Have the Last Laugh on Allergies This Season: Actress Molly Shannon Teams with The Allergy Foundation to Talk About Allergies
Wednesday March 5, 9:00 am ET
- New Survey Shows How Allergies Take a Toll on Americans' Personal and Professional Lives -
FT. WASHINGTON, Pa., March 5 /PRNewswire/ -- With the first day of spring only 15 days away, actress and entertainer Molly Shannon is teaming with the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) to launch the Allergies Are No Laughing Matter educational campaign. Molly and AAFA, with support from the makers of ZYRTEC®, today introduced a new online Allergy Quiz to help Americans learn if they may have allergies, so they can laugh more and sneeze less this spring.
Known for her characters on "Saturday Night Live"* and movie roles including "Year of the Dog,"* Molly suffers from both indoor and outdoor allergies. "Allergies are not something I joke about, especially when I'm on the set with my animal co-stars or spending time with my kids," she says. "Before I learned how to control my allergy symptoms, it was really tough. I even avoided doing a lot of things I enjoyed because they triggered my allergies. I've teamed with AAFA, and the makers of ZYRTEC®, to help other people like me. They can tackle their allergies, like I have, and not miss a beat this spring or all year long."
Allergies take a toll on Americans both personally and professionally, according to a new survey by Kelton Research, in which 50 percent of U.S. allergy sufferers said allergies negatively affected their work, and almost three out of 10 (27 percent) have missed an event, such as a wedding or party, because of their allergies. Hitting closer to home, one out of five (20 percent) people told a family member they couldn't get a dog or cat because of their allergies.

Good morning dear Janeen:-)
It's a horribly frigid day today so I'm staying inside where it's nice & warm and visiting my blogging buddies! I seem to have more time to visit on weekends than during the week!
Wow, you sure were hit by quite the ice storm...it looks so beautiful, though, doesn't it! Loved seeing all the pictures. Hopefully you won't be as hard hit this weekend. Where my son Corey lives near Niagara Falls, they're supposed to get quite a whopping of snow today.
Oh dear, it's no wonder you shuddered when you saw that March is National Peanut Month! I didn't even know there was such a thing! lol
I enjoyed reading that article about Molly Shannon. So many of us look forward to Spring but I guess people with allergies to pollen and such, it's a miserable time for them.
Stay warm and hope you're having a fabulous weekend! xox
