STRANGE BUT TRUE

* A common issue with blood donation -- along with other types of charitable contributions -- is that if donors don’t know the recipient, it’s harder to convince them that donating is beneficial. Therefore, in an effort to encourage more young people to give blood, Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden, sends a text when their donation has been dispensed to someone in need, providing proof that it’s going to good use.

Immunotherapy for Peanut Allergies Still a Work in Progress

DEAR DR. ROACH: Why can’t people see an allergist and get desensitized to a peanut allergy? As a child, I was allergic to dust, pet hair, milk and other things, but I received treatments. I am not bothered by any of these now. It would seem prudent to desensitize people who have allergies that are life-threatening, like peanut allergies. -- S.S.

ANSWER: Allergy immunotherapy continues to be a commonly used and valid treatment for many allergies, including environmental allergies, insect venom allergies and, more recently, food allergies. The treatment can be used for peanut allergies, but it is certainly not perfect. So, it isn’t used very often.

The goal of immunotherapy is to get a person to tolerate the allergen that they have an allergic response to. This involves giving very tiny amounts of the allergen below the level that would trigger an allergic response. Over time and under extremely close observation, the amount of the allergen is increased. For allergens like pollen, they are typically given by injection under the skin (or by drops under the tongue), but for food allergens, they are given orally. For peanut allergies in particular, reactions are common during oral immunotherapy. For about 1 dose per 1,000 under supervision in an allergist’s office, emergency treatment with epinephrine was required. Even during maintenance therapy at home, a reaction occurred 3.5% of the time, requiring treatment with 0.7% of all doses. Although oral immunotherapy is effective at getting people to tolerate peanuts, the effectiveness is not long-lived, with only 13% of people still being able to tolerate a peanut challenge three years after discontinuing maintenance therapy. (Thirty-seven percent of people who continued maintenance therapy were able to tolerate the peanut challenge.)

Until there are significant improvements in outcomes, I am unlikely to recommend oral immunotherapy for people with peanut allergies, unless they are unable to effectively avoid exposure to peanuts and they continue to have repeated reactions. Whether they’re on immunotherapy or not, patients are still advised to continue careful avoidance and have emergency treatment immediately available. A new treatment for food allergies was just approved by the Food and Drug Adminstration. Omalizumab works by blocking the immunoglobulin IgE, which is critically important in allergic diseases. The study showed that 47% to 80% of subjects who were treated with omalizumab for four months (given by injection every two to four weeks) were able to tolerate a standard dose of the foods that they were allergic to (peanuts, plus at least two other foods). However, it appears that the benefit of the treatment does not persist after the treatment is discontinued, and it is intended for use in conjunction with food allergen avoidance to protect against accidental exposures.

In the future, combining this new medication with oral immunotherapy could be superior to using either alone, and it can help prevent serious or fatal allergic reactions from inadvertently being exposed to peanuts. Further studies are addressing this issue.

CANNABIS AND CANCER-RELATED PAIN

The National Cancer Institute notes that, while more research is necessary, small studies have indicated the potential benefits of cannabis in helping cancer patients overcome the pain associated with their disease. According to the NCI, a small study of 21 patients with chronic pain who combined vaporized cannabis with morphine experienced improved pain relief compared to patients who took only morphine. However, combining vaporized cannabis with oxycodone, a narcotic pain reliever and cough suppressant that is similar to morphine, did not produce significantly greater pain relief. In addition, two small studies indicated that delta-9-THC, the main active cannabinoidinmarijuana,helped torelievepainaswellasnausea and vomiting. A second study indicated that delta-9-THC given in doses could provide pain relief similar to that provided by codeine, a pain-relieving drug derived from morphine. The NCI alsocitesastudythatindicateda cannabis plant extract medicine effectively relieved pain when sprayed under the tongue of advancedcancerpatientswhose pain was not relieved by strong opioids alone. That study also indicated that some patients were able to continue to control theircancer-relatedpainwithout needing higher doses of the cannabis spray or higher doses of other pain medications they weretaking.

* “ ere are so many different ways to pay bills these days that it can be hard to keep track of bills that need to be mailed. Here’s a great way to keep track of when to pay a bill so that it always gets there on time: I used to write the due dates of my bills on my calendar. Now I write the pay by date for each bill on the calendar. For bills that go in the mail, I write a date that’s a week ahead of when it is due. For bills that are paid online, I write a date three days ahead of the due date, and for automatic payments, I deduct the money from the paycheck BEFORE the dra is made. Now I never miss a due date.” -- T.F. in Indiana

Q&A Master Gardeners

How can I improve the fertilityofmygardensoil?

