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.  🙂
