How to Solve a Problem That Never Ends
WINTER Cedar trees — Some cases of cedar allergies are so bad that victims can think they have the flu!
Did you know Texans have notoriously bad allergies? San Antonio, Dallas, Austin, and Waco rank as some of the worst places in the country when it comes to major allergies. It’s all because of the warmweather we enjoy. Without freezing winters, plants in Texas are able to pollinate all year. What’s more, cold weather also helps keep allergies from spreading through the air. Spring may be bad, but in Texas, allergy season is year- round. Here are the biggest allergy culprits of each season. SPRING Oak, cottonwood, elm, ash, and pecan trees SUMMER Grasses (Bahia, Bermuda, orchard, sweet vernal, and Timothy) and ash fromwildfires
Each season presents its own potential allergy triggers, but keep in mind that some allergens, like mold and dust mites, are year-round problems. If you suffer from allergies, it’s important to figure out what’s causing them and what you can do to find relief. Many people are able to turn to over-the-counter allergy medications to alleviate their symptoms. If you’ve tried these medications before and still suffer from painful allergies, don’t give up hope yet! Severe allergy sufferers may need allergy testing and professional treatment to control their allergies. It’s also worth noting that, in some cases, bad nasal allergies are actually due to underlying structural problems within the nose. Whatever allergies you deal with through the year, you can find help at Texan ENT. Give us a call and talk to a doctor about your symptoms. Our sister company, Texan Allergy, may also be able to help. And if your allergies are caused by anatomical issues in your nose, we offer effective in-office produces that may be able to help you breathe easy within a week.

Roasted Radishes With Radish Greens
Radishes start showing up in droves during the spring and summer months, but all too often we only eat the bulbs raw on salads and discard the greens. This recipes bucks both of those trends, with the radishes being roasted alongside their green tops.
LAUGH!

2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• • •
3 bunches radishes with greens attached
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1. Heat oven to 500 F. While heating, trim radishes and wash greens. Pat both dry using a paper towel. 2. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat oil over high heat until shimmering.

Once removed from oven, return skillet to stove. Over medium heat, stir in butter and add greens. Cook until they are wilted, about 2 minutes. 4.
