and allergies  Hi Trudi!  Your questions are excellent and
frequently asked of many health care professionals. This time of
year is a big problem for people who are allergic to ragweed and
molds. HOWEVER, on a ship, this problem is usually minimal,
because, of course, you are either at sea or in Caribbean
regions not usually associated with hayfever. This isn't to say
that your fiance may not suffer allergy symptoms....he could be
reactive to other allergens present in areas that you will
visit.  My first recommendation is that your fiance needs to
determine what is really going on. If nasal discharge is
discolored yellow-green for longer than three weeks, or he has
had a fever associated with the sinus condition, it's not likely
just allergies. He might consider seeing a physcian if either of
these symptoms has existed, because it just may be a sinus
infection. If it truly is allergie
