Medical MRMC tips for allergy management
Since spring brings sunshine, emerging green, and longer days, many people fear sinus pressure, headaches, itchy eyes, and breathing problems that this brings with it.
An April 28 press release from the Moberly Regional Medical Center said more than 50 million people have nasal allergies and half of them have seasonal pollen allergies, according to the recently published Allergy and Asthma Foundation of America (AAFA) a list. One of the toughest places in the country to live with allergies.
"Given the changing climate, this time of year can be extremely difficult for people with allergies," said Courtney Ramsey, FNP of the Moberly Rural Health Clinic, in a press release. "While we see high pollen counts at this time of year and avoidance may be inevitable, there are a few things to consider for people with allergies."
If you or someone in your family has hay fever or allergic rhinitis, MRMC suggests these helpful tips to help manage the symptoms:
: • Leave the pollen outside. At the door, take your shoes off as much as possible to avoid pollen from spreading around your home.
• Close the windows and dust the fans. Despite good weather, very sick people should keep the windows closed to prevent allergens from entering. If you use a ceiling fan, clean it well in the spring. Replace the air filters in your home and in your car.
• Keep your immune system strong. Eat fresh, clean, and nutritious foods and stay active. The healthier your immune system, the better prepared your body is to fight histamines.
• Pay attention to the pollen count. Daily changes - The daily count by zip code can be found at www.pollen.com
• Drink hot beverages. Herbal teas can help relieve congestion and keep you hydrated.
No matter where you live this year, allergies are likely to affect someone in your home. In addition to tips on avoiding allergy triggers, there are many effective treatments available to minimize symptoms.
Talk to your doctor about the best allergy prevention or treatment method for you.

TIP OF THE WEEK: Versatile Lemon Offers Green Cleaning Options
Editor's note : OrilliaMatters is partnering with Sustainable Orillia to publish a weekly tip. Check back here every Tuesday night for new advice. More information is available on the Sustainable Orillia website .
Almost now, many of us feel the need to do some serious spring cleaning on our homes. There's something about the sun that comes in through our windows and shows those attention grabbing and overlooked corners.
Before looking into some cleaning products you might have used in the past, however, Sustainable Orillia believes it's a good time to start promoting the green benefits of lemons as part of your spring cleaning routines this year.
Lemons, as you probably know, are a very versatile fruit. They are native to parts of Asia and came to Italy around AD 500. From there they spread throughout the Mediterranean. In 1492, Christopher Columbus brought lemon seeds to the New World, where they literally took root!
Although most people don't eat raw lemons, the fruit has become a culinary staple both as a flavor and an ingredient in many of our recipes. It is also known for its medicinal properties, especially as a source of vitamin C.
Less known, however, is how this versatile member of the citrus family fits into your cleaning routine and makes your home sparkling clean and fresher than ever.
How can you use lemons for greener cleaning in your home? A fast internet network gives you dozens of uses, which we have narrowed down into the five that seem to have the broadest use for all types of households.
Windows . It's a no-brainer, and many of you have probably used some version of a lemon juice and water solution to clean your windows. Just fill a spray bottle with water, add a few tablespoons of lemon juice, and you're done. If you have old newspapers lying around, they make great window cleaning cloths. It's a great way to reuse yesterday's news.
Ovens This trick works for both traditional oven and microwave cleaning and suggests that you use lemons in place of some of the harsher chemicals commonly used to clean ovens.
For the microwave, fill a small to medium bowl with microwaveable water and add a few tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Also add lemon peel if you have one. Microwave the bowl for three to five minutes. However, do not open the door yet. Leave the bowl in the microwave for another five minutes to allow the steam to do its job.
Then remove the container and clean the inside walls. For traditional ovens, follow more or less the same process: fill an ovenproof container with a solution of water and lemon similar to the one above and place it in the oven at 250 ° F for 30 minutes. Let the oven cool down, take out the pan and clean the inside of the oven. If there are stains that require more attention, apply a paste of lemon and salt to finish the job.
Furniture polishing . Make sure to test this on a less visible surface first, as wood surfaces can vary with different treatments. Prepare a mixture of two part olive oil and one part lemon and rub it with a clean cloth. Then lightly apply to wooden surfaces, polish and your furniture will shine!
The floors . Adding lemon juice to your bucket of water not only absorbs dirt, but also makes your floors look shiny and fresh. Just add equal parts of vinegar and lemon juice to the water and whisk.
Target cleaning l. Lemon juice can break down mineral build-up around faucets. Just spray it on the storage container. Leave on for 15 minutes and clean. To remove tarnish from your copper, aluminum, or brass pots, sprinkle some coarse salt on the cut side of a lemon, then rub it gently on the metal surface. And let's go!
We hope you try lemons as a natural and sustainable cleaning option that, along with salt, vinegar and baking soda, are eco-friendly partners to ensure eco-friendly and chemical-free cleaning in your home.
If you do decide to dispose of the chemical cleaners currently in use, be sure to read the recycling guidelines in your area to ensure proper disposal.
And keep some lemons on hand. No other detergent looks as good on your kitchen counter as a large bowl of cheerful lemons.

