Every spring starts the same way: one tiny sniffle, followed by a sneeze attack so aggressive, it feels like your body is trying to launch the pollen you’ve inhaled back into the atmosphere. Then come the itchy eyes, the inability to suck air through one and then both nostrils, and the tissues stuffed into every pocket and bag you own. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. More than 80 million Americans suffer from seasonal allergies , also known as allergic rhinitis or hay fever. “This time of year, the biggest culprits are usually tree and grass pollens,” says An Huynh, MD, an allergist and clinical immunologist at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire. They trigger inflammation in the eyes and nose and activate allergic antibodies in the immune system. “The next time these antibodies come in contact with pollen,” he adds, “they can cause allergic cells to break open and release chemicals that can cause sneezing, sniffles an...

Next to the $1.50 hot dog combo and bargains that are too good to pass up, the free samples are one of the best reasons to spring for a Costco membership. On recent trips, I’ve enjoyed tasty chicken wings, mac and cheese and dumplings—practically enough treats to make a meal. I’m always grateful for the gratis snack and am always sure to say thank you (as my mom ingrained in me since childhood). But it turns out that not all Costco shoppers live by the same set of rules. Recently, a worker took to Reddit to air their grievances about a particular request that rubs them the wrong way.

His plan was to cruise upstream past the bridge until he found a creek mouth, fish it for bass, catfish or crappie for a couple of hours, then hurry home to catch his 4-year-old daughter’s T-ball game that afternoon. The wate...
