Allergies are not far behind
Slogan winner
Lucille E. Smith is the Safety
Slogan Winner at the Burlington
Industries Raeford Plant for the
June Quarter of 1984. For her
Safety Slogan, Lucille will receive
a $25 gift certificate towards a pur
chase in the Burlington Industries
Employee Store, and reserved
parking for a month. The slogan
is: "Let Spring Daze Be Safety
Days"
Winter is gone, spring is here.
Months of seclusion are but a
memory. Soft, warm breezes waft
through the branches of trees --
coaxing a new crop of miniature
buds to burst forth and do their
"thing." And part of their
"thing" will be to spread misery to
at least 20Vo of the American
population in the form of pollen.
You can spot an allergy sufferer
straight away. He is the person
with a handkerchief or Kleenex;
swollen, red eyes; stuffy nose --
constantly dripping -- and likely as
not, dark circles beneath the eyes.
Pity the allergy sufferer when
you meet him, for he is one of a
vast throng of people whose bodies
respond abnormally to such ir
ritants from the outside world as
mold spores, tree and plant pollen.
While most of us welcome the
spring and summer months,
allergy victims wheeze and sneeze
until the first frost.
It all begins about the first of
April when hardwood trees begin
to pollenate. But for those allergic
to mold spores and house dust, the
problem is perennial. Mold grows
on rotting wood and in the soil, ac
cording to Dr. Lyndon Jordan, a
Smithfield family physician.
It reproduces by releasing a
spore that travels on the air. It is
worse during a rainy season such
as we have had lately. Mold spores
afflict much the same as pollens --
watery eyes and sneezing --
especially when the air is damp.
Dr. Jordan says pine pollen is
falsely accused as an allergen. He
pointed out that people who suffer
from tree pollen are actually being
victimized by pollen from oak,
sycamore, poplar, walnut, pecan
and hickory. He said pine pollen
often gets blamed because it
pollenates at about the same time
as do the hardwoods -- the real
culprits.
Anyway, all this lasts some six
weeks. But does the allergy suf
ferer enjoy a respite from the
devilish pollens? They should be so
lucky; for now it is time for the
grasses to pollenate.
Offending grasses include such
varieties as Bermuda, Johnson,
blue, fescue, red top and timothy.
These grasses also pollenate for
about six weeks -- except for Ber
muda and Johnson which go on
until frost.
