Former U.S. Representative Beto O’Rourke visited Texas Tech Friday for a student meet-and-greet in the Free Speech Area as part of a two-day Lubbock visit focused on voter registration and mobilization ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm election.

Powered By People organized Friday’s campus event and a Thursday gathering at The Garden, where O’Rourke said more than 400 people attended to prepare for the election.

The organization, a progressive political action committee founded by O’Rourke to support state political organizers, used the meet-and-greet as an opportunity to check voter registration and connect voters with its app, Reach, where volunteers share election information and reminders.

“The number of young people in Lubbock who have been registered so far this year, it’s just off the charts,” O’Rourke said Friday.

As the seasons begin to change, students may notice more sneezing, congestion and other symptoms associated with allergies, colds and the flu.

Texas Tech healthcare providers explain what causes allergies to spike during the fall, how allergies differ from illnesses and how students can help prevent the spread of infections.

“The fall is a time when weeds pollinate. In West Texas, it’s a mixture of ragweed and other weeds,” said James Tarbox, M.D. Physician, allergist and immunologist. “When that pollen gets up in the air, that’ll cause you to have itchy, watery eyes, runny nose, congestion. For some people, (it) can cause wheezing or occasionally skin symptoms: itchy, red skin.”

According to WebMD, fall allergy triggers are different from spring and summer but they can cause many of the same symptoms. Ragweed is one of the most common allergy triggers during the fall.
