Hay fever is a common allergic condition that affects up to one in five people at some point in their life. Symptoms of hay fever include: sneezing. a runny nose. itchy eyes. You'll experience hay fever symptoms if you have an allergic reaction to pollen. Pollen is a fine powder released by plants as part of their reproductive cycle.

Harrington Forestry Research Center, lays out a plot at an experiment site on Deer Lake Mesa in Hay also might not be in the best shape, could be moldy or old. Guinea pigs are also known as stubborn creatures ( not all of them but some ) so maybe you have one "spoiled little pig" that won't eat hay. It might also happen that your guinea pig has some health problems such as dental issues so he feels pain while chewing on hay.

Even if the outer edge of a bale has faded from sun exposure and rain, the inside should still be green. Use your nose as well as your eyes.

Actually, the question has to do with where to put to and not when using the infinitive form of any verb. Adam asks in particular about to not seek and not to take, but nearly any combination of infinitive and not would be possible. English teachers sometimes say that one should never "split" an infinitive - that is, put a word typically an adverb between the particle to and the verb form itself. So, for example, instead of To boldly go where no man has gone before. such a teacher would prefer To go boldly where no man has gone before. It turns out that the real rule is a question of clarity and style and not grammar. It's not wrong either way, but if one construction makes your sentence more clear or more emphatic, then you can use it. In the above example, to boldly go seems more urgent and may convey exactly the right idea to others. But both examples are grammatically correct. However, the form that does not "split" the infinitive is much more common in print, and using this form not to be; to go boldly; not to take will work in almost every circumstance. Here are just a couple more examples so you can see both kinds of construction Our parents told us to drive safely, to not stay out too late. My cousin visited for dinner but decided not to stay overnight. It's very hard to not think about the future. I try not to think about how hard I'll have to work.

Updated / Friday, 9 Jun 2023 1133 Hay fever suffers, be warned this weekend is allegedly one of the worst for pollen count, bringing with it puffy, runny eyes, sneezing and blocked noses for those of us that struggle with seasonal allergies. Pollen is likely to spike this weekend as many people are making the most of the sunny weather and cutting their grass, sending pollen spores flying through the air, stirred up by the wind. Ruth Morrow, respiratory nurse with the Asthma Society, joined Drivetime to talk about tips for managing hay fever as the balmy summer continues. Getty Images Hay fever can still go undiagnosed despite the symptoms being bothersome and sometimes quite severe. Morrow said that people should be on the alert for signs of allergies like sneezing and itchy, blocked, or runny noses, which are the most common symptoms. Red, itchy, and watery eyes are also a common sign, as well as an itchy throat, inner ear or mouth and post nasal drip, where you have a drip of fluid down the back of the throat. "Headaches can be a problem with it also because of the blocked sinus area, and as a result, you can get reduced concentration levels and just a general feeling of feeling unwell", Morrow said. "Very problematic if you're an exam student this time of year if they're suffering like this." "Not everyone has to have all of these symptoms, they can have a mixture of them", she added, saying that it's best to speak to a healthcare professional if you think you might have hay fever. When it comes to managing hay fever and avoiding too much contact with pollen, Morrow suggests keeping windows closed, especially at night when the pollen count is high. "It is okay to open your windows early in the morning, let the air circulate through your house but close them, I'd say, around 12 o'clock, certainly don't have them open later on in the afternoon." Getty Images The Asthma Society has an app to help you monitor the pollen throughout the day, to be able to plan for your day and "minimise the time that you actually spend outside when the pollen count is high". If you have spent time outdoors, shower once you're indoors to wash off the pollen. When outdoors, wearing wrap-around sunglasses can help shield you from pollen. "Put some Vaseline around the nostrils and that will trap it and stop it going up into the sinus area", Morrow suggests. Drying clothes outside in sunny weather is ideal this time of year, but if you suffer from hay fever be sure to give them a shake before you bring them in, and "don't put bed sheets straight onto the bed directly when you do bring them in because you'll end up getting into bed and inhaling that pollen and you're awake at night sneezing and coughing". Exercising in the morning time can be helpful for those of us who want to get out of the house, and try to avoid exercising in areas where there's freshly cut grass.

