RAIN AND HEY FEVER
Hay fever has its relation to pollen content of the atmosphere Is mentioned in the annual report of the Baker Medical Research Institute, says the Melbourne Age. In a survey of the pollen content of Melbourne air, it is pointed out that Miss M. M. Sliarwood, biochemist, had with graphs showing the frequency of occurrence of the more common types of pollen present in the air, correlated the amounts of pollen with weather factors, such as wind rain and relative humidity. The rain appeared to be the main climatic influence, but northerly winds were usually associated with high pollen sounts. Humidity appeared to have little effect. The pollen survey had been repeated from October to March ast, but with a different method of mllecting the pollen samples to that previously used. A few of the hay ‘ever patients attending the as- j hma clinic had been asked to keep I •ecords of their attacks, with a view j o a comparison of that data with ■ diss Sharwood’s pollen counts
