Pine pollen making annual presence known
Submitted by paula on Tue, 06/16/2015 - 4:28pm
If you've been in Lake Tahoe this week you know that it is pine pollen season. The light winds have even made the annual spreading of the yellow powder even more evident, that is, if the sneezing and pollen covered cars weren't enough of a clue.
As a long time resident of South Lake Tahoe I just take the arrival of pollen as I do the changing of the seasons, but I thought a little research would help us understand causes, and cures, a bit more.
The Cancer You Haven’t Heard About
Submitted by paula on Sun, 04/19/2015 - 7:40pm
April 12 to 18 was national Oral, Head, and Neck Cancer Awareness Week. Cancer from the neck up is typically associated with the tongue, throat, and voice box. But oral, head, and neck cancers can also occur in the mouth, lips, thyroid glands, nasal cavity, or sinuses.
Traditionally, tobacco and alcohol users were considered the populations at greatest risk. Now, according to new research from the American Academy of Otolaryngology, about ten percent of new cases of oral cancer is attributed to human papillomavirus, or HPV, a sexually transmitted infection.

In September, South Tahoe Now announced that SUP Tahoe would be converted into Soup Tahoe during the non-summer months where stand up paddling isn't as popular.

Oral, Head, and Neck Cancer Awareness Week
Submitted by paula on Sat, 04/19/2014 - 11:05pm
April 20 to 26 marks the 17th annual Oral, Head, and Neck Cancer Awareness Week. In 2014, 55,000 Americans will develop cancer of the head and neck. Though 13,000 people will die from this disease, most cases are preventable.
Causes of Oral, Head, & Neck Cancer
Tobacco use is the most common and preventable cause of head and neck cancer. Tobacco products include cigarettes, snuff and chewing tobacco. Switching from smoking to smokeless products only changes the risk of lung cancer to a risk of oral cancer.