Every day I see patients in my clinic at their wits’ end with the symptoms of this seasonal allergy. One patient recently described hay fever as something that “sucks all the joy out of my summer”.A common misconception is that hay fever only develops in childhood, but hay fever can in fact develop at any age. It affects one in four adults and one in ten children, according to latest data from the Met Office. Sadly, the number of hay fever sufferers is increasing year on year, and while we don’t fully understand the reasons why, the rise has been linked to environmental factors such as climate change and rising and my colleagues have certainly seen an increase in the number of people seeking medical advice due to severe symptoms of hay fever which are making them feel miserable and affecting their home, work and social alerts are warning of an imminent “pollen bomb” hitting certain parts of the UK. This isn’t a medical term but describes very high levels of pollen which can make symptoms worse in those already are different types of pollen grains and people can be allergic to one or a number of them. Pollen can trigger an allergic reaction where the immune system becomes activated to mount a response in order to fight off this perceived of hay fever are wide ranging and can include sneezing, a runny nose, congestion, sore throat, itchy streaming eyes and a dry cough. In some cases it can trigger headaches and rashes. It is important that anyone with chronic lung conditions, especially asthma or COPD, be more vigilant as hay fever can cause shortness of breath and wheezing. If you have these conditions, ensure you have your regular inhalers with you at all ArticleThe symptoms listed are the result of a sharp and sudden rise in a chemical called histamine which is produced by the immune system as it fights to destroy the pollen, and so the mainstay of treatment is to try to dampen this response by taking antihistamines. I always advise my patients who suffer from hay fever to start their antihistamines a few weeks before the higher pollen season begins in February and continue it daily until the season ends around are readily available at the pharmacy and in many supermarkets, but if you have tried a few and not had any relief, then its best to speak to your GP. Similarly for the congestion and upper respiratory symptoms, intranasal steroid sprays are very effective. These are available from your pharmacy or there are several private clinics and online companies who are promoting the use of “hay fever injections” which are not recommended for hay fever because of the lack of evidence to support their long-term use. People are being sold these, often at ridiculous prices, and I urge caution to those who may be steroids and other hay fever treatments have not worked, then your GP may refer you for immunotherapy. This involves injecting small amounts of pollen to slowly build up immunity to is important that the power of lifestyle changes is not underestimated. Simple things to stop pollen entering the body can make a huge difference to symptoms, such as checking the Met Office pollen forecast before going out to avoid peak pollen times, keeping windows closed during the morning until early evening, putting Vaseline around your nostrils to trap the pollen, wearing wraparound sunglasses to stop pollen getting into the eyes, and always changing out of outdoor clothes when home and showering immediately to wash the pollen off. The next few days will be very warm and the pollen counts will be very high, so keep yourself as protected as you can. There’s lots of different treatments we can try, so call your GP if you are Punam Krishan is an NHS GP in Glasgow, medical educator and director of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine 1 Hi I would always say "not to have" instead of "to not have". However, in the following text happens the opposite “if a text element or chart is the highest priority, it is important to not have images of people looking in the opposite direction from those elements.” Why does it say "to not have"? Thanks. 2 No particular reason. "Not to have" sounds better to me, as well. But "to not have" is also possible. No difference in meaning. Also, as I'm sure you know, traditional, old-fashioned grammarians don't like to split infinitives in English. 3 No particular reason. "Not to have" sounds better to me, as well.

However, in the following text happens the opposite “if a text element or chart is the highest priority, it is important to not have images of people looking in the opposite direction from those elements.” Why does it say "to not have"? Thanks. "To" marks the infinitive, but it's not really part of or attached to the infinitive, so the "to-infinitive" can be split. In your sentence, two things happen when you split "to have." One, sometimes there is a tendency to put the adverb of negation before the stressed verb, in this case "have" not have. Two, this "to" is similar to a "that" structure, in that both introduce a clause; as a result, "to" and "that" appear at the front of the clause that modifies "important" it is important to not have images of people looking in the opposite direction ~ it is important that we do not have images of people looking in the opposite direction. Notice that in the "that-clause," "not" also appears in front of "have." Also, in "to not have," "to" shows greater affinity with the preposition "to" that means "intent/goal." But these things are rather subjective. When there is no change in the basic meaning of the sentence, the choice of "not to have" or "to not have" is a question of style rather than grammar or syntax. it's perfectly valid to go with "not to have" to keep "to" and "have" together, or because it simply sounds better.

Pretty clear. 6 Hi, I reopen this discussion because I want to know for which reason you all have not discussed the possibility of putting the auxiliar "do" in the sentence of evoj2. For what I know the expression of possession with the "do have" is by far the most common and thus, even if I also feel that the "do" is hardly usable in the sentence of evoj2, I would like if someone explain to me why don't use the "do not have" form. For example, I could write "...it is important to do not have images of people...". Would it work? 7 Hi, I reopen this discussion because I want to know for which reason you all have not discussed the possibility of putting the auxiliar "do" in the sentence of evoj2.

