| How should you handle hayfever? If you're a sufferer of seasonal allergies, you may not need to be told that in some parts of the country, the spring allergy season is in full swing. A runny nose or itchy eyes may have already clued you in. In this segment, we'll talk about the causes of allergies, and about what works -- and doesn't work -- when trying to deal with the symptoms. |
