As a Pharmacy Student, step
ping off the plane and setting
foot for the first time in Oregon,
I was greeted by beautiful scen
ery, friendly faces, and a shin
ing sun. Then I sneeze, and then
came the runny nose, itchy
throat, and watery eyes. All of
this happened for over a week,
until I finally realized it was al
lergies. Working at the Warm
Springs Pharmacy, I know I am
not alone. If your allergies are
not that severe and you don’t
have any other medical prob
lems, there are many things you
can do to prevent and reduce
your symptoms.
A llergens are the things that
make your allergies worse, such
as pets, plants, or dust. If you
can figure out what makes your

symptoms bad, it will be a lot
easier to keep away from the
allergen. Here are some ways to
lower your allergy symptoms:
Close both your car and your
home windows.
If using an air conditioner,
put it on recycle.
Shower nightly. Shampoo
your hair to help remove aller
gens.
Dry laundry indoors or in a
dryer, rather than outdoors.
Keep your pets out o f the
bedroom and off furniture.
Use “allergen impermeable”
mattress or pillow covers and
wash your bedding weekly.
Vacuum and dust regularly.

still bothering you, you can try
over-the-counter and prescrip

Experienced fire observers
have d eterm ined th a t your
hom e have an 80 p ercen t
greater chance o f surviving a
wildfire if you complete some
basic steps to create defensible
space.
A good first step is to deter
mine the most likely direction a
fire would spread toward you
home. This of this direction as
the “hot side” of your house and
work on this side first.
Homes located on steep hill
sides are at greater risk than
those on level ground, because
a fire will burn fast and hotter
as it travels uphill. The side of
the home facing downhill is the
“hot” side. Up to 100 feet of
defensible space may be re
quired.
Homes located in mountain
valleys are often exposed to
winds. The windward side is
your homes hot side.
Injured or diseased trees may
die, which increase their suscep-
tibiEty to fire, creating another
hot side. These trees should be
removed. If you prefer to make
it a wildEfe tree, remove top and
branches.
Starting your actions on the
hot side o f your home makes
good sense if you Eve in areas
prone to wildfire. Plan ahead and
take the time now to create a
defensible space for your home.
Be aware, be prepared, and be
concerned. I f you have any
questions, please contact Fire
Management at 553-1146.
Saline nasal spray and artifi
cial tears (rewetting eye drops)
are available over-the-counter in
the pharmacy. By using them
after you have been outside, you
help get rid o f allergens that may
have been trapped in your eyes
or nose
Antihistamines help with a
runny nose and itchiness. The
older antihistamines are diphen
hydram ine (Benadryl®) and
chlorpheniramine, available at
the pharmacy in Warm Springs.
However, they tend to make
people very drowsy so be care
ful and do not take the medica
tion if you need to be alert.
N ew er antihistam ines d o n ’t
cause as much sedation. Warm

loratadine liquid for kids and
cetirizine and fexofenadine ygb

You can also buy loratadine and

counter, but pseudoephedrine

is sprayed directly into the nose.

If you have tried these vari
ous strategies to get rid o f your
allergies and they are still both
ering you, make an appointment
with your healthcare provider.
It is also important to remem
ber thatthese recommendations
are not for everyone, and if you
have asthma or high blood pres
sure, it is important to talk to a
healthcare provider or pharma
cist before starting on any new
medications. Remember, avoid
ing allergens is key. Happy sum
