Letter: Nose relief
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.PHILIP HUNTER (Letters, 8 May) assumes that the hay fever spectacles airshield in Business on Sunday (1 May) helps only the eyes and not the nose. I am happy to say that clinical trials carried out last December in New Zealand showed significant improvement in nasal symptoms also. It is suggested that this is because, when the tears drain into the nose in the normal way, they carry with them pollen and the products of the eye inflammation. Thus, by keeping pollen out of the eyes, the airshield brings overall relief from hay fever symptoms.
