Pollen season is here: be vigilant for thunderstorm asthma
Patients can monitor forecasts via websites and apps, authorities say
GPs and people with allergies and asthma are being warned that high grass pollen levels are forecast this spring, and they need to be aware of the possibility of thunderstorm asthma events.
In Victoria, thunderstorm asthma forecasts will be available from Monday on the VicEmergency app and website and will run until the end of the year, health authorities say.
