This year’s allergy season is one of the worst in years according to school nurse Carol Gelatt.
Gelatt said, “Every year at this time of year we receive a lot of allergy complaints. Due to the rain we’ve seen and due to the warm weather, everything is in bloom right now. So there is a lot of pollen in the air.”
Freshman Colin Wood, who has bad allergies said, “My nose has been clogged and I’ve had a lot of drainage. My (allergy medicine) has not been working, so I may change it soon.”
Gelatt advises students to see their physician if allergies cannot be controlled. By Matt Barnthouse <[email protected]>
