The Department should work more closely in this regard with the Wisconsin Department of Public Health. In addition, agencies charged with developing, implementing, and evaluating illness and injury prevention programs for public employees should make greater use of the data available in the Department's databases to anticipate potentially troublesome tendencies, to monitor changes, and for other purposes. Acknowledgments Duane Frisch from Wisconsin Division of Worker's Compensation performed the statistical analysis and consultation for interpretation of the results. Drug use and alcohol abuse, as well as health conditions and medications that impair performance can all increase injury risk. The response results in symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and irritability.
Some people suffer from nasal allergies all year long, while others only have it seasonally.
Seasonal nasal allergies are typically caused by pollen, while year-round nasal allergies are caused by pollen and things such as mold spores, dust mites, animal dander, perfumes, and tobacco smoke. Once the allergic reaction has taken place, an array of both physical and psychosocial symptoms may arise immediately or some time after the onset. Common physical symptoms are sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, headache, itching of the nose, and itching, reddening, and watering of the eyes. In addition to the physical symptoms, there are also recognized psychosocial and behavioral responses. Some of these are chronic fatigue, decreased appetite, poor school performance, poor self-image, absence from work, irritability, and moodiness.
