Museum looking for potential docents The Utah Museum of Natural History invites adults interested in finding out more about the sciences of geology, biology and anthropology to consider enrolling in its eight-month intensive docent training class which begins October 1. A reception for prospective docent trainees is scheduled for September 24 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the museum, located at 215 South 1350 East, Presidents Circle, University of Utah. "Natural History: A Museum Adventure," is not only open to people who'd like to be museum docents, but also to anyone interested in a general overview course on the natural sciences. Thirteen specialists in areas ranging from Anthropology to Museology will take students through the course, which consists of weekly classes, each lasting three hours," explained UMNH Docent Coordinator Joyce Green. Docent trainees can choose to attend classes either on Thursday afternoons from 12:05 to 3:05 p.m. or Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30 pm. Museum docents serve as tour guides for the museum and will be asked to commit 50 hours of volunteer time per year to the museum. Also, a number of activities are sponsored as "docent-only" events. "We'll take several field trips per year," Green said. Docents will be traveling to Albuquerque, New Mexico as well as Horseshoe . Canyon here in Utah this fall. The cost for the training is $60 for UMNH members, $72 for non-members. non-members. To register or to RSVP for the reception, contact Green at 581-5567. Course pre-registration is required. There is also a special discount for senior citizens, and an opportunity to accrue University of Utah credit hours; call the Division of Continuing Education at 581-6483. Allergist offers tip for hay fever sufferers Donna Griffiths sneezed more than one million times during the first year of her record-setting sneezing fit, which lasted 978 days. It began in January 1981 and continued' through September 1983. Guess what? It's hay fever season again. More than 41 million Americans--about one in six -suffer from hay fever every year. The statistics for children are even higher; about one in five have hay fever. Here in Utah there are two major allergy seasons, according to Charles Rogers, M.D., an allergyimmunology specialist at Cottonwood Hospital in Murray. The first season runs from mid-March mid-March through June and the second runs from August until the first or second frost "This is weed season," says Dr. Rogers. "Pollen from ragweed, Russian thistle, burning bush, and sage brush is beginning to increase and will continue to be an annoying presence until it frosts." Even after a hard frost, the pollen in the atmosphere will continue to circulate for up to two weeks. "Even though the plant itself stops releasing pollen, what is already in the air will continue to blow around," he says. A single ragweed plant can produce one billion grains of pollen a day. Unfortunately, blowing pollen is nearly impossible to avoid. "Pollen blows great distances," Dr. Rogers says. "What's in your back yard is not important, it's what is in the valley as a whole. Since samples of airborne ragweed have been found 400 miles out to sea, it's easy to understand that pollen originating in Nephi can easily be found in the Salt Lake Valley. Ragweed is the most common cause of hay fever. Actually, hay fever is a misnomer, Dr. Rogers says, since the symptoms are not caused by hay and there is no fever. The correct name is allergic rhinitis. The most common manifestations of hay fever or allergic rhinitis include sneezing, runny nose, congestion, itchy nose and throat, and watery, red itchy eyes. Dr. Rogers says more serious complication can emerge from the allergic reaction involving sinusitis, nasal polyps, secondary ear infections, larynx and bronchial tubes, and asthma. The best way to treat allergic rhinitis, according to Dr. Rogers, is to minimize exposure to pollen. He offers these suggestions: Keep windows rolled up when driving. Close windows at home and use central air conditioning. Central air can eliminate up to 98 percent of the pollen in your home. Avoid outdoor exposure during early morning hours and late in the evening. Pollen counts during these times tend to be higher. If you work in the yard, do it in 10 minute segments, rather than in on continuous period. Shower immediately after working outdoors. Don't hang laundry outdoors, as pollen and molds may collect in clothes and towels. Wear a mask while mowing the lawn and wash your hair nightly to remove the pollen. It's difficult to avoid all pollens, so there are a variety of medications available for allergy sufferers. "Standard over-the-counter decongestants and antihistamines are usually sufficient for most patients," says Dr. Rogers. A drawback to these medications, however, is that many cause drowsiness. Another treatment alternative is the use of intra-nasal steroids. This tropical application has proved to be effective, but must be used routinely. If you are hoping you will grow out of your allergies-forget it. While some allergy sufferers experience periods of remission, out-growing allergies is a myth, says Dr. Rogers. "Sometimes people who have allergies as children will claim to have outgrown out-grown them in their 20s, but we frequently see them back in their 30s, 40s or 50s. An allergy is the body's immune system recognizing harmless materials as potentially dangerous substances. "For example, the body recognizes ragweed pollen as an invader in allergic individuals. For j those who are not allergic, the body recognizes the same material for what it is--a harmless organic substance," he says.