Woman shocked when she discovered a thick layer of mold in the trunk of her car
One woman was horrified to find a thick layer of mold that ached her stomach in the trunk of her car.
Sandra Genee, a TikTok user who works for a car cleaning company in the United States, was hired to clean a customer's vehicle but was not prepared for what she found.

In a dark clip that generated 388,000 views, it showed how the shape was hidden under the flap that hid the spare tire.
She wrote in the headline: "1 like = 1 sentence for her lungs because she drove in this car without knowing that there was black mold."
The entire bottom of the boot is covered with a fluffy white shape.
Sandra then explained how the mold had formed and said, "A leak from somewhere that caused water to pool in the trunk, and in that Florida sun, it probably started to grow and spread quickly.

He said his client had no idea the problem was so serious since he only saw a small amount in the main vault.
Sandra said, "I was so angry that the lining on my head broke. "The twist in the plot is that she probably knew and pretended not to.
People were horrified by the video and one said, "How could they not feel it?"
Another added: "I'm surprised he didn't get sick! We spend more time in our cars than we think! ""
A third wrote, "I think he knew but didn't want to admit it."

Club Chronicles: Take Care of Your Garden With These Expert Tips
The Culture Garden Club held its April meeting at the First Baptist Church. The hosts were Debbie Beason, Eva Keys and Barbara Sage.
The Maintaining Your Garden program was introduced by Terry Hall, retired agriculture / horticulture instructor.
Mr. Hall emphasized the importance of irrigation. In summer, you should water your flowers at least once a day. Plants lose a lot of water this season and can wither or slow down if not properly watered.
The other seasons are quite cool and humid and you can water your flowers twice a week.
When determining water consumption, consider the type of flower, soil type and amount of rainfall in the area.
Overwatering and improper watering methods can cause fungal diseases in plants. It is recommended to use safe irrigation methods, such as: B. Apply water directly to the ground and not to the foliage.
Given the signs of poor soil fertility, you need to apply suitable fertilizers. The best fertilizers for flowers are soluble or liquid. Some fertilizers can burn plants if improperly used.
Pests can easily kill flowering plants, so preventing them from attacking your garden is important.
Weeds compete for resources with beneficial plants and can harbor pests and diseases. To get the most out of your flowers, remove the weeds that are growing in your garden.
Mulching is mainly done to help the soil retain moisture and is recommended in areas where water is scarce. This gardening practice can control weeds and regulate soil temperature.
Sunlight is the source of energy and plants need to get as much of it as they need. If your plants can't survive long hours of sunshine, you can fence the garden to block out sunlight at certain times of the day.
Plants need to be pinched and pruned. This process increases branching and encourages more flowers to form.
Deadhead is the process of removing old or dead flower heads from a plant to encourage further flowering. Thinning is the process of removing excess plants to make room for the remaining plants to grow.
Caring for the plants in your garden is a good job, but the maintenance practices are easy to perform.
Program President JoAnn Graham thanked Terry for her presentation. Mr. Hall presented several plants as entry fees for members to plant in their gardens.
Vice President Debbie Nale and Fundraising President announced that the spring flowers sold will be delivered to Hillary Hall House on May 4th at 3:30 pm.
Brenda Oliver, President of Horticulture, went through the plans and did the housework to clean the large pots in the center and plant new plants.
The Garden Club bought new 16-inch baskets and flowers that hung from the center poles.
How to treat hidradenitis suppurativa scars, depending on skin conditions
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is often called the acne inverse, also known as the acne inverse, because of the cysts, bumps, and abscesses that appear inside and under the skin. Contrary to the assumptions of the name, however, the typical mixture of salicylic acid and hydrocolloids cannot be dealt with. "People might think it looks like acne, but acne is a disease of the sebum and (SA) is a disease of the sweat gland - which can be much more extensive than acne." Said Mona Gohara, a board certified dermatologist from Connecticut. To explain. The often painful symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa often occur near sweat-prone areas where friction occurs, such as B. Armpits, breasts and groin.
"You can have these soggy open nodules that become secondarily infected and can actually smell pretty bad," adds New York-based certified dermatologist Michelle Henry . "I've even had patients with it on their faces. It's very serious, but areas of excessive friction are usually also areas where we have more sweat glands. "
Even without secondary infections, these pus-filled lumps and bumps harden into inflamed lesions as they heal, ultimately leading to deep scars. "In addition to draining the stinking pus, the lesions are extremely painful and can have high psychological costs," added New York-based certified dermatologist Shereene Idriss .
Because hidradenitis suppurativa is chronic and has relapsed without healing, treating and treating scars often requires the continued support of your dermatologist and gentle personal hygiene to restore the skin barrier. For some, certain lifestyle changes, including weight loss, exercise, and smoking cessation, may also be beneficial for the overall management of HS. New York-based certified dermatologist Robert Finney also suggests that laser hair removal be performed as soon as possible to "get rid of the follicle, and therefore the problem, and avoid scarring". Here are our recommendations for products with dermatologist-approved ingredients that can help reduce, control, and fade scars.

