You can now find everything “facial eczema” in our online portal for facial eczema reporting. This exciting online tool makes submitting, saving, and tracking your facial eczema spore counts a breeze over the summer months.

In the Lab-Portal you can:

• Submit spore counts from your region;
• Save your regular spore count locations and track the changes week-to-week and year-on-year;
• View the current facial eczema status in real-time, plus the maximum counts and average counts in your region and throughout New Zealand.
