Got Toxic Fat??

“There’s a reason you had to make multiple trips to the drugstore for allergy medications and generally couldn’t stop sneezing last spring.

A combination of climate change and weather patterns in many parts of the country caused trees that would ordinarily bloom over the course of a month to pollinate all at once, allergists say.

But while you may have had it bad, it probably could have been worse–unless you’re a resident of Lexington, Ky., ranked the most challenging place to live with spring allergies by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America’s report due out this week.

Coming in a close second and third were Greensboro, N.C., and Johnson City, Tenn., followed by August, Ga., Jackson, Miss., and Knoxville, Tenn.

A not-for-profit organization that provides information, support and community-based services, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation culled 2007 data and ranked cities on three factors: pollen counts, medication usage by allergy patients and the number of board-certified allergists per patient.

Down And Out

It’s estimated that allergies affect more than 50 million people in the U.S., accounting for more than 14 million doctors’ visits and causing an estimated 100 million days of lost work each year, according to Schering-Plough, makers of allergy medicines Claritin and Nasonex.

No area appears to be hit as consistently hard by spring allergies as the Southeast, where pollen-producing oak, maple and elm trees are common and the open environment makes it easy for lightweight, airborne spores to travel, says Angel Waldron, a spokeswoman for the Asthma and Allergy Foundation.

In addition to last spring’s super-burst of pollen, the region’s high relative humidity provides the perfect environment for dust mites and cockroaches. Their droppings trigger perennial allergies.”

Allergy and sinus problems can turn into infections if not treated.  One of the best ways I have found to prevent allergy and sinus problems, is to have a stronger immune system responce by cleansing regularly.
