This Bug Could Help Protect Millions Of People From Hay Fever

If your love of the great outdoors is often blighted by itchy eyes and a runny nose, you might be interested to meet a hungry little bug known as the leaf

If your love of the great outdoors is often blighted by itchy eyes and a runny nose, you might be interested to meet a hungry little bug known as the leaf beetle. Though smaller than an apple seed, new research has shown that introducing these beetles into the wild could be the key to easing hay fever symptoms for millions of people.

Hay fever is caused by your immune system’s overzealous reaction to the pollen of plants. Different people can experience allergic reactions to different types of pollen, including grass pollens (often between May and July), tree pollen (February to June), and weed pollen (June to September).

Of pollens great and small, however, one of the worst offenders stems from a pesky plant known as the common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), accounting for the main source of hay fever for at least 13.5 million people in Europe alone. Originally native to the Americas, the plant has recently colonized up to 30 countries across the world and its spread is only set to increase with rising temperatures caused by climate change. But a new study has offered a solution to ease this pollen-heavy weed.
