SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers passed Senate Bill 2211, enhancing sexual assault victims’ rights, and sent it to Gov. Tate Reeves. The bill mandates hospitals with emergency rooms to conduct rape kit exams and requires law enforcement to keep victims informed about their cases. Victims will have easier access to case information, with a seven-day response deadline for law enforcement inquiries. Additionally, agencies must notify victims before disposing of evidence. Hospitals must provide forensic exams and cannot refuse victims seeking rape kits. If signed, the law will take effect on July 1, addressing previous concerns about denied exams.

SUMMARY: Seasonal allergies, or allergic rhinitis, can affect children from age 3, especially those with eczema or asthma.

Approximately 20% of children experience these allergies, triggered by pollen and mold, leading to inflammatory responses like congestion. Prevention involves minimizing exposure by keeping windows closed during high pollen counts and showering after outdoor activities. Allergy testing can help identify specific triggers, while various over-the-counter medications, such as antihistamines and nasal sprays, are available for relief.
