Hay fever victims blame wrong plant PCDBLPSDHABS Many hay fever sufferers spend the last months of summer trying to avoid the ragweed plant that causes their discomfort, but many have been avoiding the wrong plant. "Many people confuse rag- weed and goldenrod because they flower at the same time - early August to late Sept- . ember," says Dr. Jack Alex, environmental biologist at the University of Guelph. "Only ragweed causes hay fever." Unlike the bright yellow flowers of goldenrod, rag- weed blooms are inconspic- --tious spikes of tiny green flowers. Common ragweed is characterized by finely divided green leaves. Giant ragweed can reach heights of 3 to 3.5 metres (10 to 12 feet) with leaves 25 to 30 DEALERS WANTED! centimetres (10 to 12 in.) wide. "Ragweed pollen is made up of protein and it is the particular protein not the size of the pollen grain that causes hay fever," says Dr. Alex. 'Goldenrod pollen has a different type of protein in its heavy pollen. This prot- ein affects only a very min- ute proportion of the popula- tion and then only by direct contact." The protein in ragweed affects a large percentage of the population. Even in the Muskoka region where rag- weed is rare, residents may still suffer from the familiar hay fever symptoms - wat- ery eyes and sneezing. "Ragweed pollen can travel hundreds of miles on the wind," says Dr. Alex. "The only safe areas in the KINGSFORD INDUSTRIES 482 Commissioners Hoad East London. Ontario N6C 2T8 PHONE (519) 681-8593 province for hay fever suff- erers are in Northern Ontar- io." The urban areas of the province, particularly in southern Ontario, are the worst areas .for hay fever victims. The weed is commonly found in cultivat- ed fields, fence lines, waste areas, vacant lots, and along stream-banks and the edges of woodlands. Ragweed pro- duces new flowers and pollen even after harvest time. For those who suffer from the discomforts of hay fever, an escape vacation to north- ern Ontario in later summer will provide relief. If this is impractical, an air condit- ioner which screens out pollen may help. Severe discomfort should be treated by a physician. To help others, eliminate the ragweed plants on your property. Don't worry about goldenrod - in England it is considered an attractive garden flower. 200 Lined or Unlined REFILL PAPER Reg. 2.65 99¢ STENO BOOK Reg. 1.18 99¢ Coil EXERCISE BOOKS Reg. 1.90 $1.38 Reg. 1.39 HILROY BINDERS Reg. 3.59 $2.61 LAURENTIAN MARKERS 20's-reg. 4.25 .... 12's-reg. 2.59 .... 8's-reg. 1.79 $2.79 $1.79 $1.16 Denim PENCIL CASES Reg. 1.65 $1.25 "Prices Effective Wed., August 20th to Wed., September 3rd, 1980.
