Polymer Coating That Can Heal Itself Thanks to UV Light

....a damaged coating could heal itself in a matter of minutes or hours by being exposed to sunlight, which contains plenty of UV rays. If your car picks up a scratch at the parking garage, for instance, it might disappear by the time you arrive home.
Really?
The Claim: Hay Fever Can Lead to Other Allergies
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/17/health/17real.html?ref=todayspaper
Scientists say this occurs when the immune system mistakes the proteins in some fruits and vegetables for molecules of pollen that have a similar structure. When the fruit or vegetable protein is consumed, antibodies attack it, setting off mild symptoms that can last for several minutes and include swelling and itching in the mouth, ears and lips. As many as 70 percent of those with hay fever are affected.
THE BOTTOM LINE
An allergy to pollen can cause allergies to fresh fruits and vegetables.
