Hay fever, artwork
Hay fever. Artwork depicting hay fever showing pollen grains (yellow-blue) entering the nasal cavity (right) of a hay fever sufferer. Pollen grains are released when flowering plants reproduce. Some people become sensitised to pollen in the air, and have an allergic reaction (rhinitis, or pollinosis) whenever they are in contact with it. The symptoms of an attack include inflamed, streaming eyes and a running, blocked nose. The symptoms are caused by a massive release of the chemical histamine in the body in response to the pollen. Drugs which block the action of histamine are of some use in controlling the symptoms

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Hay Fever" by Claus Lunau beautifully captures the intricate process of pollen entering the nasal cavity of a hay fever sufferer. The print showcases yellow-blue pollen grains, released during plant reproduction, making their way into the respiratory system of an individual with allergies. The image highlights how some people become sensitized to airborne pollen, triggering an allergic reaction known as rhinitis or pollinosis. As depicted in this artwork, symptoms include inflamed and streaming eyes along with a running and blocked nose. These discomforting effects are caused by a significant release of histamine in response to the presence of pollen. Lunau's illustration not only portrays the physiological aspects but also emphasizes the botanical connection between plants and humans. The black background adds depth to this thought-provoking piece while drawing attention to the central focus - a female profile experiencing hay fever symptoms. By shedding light on this common condition, "Hay Fever" serves as a reminder that our immune systems can sometimes react adversely to natural elements like pollen. This print is both visually striking and informative, offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate nature's complexities while empathizing with those affected by hay fever.
