AS THE WEATHER WARMS, TREES COME TO LIFE AND FLOWERS BLOOM. Life is good, but not if you're one of the more than 35 million people in the United States who suffer from hay fever or allergies! Symptoms can be mild or severe butlet's face ityou're not exactly feeling your personal best.
A sneezy, runny nose can be distracting. Nasal congestion causing loss of taste or smell can keep you from enjoying meals. Constant throatclearing due to postnasal drip can be socially unnerving. Itchy eyes, throat and ears mean pure torment. What to do?
Fortunately, you can take action! The first line of defense is to identify the causative agents. Responsible allergens can include tree, grass or weed pollen, animal dander, dust or dust mites, and even various molds. Undergoing allergy testing can help identify the culprits. |
