Get Some ZZZs With These Nighttime Allergy Relief Tips

If allergy symptoms disturb your sleep at night, some simple changes to your sleeping environment might help you find relief, says allergist and immunologist Sandra Hong, MD . It’s important to pay special attention to keeping your sleeping space clean and free from allergens. While these changes are great for everyone, they’re particularly useful for people who are allergic to dust mites, mold, pollen or pet dander.  “If you have allergies, your bedroom needs to be as dust- and clutter-free as possible,” says Dr. Hong. And she has a robust list of ways you can achieve this cleaner sleeping environment.  11 tips for better sleep These tips and tricks should help you cut down on allergens and get better rest. 1. “Lock down” your bedding To keep dust mites at bay, use zippered covers for your pillow, mattress and box springs. “For bedding, you need something you can wash and dry in high heat,” Dr. Hong says. “And no feathers. Trade out feather pillows and down comforters for bedd

5 Common Problems ‘Down There’ — and Whether They Are Contagious

When you feel the itch, irritation and pain of vaginal-area discomfort, your first thought is likely of a yeast infection. But other common disorders can cause similar discomfort. Ob/Gyn  Oluwatosin Goje, MD , says some vulvar disorders are contagious and others are not. Either way, knowing the signs will help guide you in treating them. And if your problem is contagious, knowing this can help you avoid passing it along. Here’s a rundown on five of the most common vulvar conditions: 1. Candida Identifying it : The  Candida albicans  fungus causes an infection in roughly 75% of women at some point. Also known as a  yeast infection , it causes vulvar swelling and redness, severe vaginal itching, burning, painful urination and painful sex. A white, thick, clumpy,  odorless vaginal discharge  accompanies the infection. But some patients don’t have a discharge and the majority of symptoms are on the vulvar.  Yeast infections are generally not contagious. However, in rare cases, they ca

Can You Eat Raw Cookie Dough?

It’s difficult to resist sneaking a couple tastes of that delicious raw cookie dough straight from the spoon or mixing bowl. Unfortunately, there’s danger in that deliciousness. It’s a wise food safety practice to hold off sampling your cookies until they’re baked, says dietitian  Andrea Dunn, RD .  Contaminated flour can hurt you Many people are aware that there’s danger in eating the uncooked eggs that so often are in raw cookie dough, but did you know that the unbaked flour in cookie dough also poses a risk? Flour can sometimes be contaminated with harmful strains of E.coli bacteria, which can cause gastrointestinal distress or other  health complications , according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Flour is made from grain that comes directly from the field and the fields may contain animal waste, which can contaminate the grain with bacteria. When the grain is harvested and milled into flour, it typically is not treated to kill bacteria. “Common steps during food p

Prayers and Grief Counseling After COVID: Trying to Aid Healing in Long-Term Care

A tidal wave of grief and loss has rolled through long-term care facilities as the coronavirus pandemic has killed more than 91,000 residents and staffers — nearly 40% of recorded COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. And it’s not over: Facilities are bracing for further shocks as coronavirus cases rise across the country. Workers are already emotionally drained and exhausted after staffing the front lines — and putting themselves at significant risk — since March, when the pandemic took hold. And residents are suffering deeply from losing people they once saw daily, the disruption of routines and being cut off from friends and family. In response, nursing homes and assisted living centers are holding memorials for people who’ve died, having chaplains and social workers help residents and staff, and bringing in hospice providers to offer grief counseling, among other strategies. More than 2 million vulnerable older adults live in these facilities. “Everyone is aware that this is a stressful

Does My Child Need a Flu Shot This Year – Even if They’re Not Back at School?

Q: My child is learning remotely this year. Should they still get a flu vaccine if they’re not leaving the house every day for school? A: Influenza isn’t just in schools — it’s also out in our communities, in stores and in parks and in individuals around you. It’s still very important for kids to get vaccinated to protect themselves and everybody else around them from influenza. Anybody can get very sick with flu, including children. If you have a child under age 2, they’re one of the groups at increased risk for bad influenza if they get infected. Every year in the intensive care unit, I see children who have no preexisting problems, but they get bad flu and then they develop complications such as breathing problems or pneumonia. Vaccination helps prevent that. Kids who get the flu vaccine are less likely to get sick and less likely to need to be hospitalized if they do get the flu. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone 6 months and older get vac

Are Outdoor Dining ‘Bubbles’ Safe?

