| Hurricane Isaac Could Stir Up Allergies, Asthma Experts say levels of pollen and mold typically rise after these types of storms | |

(HealthDay News) -- Dangerous winds and flooding aren't the only hazards posed by Hurricane Isaac as it pounds Louisiana and Mississippi.
The dramatic climate changes triggered by the storm may also cause mild to life-threatening allergy and asthma symptoms, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
Experts say the hurricane's heavy rains will wash away ragweed pollen currently in bloom, but once the rain clears, pollen counts can skyrocket. Cold and warm fronts, as well as winds created by the storm, can also boost levels of both pollen and mold, two major allergy triggers.

by by Aaron Derfel, GAZETTE Health Reporter | montrealgazette.com
QUEBEC - The death toll from the outbreak of legionnaires' disease increased by one to a total of nine in Quebec City on Wednesday, as public-health authorities sought additional help in their inspection of buildings that are suspected of harbouring the deadly Legionnella bacteria.
Authorities also reported that the number of people infected with the non-contagious bacterial illness surged to 141 from 126 on Tuesday in what is one of the biggest outbreaks of legionnaires' disease in Canada in at least 25 years.
The outbreak is now in its sixth week, with no signs of having peaked.
Dr. François Desbiens, director of public health in the provincial capital, said that the team of municipal and public-health inspectors will now receive help from the Régie du bâtiment, in charge of the province's buildings.