Use DIY tips to fix your car tailgate
Tailgate attachment
Jill shows us how to fix a tailgate that has lost its buoyancy.
This week, Jill Washburn, our Jill of All Trades, shows us how to maintain and / or replace the hydraulic struts that hold the hatches and sometimes the trunks of many vehicles.
Over time, these spacers can dry out, clog with road debris, or simply wear out completely. They are actually quite easy to care for. And if you need a replacement, you can do it yourself too. They are really very affordable and the solution is quick.
How to determine if your tailgate legs need replacing.
How do you know if your struts have failed? Well, if they're still holding the hatch or tailgate, they're probably still fine, says Jill. Even if they don't go all the way up, as long as they hold on, he said, you're in good shape.
In Jill's case, the tailgate stopped before it was fully raised. Jill thought they didn't need replacing as much as a little attention. Most likely, they will need cleaning and relubrication. Jill started with the little ball joints at each end of the strut where they join the vehicle.
How to detach the tailgate legs from your vehicle.

To release them, you may need to loosen a screw attachment or loosen a spring clip. Jill's vehicle (2011 Grand Cherokee) had a clip on it. He used a small flat-bladed screwdriver to loosen the clip a little. Then he used needle-nose pliers to pry it out of the joint. Keep an eye on the clip, says Jill. You'll need to put it back in when you're done.
Once that was done, he used the needle-nose pliers again to move the joint.
**** TO BE PREPARED ****
You must have the tailgate open or have someone hold it as the tailgate will fall as soon as you remove one end of the tailgate. Tailgates and hatches are heavy, and one strut is not enough to hold one open. You don't want it to fall on your head or pinch your fingers. Removing the other end of the strut should be the same process. Of course, if you were to replace the strut you would simply reverse this process and mount your new strut now.
I'll show you how to clean the ball joints where the strut meets your vehicle.
If you're just waiting for it, your focus will be on cleaning the existing strut. Once you've completely removed it, Jill says, spray some WD-40 on the ends of the strut bushing and clean them with a rag. They are most likely quite dirty, and cleaning them will make the joints easier to move. Also, spray some WD-40 on the ball joints and wipe them off. More of a mechanical cleaner than a lubricant, WD-40 is perfect for these types of tasks. It also prevents water from entering.
When the joint ends are freshly cleaned, reattach the strut by placing the gland ends over the ball ends of the joints and secure them with the spring clip or screw bracket that you originally removed. Spring clips can be a little snotty, says Jill, to come back. You may need to use a screwdriver (or two) or needle-nose pliers to open them and snap them back into place. Jill recommends wearing gloves for this part to avoid pinching your fingers.
Once the strut is restored, it's time to look at the point where the rod enters the hydraulic piston section of the strut. This is a place where silt and dirt can build up, especially if you drive a lot of dirt roads like Jill. Dirt only finds one way. The jills were covered with packed earth. Once again, Jill used the small screwdriver and carefully pried the dirt off the joint. Once the dirt was gone, he wiped it off with a rag and applied a light lubricant. A 3 in 1 oil would work. Jill used Tri-Flow, which she also uses for bicycle chains, so she already had it in her store.
Jill says you may have to open and close the tailgate several times to help spread the lubricant. You may even need to reapply the oil right away to make sure you have enough to cover the dipstick while working on the tailgate. After this process, Jill immediately noticed that her back door worked more smoothly and fully extended, which hadn't happened in a while.
So you are on the right track for a better tail lift and you can potentially avoid going to the dealership or store.
