Have you ever thought about what pollen grains look like? Even though it is our common enemy, it can still be utterly fascinating. Under the microscope, they reveal their true nature and incredible forms. Happy Thursday

Hi everybody While we can rejoice that the grass pollen season is fading, there is still one last hurdle we must overcome together. Ragweed has just made its presence felt on Danish pollen counters. This weed grows on fallow fields, along the road and in the forest. It normally reaches its peak pollination around the start of August, so be alert. There are several strands of this troublesome weed and one by the name of Ambrosia artemisiifolia triggers hay fever so badly that it is recommended by Asthma Allergy Denmark that you pick, store and subsequently burn it where ever you find it! Have a nice pollen free weekend wishes from Rhinix.

Hi everyone We would like to share some interesting statistics from the Danish “apothecary organisation” The Danish people use twice as much medication counteracting hay fever and other allergies than twenty years ago. In 2015, 100 million doses of anti-allergy medication was used. That's an average of 18 doses per citizen every day. It’s wonderful that people can be helped in this way, but we hope to turn this trend around by giving preventive relief without chemicals and their side effects with the use of Rhinix. #Rhinix #Pollenfree #NoChemicals

Hi everyone Just a small reminder that you can find tips and tricks as well as answers to frequently asked questions in the note section on our Facebook page. Enjoy the rest of your day :)

Hi all Grass allergy season is long - luckily, in Europe, it peaks toward the end of June. Lets hope that less pollen-filled times are ahead. A fun fact about pollen level records to keep you going: In Denmark, the highest recorded level was found in 2014 in Copenhagen with 325 pollens/m3. - Unlike many other records, this is one that we don't want to see broken. Enjoy your summer.

Hay fever season is upon us, its dreary nature is however easily out shined by the many amazing festivals! :P In Denmark, North Side festival kicks off today followed by Roskilde and many others! We obviously hope you all have wonderful weather for your festivities. - And as your Mom would say: "Don't forget to bring your Rhinix my dear". Good vibes and summer spirit to you all.

Hi everyone :) Here is a small update on what Rhinix is currently involved in. We are examining whether Rhinix nasal filters can be used in other contexts than hay fever. We are for example testing whether our membranes can be used by industry to spare workers from different particles. We are very excited about possibly being able to increase the quality of life for even more people. Have a nice day :)

We stumbled upon this practical invention: This japanese inventor tried to get "ahead" of the hay fever symptoms. We wonder if he was able to "cap"italize on his idea? We took it a few important steps further if you "nose" what I mean. We made Rhinix! Lovely day to all of you :)

Hi Shiny People :) What wonderful weather we have had here in Denmark for the last several days. However, this lovely summer weather has also brought with it a pollen count for grass as high as 296! Fortunately, we have sent a bunch of filters out, so the hay fever symptoms won’t destroy the good mood. We hope to reach even more people with our aid and to contribute to a pollen free summer, so feel free to share your Rhinix experiences with your family and friends. Happy Summer Vibes Rhinix

Stay updated throughout the pollen season! Every afternoon, daily pollen counts are released. This indicates how much pollen is in the air that day. HOWEVER, We have experienced that many individuals forget to check the pollen counts daily. Therefore, to make the process of preparation easier, we would like to advise everyone to use a smartphone app which includes an “Allergy Alert”, that notifies you about the pollen number automatically. For Danish people we recommend Asthma Allergy Denmark’s app “pollental”. This helps you know in advance when you should equip yourself with Rhinix and stay symptom free. This advice obviously doesn’t cover the whole world, so if anyone has recommendations for their local area, please feel free to share them in the comments below :)

How to measure pollen: What is a pollen count exactly, and how is it even possible to measure these tiny grains? The pollen count tells us how many grains were to be found in a certain amount of air during a set period of time. To collect a sample of pollen floating in the air, a plastic rod is covered with a greasy substance - commonly known as a pollen-trap. The trap spins in the air at a controlled speed over a 24-hour period. After that, a specialist studies the surface of the trap under a microscope. The particles, which have gathered on the surface, are then identified by size and shape in order to determine the types of pollen. A formula is then used to calculate the daily particle count. This long-winded process is – so far – the only way of getting to that exact pollen count, which so many people rely on. We have yet to create the right technology that is sensitive enough to distinguish the types of pollen from each other automatically.
