Good Housekeeping
Solves Insect Problems

With corn and soybean harvest
not far away, farmers are remind
ed that grain storage facilities need
to be in first class condition before
harvesting begins. Ed Ralph, as
sociate county agent, says bins
should be cleaned thoroughly and
treated with a'residual spray before
attempting to store grain. He in
dicates all old grain, trash, feed
sacks, and debris that furnish liv-
ing quarters for insects should be
removed. Ceilings and walls should
be swept down thoroughly and a
vacuum cleaner used to clean
cracks. A good clean up job around
the outside of the bins will also
help to reduce the number of in
SectS.
Walls should be sprayed W lit h
methoxychlor or malathion (p e.
MUM grade). A grain protectant
can be added to the grain as it is
placed in the bin. A commercial
pyrethrum product is available for
this purpose. ALI chemicals should
be used according to the manufac-
turer's recommendations Hender-
son warns.
Screen out rats, mice and birds
as they can take a heavy toll in
the grain bin.
The less moisture present in the
grain, the less attractive it is to
insects, moles and bacterial. Only

the body by myriad of things
ranging from food. clothing, plas-
tics and metals to insect hairs,
cooking odors, heat or cold and
modern wonder drugs.
DR.. Richard A. Kern of Philadel-
phia, a specialist in the field, says
about 40 to As percent of Ameri-
cans are believed sensitive in ait
least some degree to one or more
allergens (allergy producing a
gents).
Why is II that some people are
'allergic" and others not? There Is
no definite answer yet. 1t has been
found. however, that allergies p
pear to be tightly connected with
our internal, involuntary defense
system the mechanisms and ma
terials the body rallies to protect
itself.
Sneezing, for instance, is an at
tempt by the body to forcefully ex-
pell an irritant, such as pollen
grain which has settled in the mas
al passages. III the bit of pollen is
blown out all well and good. If not,
then another defense maneuver
starts. The tissues swell TO emit
heavy discharges of mucus in an
effort to wash out the irritant.
Should this prove futile. the sneez-
ing and mucus discharge continues
and you begin to have the classic
symptoms of hay fever
Just why substance such S
pollen should severely irritate one
nose and not another isn't really
clear yet. But it may be that in
some people the pollen and muc-
Gus membrance form a strong
chemical bond, while in others the
body chemistry is slightly different
and no bond takes place.
On the other hand, it may be that
the pollen merely sets in motion
other chemical reactions which the
body resists. 1t is known, for ex-
ample, that when an allergy-pro-
ducing substance is present body
cells emit an abnormal amount of
Milford chronicle., 1962-08-24

dough, or a housewives hands to a
detergent.
Evidence is strong that allerg1es
are combination of heredity and
environment. 'Heredity," said ID +.
Kern, accounts for the Unborn
quality of easy sensitiZation. e n
vironment overwhelmingly deter
mines the things to which a person
becomes sensitive"
A sensitive person, he notes, is
often susceptible to more than one
allergen, as if the condition is a
general weakness. Thus a city
dweller known to be allergic to
cucumbers, may find that down on
the farm he is allergic to chicken
feathers as WELL
1t has been estimated that there
are nearly 100000 cases of al
lergy in the United States. OF these
hay fever afflicts about one person
out of 20.
There are number of o h r
common respiratory allergies quite
similar to hay fever, except they
are caused by an allergy o h r
than pollen. This often makes for
more troublesome ailment since
there is no "off season" as there
is for hay fever.
In general hay fever and similar
conditions are merely miserable.
But there is a hidden danger -
asthma.
Asthma is the most serious of
the common allerSic diseases, re-
sponsible for perhaps 10000 deaths
annually, according to one es-
innate.
In asthmatic cases, the irritation
which may start in the nasal pas
sages, proceeds into the bronchi :
the air passages leading to t h e
lungs. This causes the bronchi to
become constrict so that the victim
has difficulty breathing. The lack
of breathing capacity in turn may
overtax the heart.
Medicine didn't really begin o
come to grips with allergies until

histamine. This chemical, found in
all tissues, is probably part of
the body's defenses. 1t causes the
small blood vessels to expand,
which in turn enables them to car
ry more blood to the affected part.
Some specialists think that a n
allergic person may react to his
own histamine. Drugs which su-
press the production of this chem
ical have been used effectively to
control body reactions to allergens.
BY far the most perplexing al
lergy experience by physicians to-
day is that produced in some people
by life-saving drugs such as anti
biotics. vaccine serums and h g
hormone ACTH.
These drugs are injected into the
body to fight disease. But the body
doesn't realize this. To the body
such drugs are foreign substance
and therefore must be expelled or
neutraliZed.
To do this, the blood and or
lymph cells produce special chem
icals known as antibodies. T h e
are precisely tailored to neutralize
one particular type of invader. Nor
mally the whole reaction is routine.
The right antibody is produced, the
drug eventually neutralized Ca l.
though not before it has accom-
plished its intended work., and all
returns to normal.
In a few individuals, however,
the introduction of a certain drug
produces with the body a state of
high sensitivity. When this occurs,
subsequent shots of the s a m e
drug can produce shock, uncons-
ciousness, coma or death.
1t has been speculated that n
such cases the body produces too
many antibodies, manufacturers
the wrong kind or delivers them
to the wrong place in the body. 1t
is also possible that the body in
effect becomes allergic to it's own
antibodies.
Food is another frequent cause
of allergic reactions. These can
range from mild indigestion, skin
rashes or hives to death. DR.. Jer-
ONE Glaser of the University of
Rochester notes there is growing
evidence that perhaps a few unex-
planned infant deaths may be caus-
ed by an allergic reaction to cows
milk.
Normally food proteins, W h C h
seem to be the cause of digestive
allergies, are broken down in the
process of digestion. But If a per-
sons body isn't capable of break
ing down certain protein in
certain food then a reaction may
result.

Such allergies, DR.. Kern said, ap-

the skin is wet. Thus bakers

AIlergies Are Not
To Be Sneezed At

A wave of misery is about o
sweep the land borne by an inr
visible sneeze-provoking cloud that
stings the eyes and stuffs the nose.
Each year from mid-August until
autumn chills the air, millions of
Americans are caught up in a
wheezing, coughing, nose-blowing,
eye-wiping fit known as hay fever
and caused by plant pollens. par
tioularly those sown in the breeze
by ragweed.
While virtually unknown in Eu-
rope and most other parts OF the
world. hay fever appears to be a
growing medical problem in h s
country. One alleryg expert specu-
lated that the increases in respira-
tory allergies may be due to econo-
mic factors. Land once under cul-
tivation is now being allowed to re-
vert to weeds. the dusty-topped

weed) family among them. Others
believe the upsurge may stem from
the fact that so many Americans
lead such cocooned lives they never
build up any natural immunity
through gradual contact with p o l.
lens.
Plant pollen is undoubtedly the
most publicized cause OF allergic
reactions. Many newspapers a n d
radio stations keep daily track of
the pollen count during the m
mer. But it is by no means the
only source. and perhaps not even
the most common.
DIR. James B. Landis of the A
merican Medical Associations De-
partment of Health Education said
ordinary household dust may pro-
duce hay fever-type symptoms just
as readily as pollens.
Nor are allergies confined to the
respiratory system. They have
been triggered in various parts of
