Since about 20 million Americans may have some degree of difficulty at ragweed pollen time, cold weather means a great deal of. relief to many, many people. Fortunately, there are things that can be done in addition to waiting for the cool weather.

First and foremost is avoidance of the pollen. As was suggested earlier by doctors, arranging a vacation in a pollen-free climate is an ideal way to avoid hay fever. Failing this, air conditioning is some help, provided the filters are cleaned frequently, and care is taken to recirculate the room air, rather than bringing in the air from outdoors, heavily laden with pollen. Intensive campaigns carried on locally to remove the plants, the source of the problem, are of great help, but only if every effort is made to eradicate most of the plants. Finally, if these environmental measures are not practical or successful, medical advice should be sought.

Doctors have many techniques at their disposal for the treatment of hay fever. The first line of treatment, for those not especially ill, is the use of medicines such as anti-histamines, and agents which deccngest the mucus membranes, and dry them. Combinations such as these are available commercially, without prescription, and are widely advertised. Some of the stronger ones are available only on prescription from the doctor. Next, powerful drugs related to the hormones produced by the adrenal gland, the steroids, are sometimes used for a short while.

These drugs have important side effects, and are generally available only on recommendation of a doctor. Many other medicines can be used, but it is usually somewhat of a problem to find exactly the best drug for each patient. Hay fever belongs to a group of illnesses called allergies, in which the body reacts violently to an exposure to some offending substance, just as in the case oi hay fever from ragweed pollen. Allergists, doctors who specialize in the management of these conditions, have special techniques for discovering exactly what substance is the cause of the symptoms. In the case of ragweed, the cause is somewhat obvious, but not completely.

In autumn, tyere are other pollens and substances which cause hay fever symptoms besides the ragweed. Of course, treatment for ragweed sensitivity will not be helpful unless the cause is ragweed pollen, so some effort must be made as a rule to determine the exact cause of the symptoms. Course of Treatments When this has been done, the allergist may recommend a course of treatments by injection to reduce the sensitivity of the patient to the ragweed pollen. Such a procedure Is, for short term, time consuming and sometimes expensive, but it is usually rewarding, In recent years, the number of injections required has been decreased somewhat by the use of new materials, so the basic procedure of injection treatment for allergy symptoms has been improved in this regard. There are on the medical horizon many other improvements in the treatment of hay fever, which has come a long way indeed from the initial recommendation for a trip to a pollen free climate.

Nevertheless, Aug. 15 has arrived and so has the pollen. From now until frost, about 10 per cent of all Americans will do their best to survive the irritation of those microscopic tormentors, those irritants of the eyes, nose and chest, the pollen grains of the ragweed plant. Let them be of good cheer: help is available at the doctors office. Dr.

Key will be happy to answer questions on medical subjects. Letters may be addressed to him in care of The Daily Register, 4042 Broad St, Red Bank. 07701. By PAUL KEY, M.D. Once again there can be heard throughout th eastern part of the country the stacatto sneering, the hacking cough and the stuffy head of the hay fever patient, for ragweed season is upon us.

As it does each year, about the fifteenth of August, plants of the group called ambrosiae spread their pollens to the wind and the misery begins. Pollens are microscopically small, single-celled, plant dust from which seeds are formed. They are carried into the air on rising air currents, and distributed about widely. Since each plant may produce thousands of pollen grains in a single season, much pollen' is available from the ragweed plant alone to cause difficulty. Furthermore, ragweed is a very hardy plant, growing abundantly in any patch of ground, with no special, care at all, so the number of plants in many areas is quite large.

Ragweed can be found in many parts of the world, but especially in the United States east of ihe Mississippi River. It is also found in the West, but not so generally distributed. Little in Europe In Europe, there is little rag weed, except in Portugal, nor does the plant grow well north of the Great Lakes, or at altitudes higher than 5,000 feet Accordingly, it was the practice of physicians for many years to recommend vacations in Europe, Canada or the mountains. These days, fortunately, more can be done for relief than this, as we shall see. Hay fever sufferers are people whose bodies do not withstand exposure to the ragweed pollen.

To these people, the pollen is very irritating, and their bodies, in effort to remove the -irritation react in normal fashion, but excessively. As would be expected with an irritant in 'the eye or nose, there is much Itching and watering of the eyes, much sneezing and running of the nose. There is also cough, and secretion of much mucus in the chest as the body tends to remove by washing away the irritating particles, and to blow them away by sneezing and coughing. All of this is exactly what the body does to remove any irritating substance foreign to it, but it is all very excessive. So we find the red, teary-eye, stuffy-nosed, sneezing, coughing hay feverite with us from the beginning of the pollen season to its end with the first frost.
