I always suffered from year-round allergies. It got to the point where my blocked nose was ruining my life. I ended up getting surgery done where I had some of my inferior turbines removed. It was a great decision. Being of European decent and having a big Italian nose I thought that my problem would be uncommon in Japan… according to my doctor, the surgery I had done was actually common and that there are a lot of allergy sufferers with similar symptoms as me. At any rate, I have been curious about the data included in the survey you’ve translated here ever since.

As an aside, I’m quite happy I did my surgery in Japan. It was a great experience in a weird way- I had a 10-day hospital stay during which I learned quite a bit!

Thanks for translating another interesting survey!
