Arms & Interventions
Olopatadine Nasal Spray (Patanase)

Fluticasone Furoate Nasal Spray (Veramyst)
Intervention: Fluticasone Furoate Nasal Spray
Saline Nasal Spray (Placebo)

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Nasal Signs and Symptoms (TNSS)
Time Frame: Evaluated by the subject pre-ABC exposure, every 15 minutes during all ragweed exposures in the ABC, and post-ABC exposure
TNSS (0-12 unit scale) is defined as the sum of the four nasal symptom scores recorded for nasal itching, sneezing, rhinorrhea and nasal congestion.
Secondary Outcomes
- Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR)(Measured pre-ABC exposure, every 30 minutes during all ragweed exposures in the ABC, and post-ABC exposure)
- Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF)(Measured pre-ABC exposure, every 30 minutes during all ragweed exposures in the ABC, and post-ABC exposure)
- Headaches(Evaluated by the subject pre-ABC exposure, every 30 minutes during all ragweed exposures in the ABC, and post-ABC exposure)
