Pollen allergy
It is that time of the year again in Islamabad when hospitals and clinics are crowded with patients suffering from pollen allergy. Unofficial estimates put the number of people afflicted at 80,000 to 120,000. As has been the practice in Islamabad since spring 2004 when the Pollen Allergy Relief and Management Society (PARMS) was formed and the first pollen allergy relief camp set up to help allergy sufferers over the pollen season, eight such camps have been set up this year.
The strategy is still in the process of implementation. The city administration has had to counter resistance from environmentalists. However, there is always a way to please the pro-tree lobby — do what another capital city in the Far East has done. It has launched a Movement for Forests with Less Pollen to replace within 10 years its massive pollen-producing cedar trees with a lower pollen variety. Meanwhile, pollen allergy sufferers in Islamabad, as many elsewhere in the world, are eagerly awaiting a new cure for allergies that is expected to be out shortly.
