Here are some of the things well be watching. The first the polling problems. The Clinton Campaign had to feel confident in michigan until they started to see the numbers trickle in. The polls had shown them up in some cases 20plus points. Instead, its a loss for her. What does it mean moving forward . Does she have to attack left or right to win over voters she thought she had in the bank . Is there bad data in other states . Especially in the rust belt area of the united states. That is something theyll talk about. Well see how they react tonight. Secondly, what about seeding the south . Bernie sanders has not spent much time in florida. Its a huge state. 46 delegates up for grabs. Its given out proportionately. He wants to perform well. 38 in a new poll. 48 if you look at the latino population. What can he do to stave off the losses and pick up delegates here . He has to make an impact in this particula clinton concerns, how severe are they . If youre a clinton insider you think she doesnt need this tonight and can stay on the course she has been on because they can always say the scoreboard. They can look at the map. She still as you point out came away last night despite the upset in michigan, she did so well in mississippi she comes away with a delegate gain. No need the hit the panic button.

The first debate in las vegas when he said america doesnt care about your quote unquote, damn emails. So he already took a high ground politically.

Alison itchy eyes, nasal congestion and coughing. It sounds like left over winter bugs or the beginning of the allergy season. Im joined be dr. James loomis with the barnard medical center. Good time to talk about it. Nice and warm. Feels like spring is here. Does it mean we will feel the allergy symptoms . I think so. Typically the allergy season in washington starts toward the end of march. I think with the warm weather we are starting to see the flowers come out and that means pollen. We can probably expect to experience it thro some people have allergies to mold and such. If we have a wet rainy spring we can see symptoms that linger on to the summer. Alison is there a peak in between the large window you gave us . If you look, april is the worst month. I starts to taper down to may. And diminish by the end of may historically. Alison lets talk about prevention. What can we do to tackle the awful symptoms we feel. Allergies are triggered. We breathe in pollen. They are stuck to the mucus membrane and the sinus. They trigger an allergic reaction. If you know you will be outside, during the peak pollen season. Coming in, taking a shower and rinsing off is important. Using a sinus rinse like a netty pot to rinse off the pollen at night before you go to bed is helpful. There are certain foods shown to prevent allergies. Allergies and asthma are inflammatory diseases. So food with antiinflammatory properties, the food that are high in vitamin c and e and quarsitin can prevent the symptoms. Including green tea and berries. And onions. Apples. Seeds and nuts help. Alison you are a proponent for a plantbased diet. Another question about the symptoms. How do you know if what we are feeling is allergies toker a cold or Something Else . The classic allergy symptom are itchy, running nose and sneezing. That is caused by allergic reaction. Cold are caused by bacteria or virus. The difference is although you can its gray. If you have a fever or you get cough. More sign of a viral or bacterial infection. Alison thank you for joining us today. Very helpful. Just the beginning. Back to you. Michelle thank you. Next on abc7 news at 4 00 the devastating deja vu for a shop in d.
