Hay Fever Remedy Explored by Professors and Procedures
An early 20th century report details Prof Daabar and Prof Decker testing hay fever remedies. Initial serum vaccination showed inconsistent results, so a nasal mucous membrane massage using cocaine to render tissue insensible was tried. The procedure uses a cotton-covered probe, applied daily for two to three minutes per nostril, sometimes extending to four minutes total. Early cases showed encouraging results with effects lasting beyond one year and sometimes into a second year.
