Watch out for woolies!

According to scientists at the University of Sydney, wearing woollen sweaters may make you feel cosy, but, compared with cotton clothing, they may trap allergens and trigger allergy symptoms.

In fact, you run the risk of exposing yourself to dust mites and cat allergens by at least 10 times! So, if you can’t shake a persistently runny nose, switch to cotton or polar fleece jumpers, with lots of thin layers underneath.
