This is such a big topic and very individual, but

This is such a big topic and very individual, but we hope that the information shared can be a launching pad to to your own research!

Have you used vitamin C for hay fever, allergies, or histamine issues? Your experience in the comments is so helpful for our community ❤️.

Noticing your child seems a little more emotional,

Noticing your child seems a little more emotional, reactive, or sensitive during high pollen season?

If Part One (just back on the grid) made you wonder about pollen, histamine, and behaviour… but your child doesn’t have the classic runny nose or itchy eyes, this is for you.

Histamine sensitivity doesn’t always look like obvious allergies.

Because histamine also acts as a neurotransmitter, some children may experience it more through the nervous system than through typical hay fever symptoms.

This can sometimes look like:

• More emotional ups and downs
• Poorer sleep
• Increased irritability or overwhelm
• More sensory sensitivity
• Difficulty focusing
• Seasonal skin, tummy, or behaviour shifts

This doesn’t mean histamine is definitely the cause, but it can be a helpful clue.

The key is often patterns:
Do things seem worse during high pollen days, after outdoor play, or certain seasons?

Are you noticing your child having more emotional

Are you noticing your child having more emotional ups and downs lately…
struggling to focus…
or seeming more sensitive than usual?

At this time of year in the UK, there can be a reason that isn’t always obvious.

From March to May, tree pollen peaks.
Then from May to July, grass pollen rises, this is the biggest trigger for most people.

More pollen = more immune activity
More immune activity = more histamine released in the body

And this is where it gets interesting…

Histamine isn’t just involved in allergies.
It’s also a neurotransmitter, meaning it directly affects how the brain functions.

So when histamine levels rise, it doesn’t just look like hay fever.

It can look like behaviour.

• More emotional reactivity
• Lower frustration tolerance
• Poorer focus
• Feeling mentally “busy”
• Increased sensory sensitivity
• Sleep struggles

This is because the nervous system can become more “on edge”, shifting slightly into a fight or flight state, where calm is harder to access.

So it’s not “just behaviour”
It can be a reflection of what’s happening underneath, a body that’s slightly inflamed and more alert.

You may also notice the more obvious signs alongside this, runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, unsettled sleep.

From a supportive point of view, simple things can help:
• Getting outside earlier in the day when pollen is lower
• Rinsing hands and face after being outdoors
• Keeping windows closed on high pollen days
• Supporting the body nutritionally

Vitamin C is particularly interesting here.
It’s involved in how the body breaks down histamine, and studies have shown lower vitamin C levels are linked with higher histamine levels.

It’s not a cure-all, but it can be a really supportive nutrient, especially during times like pollen season.

And just to say, every child is different.
Not all children will be affected, and for some, symptoms can be more complex.

But if you’ve been noticing changes recently…
it might be worth considering what’s in the air, not just what’s in front of you

Little ways I support myself in this season! For

Little ways I support myself in this season!

For my skin, I apply the vitamin C directly to my face at night and sleep in it, it’s become part of my routine and my skin always feels so hydrated by morning.

For hair, I use it as a pre-wash mask, just apply through the lengths before washing and leave on for a minimum of 5minutes with no maximum.
Sometimes I switch to the multi too for the hair mask, as it contains zinc and biotin, but the vitamin C works beautifully- both work great.

Nothing complicated, just small foundations that help me keep going!!
