Five Strange but Effective Ways to Deal with Allergies
Seasonal allergies affect about 40 million Americans every year. Medications like Claritin and Zyrtec can be a big help. But if that's not enough, here are five strange but effective ways to get some relief. Plus, they're all-natural.
#1.) Shampoo Your Eyelashes. Pollen clings to them, then slowly makes its way into your eyes.
--But researchers at Long Island Hospital in Brooklyn found that washing your eyelashes with baby shampoo twice a day can reduce redness, itching and puffiness by as much as 90%.
#2.) Eat Yogurt. Scientists in Italy found that two cups of plain yogurt a day can prevent flare-ups and reduce symptoms by 40% or more.
--The "good" bacteria in yogurt helps your body produce more anti-inflammatory proteins. Those proteins help your immune system stay calm when it encounters pollen or other things that might cause an allergic reaction.
#3.) Drink Iced Tea. The antioxidants stop your body from producing a major allergy trigger called "immunoglobulin E". (--pronounced immune-oh-glob-you-lin . . . or just IgE for short.)
--Black OR green tea is fine. Try to drink at least 24 ounces a day.
#4.) Wear Clothing That's All Cotton. The reason dust clings to your TV screen is because the screen builds up a static charge that pulls in dust particles while they're floating around in the air.
--Synthetic materials like polyester and nylon do the same thing when they rub against each other. Which means you could walk around outside for a few hours without touching anything . . . but still be COVERED in pollen.
--Cotton and linen attract about half as much.
#5.) Avoid Certain Foods. In PEAK allergy season, the proteins in some foods . . . including apples, carrots, zucchini, celery, and tomatoes . . . can make allergies even worse.
--It's called "cross-reactivity," and affects about one-third of people who have issues with pollen. If you don't WANT to give up those foods, just make sure you cook them. Heat breaks down the specific proteins that are responsible for it.

We believe you have a right to know what personal information is collected during your visits to our web sites – WBKVAM.com and WBWIFM.com – and how the information is used and safeguarded. You can view most of our content anonymously, but circumstances exist when information about you is collected. The information gathered falls into two categories: information you supply voluntarily and information we gather through technology.
Information you supply voluntarily
To use certain features and services on our web sites, you are asked to provide specific information about yourself. Examples of such features and services include submitting information for broadcast on the air, entering contests, starting an email or paper newsletter subscription, contacting us about a customer service problem, contacting us with question on programming or subscribing to an email notifier. This information is collected when you fill out a browser-based form and is necessary to make the features useful and valuable. The forms have blank spaces into which you type the information. In most cases, we collect information such as your name, email address, telephone number, birth date and mailing address.
How we use information you supply voluntarily
We use the information you voluntarily supply to complete transactions or to communicate with you. For example, if you submit items or information for broadcast, we use your information to process and confirm your information. If you contact us for help, we use the information to contact you with a resolution to your problem or answer to your question. If you enter a contest, we use the information to determine eligibility and to contact winners.
Information gathered through technology
Technology helps us gather other information. Our web servers automatically collect limited information about your computer’s connection to the Internet, including your IP address, which is usually associated with the place from which you enter the Internet. You likely enter the Internet through your Internet service provider, your company or your school. Your IP address does not identify you personally. Your email address is not collected through this process, and no data on your hard drive or personal or institutional servers are read. We also collect aggregate information on how many people visit our sites and what pages people access on our sites. We do not track the specific pages that you or any individual access on our sites. Some of this information is gathered using a standard feature of browser software called a “cookie.” The cookie does not identify you or other individual users. It merely identifies the computer you use. A cookie cannot read data on your hard drive or server or gather other personal information about you such as your name or email address.
How we use information gathered through technology
The information gathered through technology helps us make our sites more interesting and useful to you and other visitors. It helps us evaluate the value of and interest in specific sections of our sites. We can build better sites if we know which pages you and other people visit and how often you and others visit those pages.
Sharing information with other parties
Personal information you voluntarily provide is used for internal purposes only and is not shared or sold with other businesses or organizations. Under no circumstances is specific information about you or other individuals shared with advertisers or other parties without your permission. Use of certain interactive features, such as submitting a restaurant review in our online dining guide, a news item, community calendar or business report item, implies your permission to share your information. Situations where permission is implied are clearly labeled on the browser-based forms. We will share personal information with law enforcement officials as required under subpoena or court order to protect the safety and security of our sites, our visitors and the community. We do share aggregated statistics on site visits and page views with advertisers to help them understand our audience and confirm the value of advertising on our web sites. Personal information about individuals is not shared with advertisers.
Special notice to children
Children should always get parental permission before sending any information about themselves over the Internet – to us or anyone else. We encourage parents to review and share safety tips with their children using the Internet.
Notice regarding other online companies
WBKV and WBWI are affiliated with Bliss Communications Inc., Bliss New Media and other online companies and providers, some of which feature our branding. Our web sites also provide text and graphic links to web sites over which we have no control or responsibility for content or business practices. This policy statement does not apply to the web sites of those companies and organizations. Please refer to these affiliated sites to obtain information on their privacy policies. If you cannot find the privacy policy of these sites via a link from the site’s home page, you should contact the business or organization directly for more information.
Our right to revise this policy
The Internet is an ever-changing medium. We reserve the right to alter or amend this policy as required by changes in business strategy or developments in technology. If changes are required, we will post the changes before they go into effect. The use of information gathered while the current policy is in effect will be consistent with the current policy, even if we change the policy later.
