Health Tips: Allergy Season Prep

 


Allergy season is the time when seasonal allergens such as pollen, dust, and mold spores are at their peak. This can cause symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes, which can make it difficult to enjoy the outdoors. Preparing for allergy season can help reduce the severity of symptoms and make it easier to manage.


The first step in preparing for allergy season is to identify the specific allergens that trigger your symptoms. This can be done through allergy testing, which can help you understand what you are allergic to and develop a plan to avoid or manage your exposure to these allergens.


Once you know what triggers your allergies, there are several steps you can take to prepare for allergy season. These include:

  1. Start taking allergy medication early: It’s important to start taking allergy medication before allergy season starts to build up in your system.
  2. Keep your home clean: Dust and vacuum regularly to reduce the amount of dust and allergens in your home.
  3. Use air filters: Air filters can help remove allergens from the air.
  4. Avoid going outside during peak allergy hours: Pollen counts are highest in the morning and early evening.
  5. Wear a mask: Wearing a mask can help reduce your exposure to allergens when you are outside.

By taking these steps, you can prepare for allergy season and reduce the impact of seasonal allergies on your daily life.

Where is the Fine?: Steelers mock Damar Hamlin

Image
The recent antics displayed by some members of the Pittsburgh Steelers have been nothing short of disgraceful. In a show of complete disrespect and insensitivity, these players have mocked Damar Hamlin, a player who recently required CPR to save his life during a Monday Night Football game. It is completely unacceptable for any player, or group of players, to mock someone who has suffered a serious medical emergency. Not only is this behavior callous and heartless, it also sends a terrible message to fans and the rest of the league. The NFL must take swift and decisive action in response to this incident. The players involved must be fined, and the Steelers as a team must also be held accountable for their actions. This type of behavior has no place in professional sports, and the NFL must make it clear that it will not be tolerated. It is time for the great change to occur in the NFL.