The secret to a garden’s vitality lies within the hidden depths of its soil. To enhance the fertility of your garden soil, it is crucial to nourish it with a diverse array of nutrients and organic matter. One way to achieve this is through the magical art of composting. Composting is a transformative process where organic materials such as kitchen scraps, yard waste, and even fallen leaves are broken downbymicroorganismsintoarich,dark, and nutrient-dense soil amendment. By incorporating this black gold into your garden beds, you infuse the soil with a wealth of organic matter, enriching its

texture, improving its water retention capacity, and providing a buffet of nutrientsforyourplantstofeastupon. Another method to boost soil fertility is through the use of cover crops. These green companions serve as living blankets,protectingthesoilfromerosion, suppressing weeds, and fixing nitrogen from the air into a usable form for plants. Cover crops, such as legumes like clover or vetch, can be sown between growing seasons or in fallow areas of your garden. Once they have fulfilled their duty, they can be tilled into the soil,adding organic matterandnutrientsastheydecompose. In addition to compost and cover crops,

incorporating organic fertilizers can also work wonders for your soil fertility. Organicfertilizerscomeinvariousforms, such as well-rotted manure, bone meal, fish emulsion, or seaweed extract.These natural sources of nutrients provide a gentle and slow-release supply of nourishment to your plants, promoting healthygrowthandabundantyields.

It is important to note that soil fertility is a dynamic process that requires ongoing care and attention. Regularly testing the pH level of your soil can help you understand its acidity or alkalinity, allowing you to make necessary adjustments to create an

optimal growing environment for your plants. Additionally, rotating your crops each season can help prevent nutrient imbalances and the buildup of pests or diseases, ensuring the long-term health andproductivityof yourgarden. So, as you embark on the journey of improving soil fertility, embrace the beauty and complexity of this hidden world. With a blend of composting, cover cropping, organic fertilizers, and thoughtful cultivation practices, you will create a soil ecosystem that teems with life and provides a nurturing foundation foryourgardentothrive.

HOW COMMUNITIES BENEFIT WHEN CONSUMERS SHOP LOCAL

Get a personal touch. Local business owners typically are inclined to go the extra mile for their customers and are personally invested in the services and products they are selling. As a result, shopping locally tends to be a personalized experience. Furthermore, a local business owner may be more amenable to ordering products for specific clientele. Such personalized service is typically not accessible when shopping big box stores or other shops where owners are off-site.

Antoinette Brown Blackwell: Pioneer Minister and Champion of Women’s Rights

BY SUZIE WELLS

Afriend and colleague of Rochester’s Susan B. Anthony, Antoinette Brown Blackwell was a Henrietta native who became the first female ordained minister in the United States and was a prominent suffragist and women’s rights activist in the 19th century.

Born on May 20, 1825 in the family’s Henrietta double log home, when Antoinette was five, the family moved into a fieldstone house her father built on the property. e house, e Brown Blackwell Homestead at 1099 Pinnacle Rd., remains today and in 1988 received the Henrietta Architectural Heritage Award, a er owners, Dr. Elmar & Catherine Frangenberg, restored it.

Growing up amidst the rustic charm of Henrietta, Antoinette fondly remembered a childhood of family love and happy farm life. As the seventh of ten children, she displayed an early inclination towards intellectual pursuits over traditional domestic chores, fueled by her parents’ devout religious convictions. At age 9, she became a full member of the Congregational Church in Henrietta.

Antoinette studied at Monroe Academy, where she then taught, earning the funds necessary to enroll at Ohio’s Oberlin College. Oberlin was notably the first to award bachelor’s degrees to women in a co-ed program.

Undeterred by societal norms, Antoinette boldly voiced her aspiration to pursue ministry, a path traditionally only for men. Despite initial opposition from both Oberlin faculty and her family, Antoinette’s unwavering resolve led to a compromise allowing her to attend lectures and preach, albeit without the formal listing of her as a theology graduate and without official license to preach because she was female. Many years later, Oberlin awarded her an honorary Master of Arts degree and later an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree.

Returning to Henrietta, Antoinette embarked on a tireless journey, traveling the lecture circuits and pulpit engagements to champion causes such as women’s rights and temperance. Her impassioned speeches resonated across the nation, including at the first National Women’s Rights Convention in 1850.

Unfortunately, due solely to her gender and social unacceptance, her voice was sometimes silenced, such as at the 1853 World’s Temperance Convention in NYC, where a “hostile audience” shouted her down and she was expelled, which the ABB Society says was “a watershed for women’s battle for a public voice.”

In 1853, as well, Antoinette became the first woman ordained by a recognized denomination at the First Congregational Church in Butler and Savannah, NY in Wayne County. In 1856, at age 36, Antoinette married Samuel Blackwell, brother of Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female physician in the US, further underscoring her commitment to progressive ideals. ey raised five daughters, and (or but) Antoinette remained active in the ministry.

roughout her life, Antoinette remained steadfast in her advocacy, fostering friendships with prominent suffragists including Susan B.

Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, while also actively supporting the abolitionist cause. Antoinette’s literary legacy, comprising philosophical treatises and eight books, serves as a testament to her intellectual prowess and unwavering dedication.

In her twilight years, Antoinette continued to wield influence, advocating for suffrage before the Senate Committee and rallying support for the federal suffrage amendment. Her presence commanded reverence, symbolized for example by the standing ovation she received at the 1911 state convention and her prominent role in suffrage parades.

