MARCH 2019

VoiceDon’t Let Spring Allergies Bring You DownMore than 50 million Americans suffer from allergies every year. In particular, springtime allergies are an annual nuisance for many people. As plants begin to bloom and neighbors start to cut their grass more frequently, allergy sufferers nationwide start sniffling and sneezing. What’s more, mold growth blooms both indoors and outdoors, making it almost impossible to escape allergy triggers.

Spring Allergy Alleviation TipsTo reduce your allergies, be sure to take the following steps:• Wash your bedding every week in hot water to help keep pollen under control.• Wash your hair before going to bed, since pollen can accumulate in your hair.• Limit the number of throw rugs in your home to reduce dust and mold.• Wear an inexpensive painter’s mask and gloves when cleaning, vacuuming or painting to limit skin exposure and dust and chemical inhalation.• Vacuum twice a week.• Make sure the rugs you have are washable.• Change air conditioning and heating air filters often.

Celebrate the Spring Equinox!The spring equinox (also called the March equinox or vernal equinox) falls on Wednesday, March 20, 2019. This event

marks the astronomical first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.

For the first time in nearly 40 years, the spring equinox will occur on the same day as March’s Full Worm Moon. The last time that these two events landed on the same date was March 20, 1981, though they did come close again in March 2000. But that’s not all: March’s full Moon will also be a Supermoon, meaning that it will be slightly larger and brighter than most of the other full Moons this year.
