It's that time of year again when pollen is starting to cause mayhem in the office. Are you being driven mad by those colleagues who are constantly sniffling, coughing and spluttering? I know I am.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all in sympathy of hayfever sufferers, but when someone refuses to blow their nose and sneezes saliva all over you because they're too lazy to cover their mouths, I feel myself bristling.
Is anyone else suffering in silence? If anyone knows of a good remedy I can pass on to my irritable hayfever sufferering colleagues and help them to stifle their daily blows, please, please, please, offer your top tips or point out any useful websites that can help below.

I've always found steroid-based nasal inhalers to be the best solution for my hayfever. It pretty much knocks it out completely, unless I do something stupid like getting into a grass fight with my wife...

I have hayfever and have to keep sniffing due to my own body being petty about little bits of flower pollen floating in the air, which isn't my fault. Sometimes there isn't anything to blow out of my nose, so you'd just be stuck with an office of people blowing noses all to no avail, making them do it again and again and again and again until it is productive
