Health News -- With spring sneaking up on us, pollen is in the air and allergy sufferers everywhere are breathing a congested sigh of disdain. Even though outdoor barbeques, marathons, work-related outings, picnics, markets and festivals are planned throughout the summer, people who sneeze, cough, and generally feel miserable when the wind blows are not welcoming this change. Emerging research shows that B9—also known as folic acid—the component that keeps red blood cells healthy and has been shown to reduce birth defects associated with the spine may also help curb such miserable hot-weather symptoms. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) about 25 million Americans are living with allergies due to their environment and asthma is the biggest portion of a chronic condition that children are afflicted by affecting 7 percent of all age groups throughout the United States.
