Hay-Fever Suffers Seek Relief As Sniffle Season Nears The majority of people who suf- fer from hay fever do their sneez. ing during late July, and = August but late summer brings the season to its height. Then the air is filled with floating pollen, tormenting sensitive noses and starting o the meezes and flow of tears. Suffer- rs will feel miserable, clammy and weak all day long and clogged throats and noses often make sleep impossible during the might, Once it catches a victim, hay fe- ver often hangs on for life, % is one of the most common and ane noying of all non-fatal diseases, tending to lead to other ailments like asthma, sinus trouble and in ereased susceptibility to colds, The disease is caused by the pollen of certain trees and grasses to which many persons are allergic. There are three seasonal types of hay fev. er--spring, summer and autumn-- of which the last, by far more sere fous and widespread, stems main! from the pollen of ragweed, whi blooms in mid-August and is killed by the first frost, As victims feel their suffering time drawing near, they have a choice of only two things--take treatments or run away to find relief in areas which are said to be llen-free such as illustrated on he map, However, here are a few "don'ts" vou can remember if you want to make the best of the hay fever situation, Don't drive in an open car as the pollen will stream into your eyes and nose, Stay out of high wind or any wind, if pos sible, to escape the pollen, Avoid other allergens, like animal dowder, 'You may be ellergic to them, Avoid iced drinks, By lowering body heats they aggravate symptoms, Don't stay in front of electric fans; they also drop your temperature, Avoid over-cooling of any find, It will make your symptoms worse, Don't sleep in the raw or you'll wake up sneezing and wheezing, Go to the shore if you can, There's no pollen in the breege from the sea, Moun. Ragweed Ambrosia A--Great eifide jain air is relatively pollen-free so the hay fever sufferer will find re- lief high up in the mountain, Re- member that paint, house dust and face powder may bring on or ag- gravate symptoms, Some Symptoms Summer colds and hay fever have the same symptoms and' that is why they might easily be confused, It takes a doctor to tell the differ. ence. While the origin of common colds is unknown, there is no mys- tery as to the hay feverer's cause, It is pollen produced by blossoming flowers which travels invisible with the wind--not the heavy, sticky kind Sarre from plant to plant by The time to tackle the problem is now, before the ragweed begins to pollinate, The best way to tack le it is to tear up the offending weed whereever it grows, and to bum it. The job can be done with greatest effect in July and early August, A single plant may gener- ALL-WEATHER TRUCK TIRES DFVEAR DAVIS' TIRE SALES & SERVICE Oshawa Opposite Hotel Gonoaha 67 King St. & Eos For the hundreds of people who 40 through an annual period of sneeze, sniffle and suffering, ; [OWA ' 5% FADWARD (7 Sed ISLAND / x x, 4 places in the east located on the map are said to be pollen-'ree, Hay fever havéns mentioned are Digby and Halle fax, N.S, Prince Edward Island, Campobello, N.B,, the Gaspe Peninsula and the region around Ste, Agathe corded des Monts in the Laurentia not illustrated, is also a haven where sufferers may find relief, , Que,; areas around Ottawa, Orillia and Muskoka Lakes, Ont, Yarmouth, N.8,, ate 4,000,000,000 pollen grains dure ing a day, sometimes carried as.far as 25 miles; and the importance, therefore, of a systematic and na. tionwide eradication of the ragweed cannot be over-emphasized. Are You Allergio, It 1s estimated that between 200, 000 and 300,000 persons in Canada suffer from hay fever or asthma or both, Many of these experience only mild symptoms and do not seek medical advice, but a large majority of susceptible persons need medical attention, The term "allergy" means 'altered reaction", An individual who is in an allergic state reacts in an unusual (altered) manner when In contact with cer. tain substances which to the ordin. ary person are inocuous, Thus a person who is allergic to the pollen of grasses will develop sneezing and running of the nose and eyes dur- ing the pollination of grasses, He is sald to be "sensitized' to grass pollen, The specific substances to which susceptible persons develop an ale lergic state are usually in the nae ture of proteins contained in foods, animal hairs and dandruff, serums, plants and miscellaneous substances such as house dust, orris root, moulds as well as a few others, Oc casionally, however, drugs which contain no protein are responsible and found among these are aspirin, quinine, ipecac and arsphenamine, Medical Service Medical science has much to offer to sufferers from allergy, In the first place, by discovering the spe- cific food or other symptoms, the 17 \J B--Common Ragweed Ambrosia physician often is able to instruct the patient as to the manner in which he may avoid contact with, or exposure to, the offending sub. stance, Where this method of treat ment is possible, the results are ex- cellent, permanent and much Bn easures, Thus sneezes when she WHITBY C.
