Today, the cold winter is gradually ending and spring is almost here.
Happy?
No!
Because Japan is in the throes of hay fever this time of year!
花粉症（かふんしょう）/ Kafun-shou / Hay fever
It is a difficult season for us because so many Japanese people suffer from hay fever.
Japan has a lot of pollen.
Today let’s learn some Japanese about hay fever symptoms!
Sneezing
くしゃみ / Kushami / Sneezing
When sneezing, hold your mouth with a handkerchief.
くしゃみをする時は、ハンカチで口を押さえよう。
くしゃみ を する とき は、はんかち で くち を おさえよう。
Kushami wo suru toki wa, hankachi de kuchi wo osaeyou.
*口（くち）/ Kuchi / Month
Stuffy nose
鼻づまり(はなづまり) / Hanazumari / Stuffy nose
I have a very stuffy nose and I can’t breathe.
鼻づまりがひどくて息ができない
はなづまり が ひどくて いき が できない
Hanazumari ga hidokute iki ga dekinai
*息（いき）/ Iki / Breathe
Runny nose
鼻水(はなみず) / Hanamizu / Runny nose
I have a runny nose.
鼻水が出る
はなみず が でる
Hanamizu ga deru
Itchy eyes
目が痒い(めがかゆい) / Me ga kayui / Itchy eyes
Even your eyes itch, don’t scratch them too much.

Those are the four main symptoms!
People who have severe cases seem to cause rough skin and sore throats.
I do not have hay fever, but I really feel sorry for people with hay fever.
I know many foreigners who are fine in their own countries but develop hay fever when they come to Japan!
Please be careful! (Though there’s no way to be careful)
