 1 in 5 Aussies at some point and can be really debilitating. This week we caught up with Penny Jones and Lachlan Tegart from the Menzies Institute for Medical Research, University of Tasmania to talk about their work to understand the causes of hay fever.