Antoinette was the last of the original leaders of women’s rights alive when the 19th Amendment finally passed in 1920, and she voted at the age of 95. She died in 1921, but her legacy endures. She was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in 1993, cementing her status as a pioneer and beacon of hope for generations to come.

e Antoinette Brown Blackwell Society is dedicated to inspiring the growth of every individual by promoting the legacy of this extraordinary woman. e Society awards an annual scholarship and selects a Henrietta Woman of the Year to honor in Antoinette’s name. On Saturday, April 6, the Society board announced Lynne Adamson Stewart as the 2024 Henrietta Woman of the Year, as a model of community engagement, a wonderful friend, and a woman centered in her effort to link us all for the betterment of the Henrietta community. Stewart supports local organizations including e Coffee Connection, Red Cross blood drives, FISH-RHAFT, Inc., mentors women with breast cancer, and promotes the work of Henrietta’s ReStore.

Shop Smart For Vintage Signs

Antique shops are one venue for antique signs and coordinating pieces. Some sellers specialize in vintage signage. Antique stores are popular in many tourist towns and major cities, where more artistic neighborhoods tend to include one or more antique shops.If a particular antique store does not have what you are looking for, they may be able to secure certain pieces you desire from othervendors.

Shoppers looking for antique signs also can purchase reproductions. There are many retailers that produce very good likenesses that may be considerably more affordable than the originals. You also can commission an artist to reproduce signage that fits with your design plans. Some research online or a query of artists in your community may yield prospects who can produce thesignyoucovet. CASTILE MARKET 6073 Rt.19A CASTILE,

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

How long is too long to leave pets at home?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My neighbor across the hall confronted me yesterday, accusing me of mistreating my dog. She said that “Cookie” whines and barks for hours whenever I am gone, and that I need to take him with me rather than leave him alone in the apartment. I work fulltime at an office that doesn’t allow dogs. When I travel, I take Cookie to a sitter. But is 8 to 10 hours away too long for a dog? -- Gerald in Brooklyn

DEAR GERALD: Dogs aren’t always happy about their owners going away for 8 hours a day. ey can develop separation anxiety. is can manifest as nonstop barking, whining or even acting out (like destroying your slippers, pooping in the living room or worse).

Try counterconditioning, a training method recommended by the ASPCA in its article “Separation Anxiety.” Each time you leave home, give your dog a treat or a puzzle toy with treats inside (which will keep him occupied for several minutes). When you get home, put the toy out of sight. e idea is that Cookie will associate your leaving with an enjoyable treat.

You can also desensitize him to your leaving by getting Cookie used to your “departure cues.” For example, if you always put on a coat and pick up your keys when you leave, have a training session where you do the same thing, but then sit down and watch TV instead of leaving. You’ll need to do this (and probably other moves) for several weeks, but it could help.

ese are very basic training exercises, and you may need to incorporate additional training. Check out the article on www.aspca.org, talk to Cookie’s vet and consider working with a professional trainer to help curb his anxiety.

Dancing Queen

Thank you so very much to the lovely pink clad lady who caught me dancing in the aisle at Dollar General on May 4th. Not only did she dance with me, she gave me a coupon as well! Thank you for not only making my day, but my birthday as well! Keep dancing, Queen!

Thank you for returning my purse

Last week after shopping at a local store I returned my cart to the cart corral, not realizing I had left my purse in the cart. While driving home and realizing (then panicking) I had left my purse in the cart I drove back to the store. My purse was not in the cart where I had left it so I went inside the store to the Customer Service desk. Yes! Someone had brought my purse in and everything inside was still there. At the time I didn’t think to ask if the person who did this had left a name. But I would like to let whoever it was know how very grateful I am and to thank them. It’s nice to know that there are still honest people out there. Thank you!

At times, during my husband’s recent hospital stay I felt invisible to some of the professional medical staff when they entered his room (thankfully most were fine). As a retired RN I feel it is crucial for professionals ( MD, RN, etc.) to also address caregivers in the room when they arrive to discuss treatment, surgery, or discharge care. At times a patient’s life may depend on it. My advice to the professionals is to take the blinders off and acknowledge and address the caregiver(s) in the room. My advice to the caregiver: don’t be ignored. Speak up with your questions until you get an answer. Find an advocate on the unit that you can work with. There is no need to go it alone or have unanswered questions. Fragmented care isn’t much better than no care.

Foolish Parenting

The surest sign of spring is back in our area. No, it’s not the returning Robins. It’s the Dad with a riding mower and the toddler balanced on his knee. For those of you who think a mower is an amusement park ride, it’s time to learn about all the children who have squirmed, bounced off, and ended up under the mower blades. About 9,000 children a year are injured in mower accidents. Of that number, roughly 15 are fatalities. Why bother strapping your kid into a car seat for a drive when you don’t value their lives enough to keep them away from a mower?

QUALITIES TO LOOK FOR IN A POST-RETIREMENT JOB

Flexibility: Retirees may be looking to contribute to their communities or simply earn a little spending money, but they will likely still want the freedom to travel or spend time with their families whenever they choose. So flexibility is something to look for in a postretirement job. This is what makes consultant work so attractive to retirees. In-person hours may not be required of consultants, who can then offer their input while visiting their grandchildren or traveling the world.
