Get rid of parthenium to prevent colds

Special Correspondent

BANGALORE: The cold nights have led to a spate of sniffles and coughs in the city.

Doctors blame it on the high pollen count, particularly from the parthenium weed. An effective remedy to solve the problem is to get rid of the weed by spraying salt water liberally on it. As for the polluted air, emulate the traffic cops.

Get a pollution mask from a medical store and wear it when you are most susceptible usually early mornings.
