Allergies & Hay Fever. Don’t you HATE it?

Hay Fever strikes with virulence when the air is heavy with ragweed pollen at summer’s end. Here are some ways to evade the invisible pollen:

  • Sleep Late. Pollen is borne aloft by rising air currents in the morning.
  • Don’t exert yourself. The heavy breathing from exercise causes you to pump pollen into your system.
  • Beware of swimming pools. Pollen gather on the water’s surface where it is easily taken into a swimmer’s eyes and nose.

Suggestions:

  • Wear protective goggles and nose plugs.
  • Mix a mild solution of salt water to dash in your nose several times each day during the hay fever season. It washes away collected pollen.
  • Two inhalant preventive drugs: Cromolyn sodium and beclomethasone. Relief for those who have hay fever comes from antihistamines.

This is nothing to Sneeze at.  🙂
