There's an old folk remedy that putting petroleum jelly around your nostrils helps hayfever, by absorbing pollen, I imagine that could be what's happening here.

Maybe the tube drivers should strike too then?
First I've heard of it.
lets see:
"The drivers have not had a pay increase for five years and first balloted for strike action in June 2022.
Aslef general secretary Mick Whelan said: “Since then train drivers have voted, again and again, to take action to get a pay rise.
“It is now a year since we sat in a room with the train companies – and a year since we rejected the risible offer they made which they admitted, privately, was designed to be rejected.”
Strikes will take place on Tuesday May 7 and Thursday May 9. An overtime ban runs from May 6-11.
The drivers have held 14 days of strike action since the dispute began.
The government will use taxpayers’ money to compensate operators for lost profits."
