Nasal Allergy Relief Said To Arrive With New Drug
A new gel that people can apply to their nose is said to relieve common symptoms associated with nasal allergies according to The Packet Online.
Invented by a Hillsborough, New Jersey, resident named Ashok Wahi who came up with the idea when he needed to ease the nasal allergies that his daughter was suffering due to their family’s cat.
Mr. Wahi postulated that an electrostatic field could protect the nose and prevent such symptoms as watery eyes and a runny nose caused by pet dander, mold spores and other allergens floating in the air.
His solution resulted in the Chloraseptic Allergen Block and Little Allergies Allergen Bloc product line from Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc.
The Packet Online says that the gel rubs into the skin and though it has not undergone much clinical testing, it was first used on Mr. Wahi’s daughter whom he calls his “guinea pig.” Current cost for the product is estimated at $14.99 U.S.
