HEALTH
A BLACK PERSPECTIVE
Allergies
By now most of us already know
that this is one of the worst allergy
seasons - spring. We recognize this
not only because the weather is
warmer but because of the in
creased number of runny noses,
watery itching eyes, etc.
There are several types of aller
gies. There are allergic reactions
to medications, foods, dye, per
fume, dust, pollen, etc. Some of us
are much more sensitive to some
of these. Because of our sensitivity
to them, we are bothered with
various symptoms when in direct
contact with them.

portant such as hey fever. This is
caused by sensitivity to certain
substances - most commonly pol
lens and spores of molds. Pollen is
the fertilizing element of flowering
plants. It is a fine dust easily
airborne, that enters the body by
inhalation. Mold is a fungus that
grows on animal and vegetable
matter. The spores of mold are
dust-like reproductive units that
are also present in the air we
breathe.
The amount of pollen in the air
varies with the season and geo
graphic area. Many hay fever
sufferers are very reactive to the
spring pollens from grasses and
trees; others have a peak between
mid August and mid September.
Allergies should be recognized
as more than a mere nuisance.

They cause lack of sleep, loss of
appetite, lowered body resistance,
etc. - and many sufferers develop
asthma.
These allergies can be relieved,
although not cured by antihis
tamines and other medications. A
series of preventive injections (de
sensitization) may be recom
mended in advance to the season.
It is always helpful to try and avoid
areas where these annoying agents
may be found more often.