To be or not to be To be or do not to be Thank you!! 9 it is important to not have images of people looking in the opposite direction ~ it is important that we do not have images of people looking in the opposite direction. Actually do is out of place here. A. It is important to not have ... = "Es importante no tener ..." B. It is important that we not have ... = "Es importante que no tengamos ..." C. It is important that we do not have ... = "Es importante que no tenemos ..." A with the infinitive ~ B with subjunctive, but C with indicative has very a different meaning. 10 Actually do is out of place here. A. It is important to not have ... = "Es importante no tener ..." B. It is important that we not have ... = "Es importante que no tengamos ..." C. It is important that we do not have ... = "Es importante que no tenemos ..." A with the infinitive ~ B with subjunctive, but C with indicative has very a different meaning. I think that the sentence A has a very general meaning it would be like to say that in general something is important. On the other hand, it seems to me that in the sentence B the verb stretches out into the future I would use it to tell that in order to reach an aim it's important that something has or not something else... The sentence C would indicate a quality of something, thus the verb in this case would strech into the past I would use it to tell that it's important that something has or not a certain feature. For example, if I say "it's important that we not have troubles" sentence B, I mean that if we not have troubles we can reach our aim. If I say "it's important that we don't have troubles" sentence C, I mean that it's good that so far we have not had troubles. Finally, if I say "it's important to not have troubles" sentence A, I would mean that, in general, it's good to not have troubles, and this sentence could be employed in both former situations. I'm also studying spanish and I believe that the same goes for it. But this line of reasoning it's something mine, and I'm note sure of it to be correct. Is it? 11 Actually do is out of place here. A. It is important to not have ... = "Es importante no tener ..." B. It is important that we not have ... = "Es importante que no tengamos ..." C. It is important that we do not have ... = "Es importante que no tenemos ..." A with the infinitive ~ B with subjunctive, but C with indicative has very a different meaning. I see B and C in English to mean the same thing, C being more emphatic and colloquial "It's important that we don't have..." The phrase in Spanish with the indicative also sounds weird. I would have said Lo importante es que no tenemos... However, in the context "...it is important to do not have images of people..." the subjuntive would be the only option Es importante que no haya/que no tengamos fotos de personas... 12 the subjuntive would be the only option Yes, especially since that's is the proper context for the subjunctive. 13 Hi, I reopen this discussion because I want to know for which reason you all have not discussed the possibility of putting the auxiliar "do" in the sentence of evoj2.

For example, I could write "...it is important to do not have images of people...". Would it work? That would not work. The auxiliary verb do, used for emphasis or negation, is defective. It has no nonfinite forms. In U. S. English, this also means that it has no present subjunctive form. I see B and C in English to mean the same thing, C being more emphatic and colloquial "It's important that we don't have..." British English uses indicative where U. S. English uses subjunctive, which creates ambiguity by making, for example, "It is important that he does his homework on time" sometimes mean the same as "It is important that he do his homework on time." Does colloquial Canadian English do the same thing, or is this do some sort of emphatic subjunctive? In other words, would you ever say "It's important that he don't have ..."? 14 In other words, would you ever say "It's important that he don't have ..."? I certainly would not, but that sounds like how some people from my region talk especially older folks. I'm not so sure that "It is important that he do his homework on time" is the most colloquial way to say it in the States, either. People tend to eschew the subjuntive in English everywhere. I hear "If I was..." very often from shows and movies from the US. Last edited Dec 6, 2021 15 I'm not so sure that "It is important that he do his homework on time" is the most colloquial way to say it in the States, either. I agree. "It's important for him to do his homework on time" would be probably be most common. Present subjunctive is even less used than past which many people still do continue to use intuitively in condition-contrary-to-face contexts. 16 "It's important for him to do his homework on time" would be probably be most common Yes! I was sure that there was another common way of saying it that my brain wasn't offering me... 17 which many people still do continue to use intuitively in condition-contrary-to-face contexts. Oops, that should be "condition-contrary-to-fact", sorry. Appears that the ability to edit a post disappears after a while? 18 Appears that the ability to edit a post disappears after a while? I guess so, maybe you can ask to a moderator there is the the key "report" on the left bottom, it may be there for that reason... The words "to not learn" in this context constitute something called a "split infinitive" - that is, the words of the infinitive "to learn" have been separated sorry, Barrie, I disagree with you on this. Traditionally, people were taught to avoid split infinitives; but sometimes, it's more natural to split an infinitive than not to. That is, split infinitives are no longer considered a grammatical error. In this particular case though, it's easy to avoid splitting the infinitive - just write "not to learn". There's no reason to write "to not learn", and it's better and cleaner to write "not to learn".
