Scientists have described the growing number of Kiwis living with allergies as an epidemic. For some Kiwis allergies are life threatening. For other Kiwis, symptoms such as rhinitis, irritated eyes, skin rash, and asthma, can really kill the vibe of a spring picnic, bushwalk, beach day, or a day in the garden. Kiwis love the outdoors, but unfortunately this exposes us to common allergens such as pollens, pollution, dust, smoke, and animals. Our homes also contain common allergens such as dust mites, mould spores and animal hair
Don’t let allergies stop you from living your best life.
Take control of your allergies with AllerAid.
AllerAid helps everyone become more aware of the harmful health effects of allergens, pollution, and poor air quality. These environmental hazards may contribute to respiratory issues, asthma, blood pressure problems, and cardiovascular conditions.

Whether you’re mowing the lawns, walking the dog on a windy day, or doing an epic outdoor adventure, knowing what’s in the air is vital. In spring, summer and autumn New Zealand air is thick with pollen from many trees, grasses, and mould spores. In winter our air is thick with smoke when wood and coal is burned for heating. Urban areas are impacted by pollution from cars, road works, construction, and industrial processes.
AllerAid gives you real-time updates on air quality, weather conditions, pollution hotspots, and local environmental allergens. This includes pollen counts and identification of specific trees and grasses which is vital info for the thousands of Kiwis who suffer from hay fever. With AllerAid stay updated in real-time on:
❖Local Air Quality Index (AQI)
❖ Seasonal pollution trends like winter smog
❖ Localized air quality issues such as smoke and dust
❖ Pollen counts
❖ Weather conditions
Breathe easy with AllerAid and personalise your strategy to manage allergy in New Zealand’s great outdoors.
Kiwis love their homes; however, unfortunately indoor environments can also contain harmful allergens. Dust-mites, moulds, and pets are the most common triggers for people with asthma and allergic rhinitis. These allergens thrive in humid, damp, moderate temperatures with poor ventilation, issues which plague many New Zealand homes. According to New Zealand Health Survey 2017/18 one in eight adults (12.5%) and one in seven children (14.3%) have asthma.2 For these people simple household chores such as vacuuming and cleaning can trigger serious allergic reactions.