Q: I’ve seen some restaurants with plastic bubbles or other tent enclosures on patios. Are these options safe to use as the weather turns cold? A: In the realm of physically spacing out groups of people, sure, these popup bubbles do a good job of spreading people out. But in terms of ventilation and airflow, eating in these outdoor structures is similar to eating indoors (though it does reduce exposures to others “outside your bubble” in contrast to inside). One study found that eating at restaurants (specifically indoors) was tied to COVID-19 spread. So if you’re dining with people outside of your household in these bubbles, the risk of spreading coronavirus is higher. If you choose to eat indoors at a restaurant, it’s best to keep a distance from other diners. If you do utilize these dining bubbles, make sure the air is circulated and that a thorough cleaning and sanitization process occurs between patrons. Talking loudly, singing and eating all pose an increased risk of spre

Black Hair Matters: How Going Natural Made Me Visible

The night before I chopped off my hair, I got nervous. This decision felt bigger than me, given all the weight that Black women’s hair carries. But after three months of wearing hats and scarves in a pandemic when trips to the hairdresser felt unsafe, I walked into a salon emotionally exhausted but ready to finally see my natural hair. I thought a few tears would fall, but, as the last of my chemically straightened hair floated to the floor like rain, I felt cleansed. Free. I laughed hysterically as I drove away from the salon. Friends and family cheered me on virtually, but my father quietly worried about my decision. My dad grew up in the Jim Crow South, where many women straightened their hair to land jobs, husbands and respect. Before my big chop , he never said much about my hair beyond the occasional compliment, which is why I was surprised when he issued a warning. “Watch it out there. Your hair is cut now,” he blurted when he saw me walking out of the house. My mother hear

‘Breakthrough Finding’ Reveals Why Certain COVID Patients Die

Dr. Megan Ranney has learned a lot about COVID-19 since she began treating patients with the disease in the emergency department in February. But there’s one question she still can’t answer: What makes some patients so much sicker than others? Advancing age and underlying medical problems explain only part of the phenomenon, said Ranney, who has seen patients of similar age, background and health status follow wildly different trajectories. “Why does one 40-year-old get really sick and another one not even need to be admitted?” asked Ranney, an associate professor of emergency medicine at Brown University. In some cases, provocative new research shows, some people — men in particular — succumb because their immune systems are hit by friendly fire. Researchers hope the finding will help them develop targeted therapies for these patients. In an international study in Science, 10% of nearly 1,000 COVID patients who developed life-threatening pneumonia had antibodies that disable key

Stanford vs. Harvard: Two Famous Biz Schools’ Opposing Tactics on COVID

At the Stanford Graduate School of Business in Northern California, the stories got weird almost immediately upon students’ return for the fall semester. Some said they were being followed around campus by people wearing green vests telling them where they could and could not be, go, stop, chat or conduct even a socially distanced gathering. Others said they were threatened with the loss of their campus housing if they didn’t follow the rules. “They were breaking up picnics. They were breaking up yoga groups,” said one graduate student, who asked not to be identified so as to avoid social media blowback. “Sometimes they’d ask you whether you actually lived in the dorm you were about to go into.” Across the country in Boston, students at the Harvard Business School gathered for the new semester after being gently advised by the school’s top administrators, via email, that they were part of “a delicate experiment.” The students were given the ground rules for the term, then received up

Clots, Strokes and Rashes: Is COVID a Disease of the Blood Vessels?

Whether it’s strange rashes on the toes or blood clots in the brain, the widespread ravages of COVID-19 have increasingly led researchers to focus on how the novel coronavirus sabotages blood vessels. As scientists have come to know the disease better, they have homed in on the vascular system — the body’s network of arteries, veins and capillaries, stretching more than 60,000 miles — to understand this wide-ranging disease and to find treatments that can stymie its most pernicious effects. Some of the earliest insights into how COVID-19 can act like a vascular disease came from studying the aftermath of the most serious infections. Those reveal that the virus warps a critical piece of our vascular infrastructure: the single layer of cells lining the inside of every blood vessel, known as the endothelial cells or simply the endothelium . Dr. William Li , a vascular biologist, compares this lining to a freshly resurfaced ice rink before a hockey game on which the players and pucks g
