It's allergy season high pollen count irritates KU noses
Green grass and blooming trees are signs of spring. But they also are harbingers of allergy season, a Watkins Memorial Health Center official said yesterday.
Kansan staff writer
Bv Steve Bailey
Charles Yockey, Watkins chief of staff, said April and May were uncomfortable months for people suffering from hay fever.
"You would think with the kind of spring we have had so far with the cold and wet weather that allergies would not be too much of a problem," Yockey said. "But the pollen count has increased tremendously during the past two weeks, and we are seeing a lot of people right now suffering from allergy symptoms."
April and May are peak months for allergies related to pollen from blooming shrubs, bushes and trees, Vockey said. Watkins normally treats 10 to 15 people a day suffering from allergy symptoms during this period.
About June 1, when most trees are budded out, grass allergies become more common than tree- or shrub-related allergies. Ragweed allergies become a problem in August, reaching a peak about Labor Day and lasting until the first freeze, Yockey said.
Some common allergy symptoms include itchy or watery eyes, scratchy throat, sneezing, sinus headache and clear discharge from the nose.
"The difference between allergy and infection can usually be seen in the color of the nasal discharge,"
rockey said. "With allergies, the discharge is normally clear. With infections, the discharge is usually colored, being green or yellow."
Yockey said that more than 200 prescriptions and many over-the-counter medications could help relieve allergy symptoms. However, certain medications could present problems for people who use them often.
"Over-the-counter nose sprays are to be avoided at all costs," Yockey said. "They are very addictive. Once a person uses one of these sprays for a period of time, it is extremely difficult to get the person off of it. After about three days it takes more spray and more frequency to get rid of the symptoms until it becomes difficult to breathe without it."
Yockey said allergy shots also could be effective in treating allergy symptoms but could take months before the body built up a sufficient immunity to the allergic material.
Although Watkins has no allergist on its staff, it has an allergy clinic where students being treated by an out-of-town allergist can get shots. Last year Watkins served 255 students in the allergy clinic.
Esther Smith, registered nurse in the allergy clinic, said students' hometown allergists sent the specific antigens to Walkins to be given to the students when needed.
"Some students come in weekly, and others come in only once or twice a month," Smith said. "They usually start coming in about February to begin building up immunity for when the plants begin blooming."
Kansas, Missouri want to file lawsuit against gas producers

goods and services to bring an antitrust lawsuit. In this case, two utilities, Kansas Power and Light Co. and UtiliCorp United Inc., brought lawsuits alleging illegal price fixing against a number of natural gas producers and a pipeline company
A general rule in federal law permits only the direct purchasers of
At issue legally is whether the attorneys general in the states or utilities will be allowed to sue on behalf of residential customers for damages.
Floyd R. Finch Jr., a lawyer for UtiliCll, told the justices that allowing utilities to bring the claims of all customers — residential, industrial and commercial — was the best way of handling what already would be a complex legal battle against the gas producers.
WASHINGTON — The states of Kansas and Missouri asked the Supreme Court yesterday to permit them to bring an antitrust lawsuit against natural gas producers to recover overcharges against residential consumers.
Hayden aide to seek seat in U.S. House
Kansan staff writer
The filing was required by federal law after his fund-raising effort passed the $5,000 mark.
Scott Morgan, legal counsel for Gov. Mike Hayden, filed a statement yesterday of his intention to seek the 2nd District Republican nomination for the U.S. House of Representatives.
"I've raised more than that," Morgan said. "So this means I'm past testing the water, and I'm going forward."
Morgan, a 1983 graduate of the KU School of Law, filed with the clerk of the House to represent the act, which includes Lawrence.
Morgan refused to announce his candidacy yesterday, but he said he would make an announcement during the first part of May.
"This is a real strong indication of my intentions." he said.
Morgan became Hayden's legal counsel in June 1989. He joined Hayden's staff in August 1988 as director of federal affairs.
Frank Ybarra, spokesman for Hayden, said that the governor respected and supported Morgan but that he would not comment on Morgan's possible candidacy.
"We want to give him a chance to make it official before we start analyzing the situation," Ybarra said.
Morgan has 15 days under federal election law to file the name of a campaign treasurer.
He is the only GOP 2nd District candidate proceeding with a campaign.
"I've been expecting rumors," Morgan said. "But I haven't heard of anyone, crazy or otherwise. I don't know where I fall into that." The filing deadline for the Aug. 7 primary election is June 11.
Incumbent Rep. Jim Slattery declared in August 1899 that he would be a candidate for the Democratic Party again this year. He reaffirmed that decision in January after briefly considering seeking the nomination for governor. Slattery bowed out of the governor's race when former Gov. John Carlin declined to step aside.
Slattery won the 2nd District seat in 1982 and was re-elected in 1984, 1986 and 1988.
Slattery could not be reached for comment.
