Marvel and Misery: Allergy Season 2022

It's Spring!!!!! With trees budding and flowers blooming, the world is teeming with life! But amidst the beautiful weather and optimism of nature reborn, there is suffering. Millions of Americans (including some of our very own on Health In Harlem) suffer with seasonal allergies and it can be a challenge getting through each day as the sneezing, coughing, congestion, runny nose, itchy eyes, etc. can be unbearable. In this episode, Dr. Maurice Selby and Reid Vero break down the science behind allergies and hypersensitivity reactions and the things we can do personally, in our homes, and outdoors to reduce symptoms and get the most out of this wonderful time of year.    Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Allergies and Pollen https://www.cdc.gov/climateandhealth/effects/allergen.htm   Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Pollen and Your Health https://www.cdc.gov/climateandhealth/effects/pollen-health.htm   Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America: Allergy Facts and Figures https://www.aafa.org/allergy-facts/   Cleveland Clinic: Food Allergies        https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9196-food-allergies   Mayo Clinic: Drug Allergy                                                https://www.pennmedicine.org/for-patients-and-visitors/patient-information/conditions-treated-a-to-z/drug-allergy
