People’s Pharmacy: Beware of zombie drivers during allergy season
Driving drowsy may be almost as risky as driving drunk. People who would never get behind the wheel after drinking alcohol frequently drive while impaired and don’t even realize it.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an extraordinary number of Americans drive drowsy, and many even fall asleep: “Among nearly 150,000 adults at least 18 years or older in 19 states and the District of Columbia, 4.2 percent reported that they had fallen asleep while driving at least once in the previous 30 days.”
