The current issue of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Research examines the results of a study conducted to determine whether taking one grass pollen tablet every day can alleviate hay fever and asthma in children. The results appear to be promising. Using this treatment, asthma symptoms declined by 64% and hay fever symptoms declined by 24%.

The study was conducted by a team of medical experts in Germany. The study featured over 250 children. The positive results are important because experts estimate that up to 25% of the population in western industrial countries has hay fever. Untreated hay fever in children also can cause children to develop asthma later in life.
