COPING WITH
FOOD ALLERGIES
Allergy to one or more
foods is certainly not a rare oc
currence. The symptoms in
clude hives and itching as well
as gastro-intestinal distur
bances such as pain, cramping
and diarrhea. g‘ood allergies
are more common in infants
and children but appear in
adults as well. Symptoms can
be cured by avoiding the of
fending food or foods com
pletely.
Food allergy is thought to
stem from the body's
response to a foreign protein
fragment. Generally, such pro
teins are broken down durin
the process of digestion ang
absorption, but in some peo
ple, especially infants, the in
testinal ~wall may be
somewhat ‘‘leaky."’ This
means that certain proteins
may be absorbed whole or
nearly whole into the
bloodstream where the body
quickly sets up a defense. Part
of the defense includes the
release of lar%e amounts of a
chemical called histamine
which can result in hives and
itchness.
The allergic reaction may
take two forms — rapid or
delayed. In the rapid reaction,
symptoms appear within
minutes of the time when the
food is eaten. This kind of
reaction usually makes it eas
to identify the offending fooci
The most common causes of
the rapid type of reaction are
fish, seafoods, berries, nuts
and egg whites.
The delayed reaction, on
the other hand, may take
hours or even a gay to
develop. Allergic syptoms,
however, rarely take more
than two days to develop.
This type of reaction makes it
quite difficult to identify the
offending food. Common
causes of this kind of reaction
are cereal %rains. milk,
oran%es‘ chocolate and beans.
Allergic symptoms may
vary, however, according to
whether or not other factors
are present. Emotional stress
may, in some -instances,
heighten the allergic response.
Raw foods may prove more
allergenic than cooked foods.
Therefore, an individual may
not have symptoms if the
cooked food is eaten, whereas
he or she may develop reac-

tions if the food is eaten raw.
Furthermore, there is a
cumulative effect. The food
may not cause symgtoms the
first time it is eaten but may if
that food is eaten for several
days in a row. Allergies also
tend to run in cycles. A person
m?' suffer for a period of days
and then find that he can eat
the offending food for awhile
without symptoms. Lastly,
there is a multiple effect. A
small amount of one food may
not lFroduce symptoms but
small amounts of two or three
foods to which the person may
be sensitive can trigger an
allergic reaction.

Sewage Plant
Expansion Is
Eyed By City
The Summerville City Coun
cil, meeting in special session
Monday evening, executed a
contract to devefiop a plan for
enlarging the City's waste
water treatment plant (seen
above). The council met for a
2-hour meeting and hired the
consulting firm of Welker &
Associates of Marietta to
come up with the study. The
initial study’s cost cannot ex
ceed $4,000 unless the firm
has the permission of the City.
City leaders believe that the
expansion of the plant is a
logical move following the re
cent expansion of the City
water system. The waste
water treatment plant is cur
rently running at or above its
capacity — 2 million gallons a
day — as the guage (in picture
at left) at the plant shows.
Without the expansion, accor
ding to city officials, in
dustrial growth is virtually
impossible.
The demand for natural
fiber cotton has increased
rapidly in the last few years.
One reason, according to Ex
tension Service home
economists, is because
research has improved cot
ton's ease of care and
wearability. The home
economists offer this cotton
care tip: Any blouse or man'’s
shirt with 100 percent cotton
should be ‘“‘bone’ dry before
it is removed from the
automatic dryer.

The Summerville News, Thurs., Sept. 3, 1981
Cable hunting season is
unofficial, of course, but the
damaqe seems to be in
evitable, according to General
Telephone's local manager
G. C. Pickle. He noted that a
single shot cable can result in
interrupted telephone com:-
munications for ?mndreds of
persons,
“If a hunter should shoot a
cable, as few as one or as
many as hundreds of our
customers could be without
service, depending on the size
of the cubfi!. It could take us
hours to locate the damage

and then additional hours of
meticulous splicing to rejoin
the individual cable pairs,”
Pickle noted.
He reminded hunters that
the telephone is the only link
to the rest of the wor{d for
many elderly or sick persons.
‘““A shot cable also means
that persons needing to use
those lines cannot reach
hospitals, ambulances,
firefighters, or law enforce
ment officers in times of
emergency,’’ he added.
Pickle asked that angone
noticing a damaged telephone
cable report it as soon as
possible to GTE's repair ser
vice. The number is 857-3429.
“Telephone communica
tions is too vital a service to
sacrifice to a wild shot,”
Pickle concluded.
