More science coming a-choo.

It’s allergy season. Dr Cat and Kira Hughes clear the air about what causes those sneezes, wheezes, and itchy reactions. A researcher at the NeuroAllergy Research Laboratory at Deakin University, Kira breezes through the science behind hay fever and thunderstorm asthma. Pollen may turn you into a sneeze machine, thunderstorm asthma may catch you off guard, or mosquitoes may turn your blood into their personal snack…these may bug you, but Dr Cat and Kira will help put a spring in your step as you go about spring.

This episode originally aired 12th November, 2024.
