Antihistamines: What You Should Know

Antihistamines are typically separated into sedating and non-sedating forms, based on their central

nervous system effects. Non-sedating antihistamines are less likely to cross the blood-brain barrier.

Antihistamines are some of the most commonly used drugs in medicine, and most are available in

multiple forms, both by prescription and in over-the-counter products, alone or combined with other

medications. Common uses include short-term treatment of symptoms of the common cold, hay

fever, motion sickness, nausea, vertigo, cough, rash or hives, itching, and anaphylaxis (an acute

allergic reaction to an antigen, such as a bee sting). Sedating antihistamines are sometimes also used

as mild sleeping aids. Certain antihistamines, even over-the-counter ones, should not be used in the

elderly. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking them.

Many antihistamines are also available in topical forms, as creams, nasal sprays, and eye drops for

local use in alleviating allergic symptoms. Non-sedating antihistamines are typically used in extended

or long-term treatment of allergic disorders, including hay fever, sinusitis, and chronic rash or hives.

Suffering from Allergies This Spring? Fight Back

Allergies are the 6th leading cause of chronic illness in the U.S., with an

annual cost in excess of $18 billion. More than 50 million Americans suffer

from allergies each year.

Allergies are an overreaction of the immune system to substances that generally do not affect other

individuals. These substances, or allergens, can cause sneezing, coughing, and itching. Allergic

reactions range from merely bothersome to life-threatening. Some allergies are seasonal, such as hay

fever. Allergies have also been associated with chronic conditions such as

sinusitis and asthma.

Who’s at Risk?

Anyone may have or may develop an allergy at any age—from a baby born

with an allergy to cow’s milk, to a child who gets poison ivy, to a senior citizen who develops hives

after taking a new medication.

Can It Be Prevented?

Allergies can generally not be prevented, but allergic reactions can be. Once a person knows they are

allergic to a certain substance, they can avoid contact with the allergen. Strategies for doing this

include being in an air-conditioned environment during peak hay-fever season, avoiding certain foods

and eliminating dust mites and animal dander from the home as much as possible. They can also

control the allergy by reducing or eliminating the symptoms. Strategies include taking medication to

counteract reactions or minimize symptoms and being immunized with allergy-injection therapy.

The Bottom Line

The most common allergic diseases include: hay fever, asthma, conjunctivitis, hives, eczema,

dermatitis, and sinusitis.

Food allergies are most prevalent in young children and are frequently outgrown.

Latex allergies are a reaction to the proteins in latex rubber, a substance used in gloves, condoms,

and other products.

Bees, hornets, wasps, yellow jackets, and fire ants can cause insect-sting allergies.

Allergies to drugs, such as penicillin, can affect any tissue or organ in the body.

Anaphylaxis is the most severe allergic reaction. Symptoms include flush; tingling of the palms of the

hands, soles of the feet, or lips; light-headedness; and chest-tightness. If not treated, these can progress

into seizures, cardiac arrhythmia, shock, and respiratory distress. Anaphylaxis can result in death.

Food, latex, insect-sting, and drug allergies can all result in anaphylaxis. If you have a known serious

allergy, talk with your doctor about whether you should carry an epinephrine injection pen with you

at all times. Seek immediate medical help if you experience any symptoms of anaphylaxis.

THANK YOU

TO ALL THE SPONSORS OF THE OMRO AREA NEWSLETTER

Continued from front page~

This year’s Pork and Rhubarb Fest will be different from years past. We found that many of

the rummage sales in the area are selling hamburgers and hot dogs and the vendor fair has

food booths, all of which effect the number of people who attend the luncheon at the center.

We have decided to take a year off from doing the luncheon and concentrate on the pie sales.

Let us know if you want the luncheon back next year!

Pie making will be on May 27th beginning at 8:00 AM. Many of our volunteers from past

years are retiring or busy with other events. We thank them for all of their years of service to

the center! However this means that we are in need of new volunteers for this effort. We usu-

ally finish up around 12:30 and then the center treats everyone to lunch. If you can help with

this endeavor, please give us a call!

We make two kinds of rhubarb pie, two crust or crumb crust. The pies sell for $10 each and

all proceeds go to the operation of the center. Pies will be for sale beginning Friday afternoon

about 3:00 PM and will also be available on Saturday from 10:00 until 1:00 (or until sold out).

We are also going to have them available at the Pig in Omro as we tried that last year and

some people were pleased because they didn’t make it to the center to get a pie. Pies will be

available at the Pig Friday afternoon and Saturday as well. Please help support the Commu-

nity Center and enjoy our delicious pies.

Since we will be making pies, we are again looking for rhubarb donations from many of the

fine folks of Omro. If you are willing to donate some of your rhubarb crop to this great en-

deavor, please give us a call at the center. We will never take it all, we try to take only 1/3 un-

less you specify otherwise.

Obviously, we could not do this fundraiser without the help of many special people. We truly

thank everyone who helps us make this event so successful. This allows us to keep our center

doors open and provides needed space for many groups to meet, exercise classes to be held and

attended and all ages of community members to be served by the programs and events held

here.

Thanks to all who help, donate, purchase and support the Omro Area Community Center!
