Suffering From Allergies? Try These Helpful Tips!
When it's nice outside, you might want to open your windows so you don't have to spend a
lot of money cooling the air. Unfortunately, doing so may actually invite an allergy attack. You
should try to find a HEPA filter to put on your AC. This type of filter is great for capturing
multitudes of those allergen particles. You can breathe easier when you apply this simple
change.
Except in extreme conditions, dust mites are almost impossible to avoid. They live in your
bed linens, bed and pillows. Not such a pretty picture! Soon consider investing into a
zippered covering to keep your pillow fresh and clean. Once you've done that, start washing
your linens no less than once per week in hot water, as hot water is lethal to dust mites.
If you enjoy jogging, walking or exercising outdoors, it is best to complete your outdoor
workouts in the late evening or early morning. There are lower amounts of pollen during
these times, so optimize these time periods.
Bathrooms should be ventilated to reduce mold and mildew. This sort of allergen likes an
environment that is warm and damp. Therefore, you should ensure that you hang washcloths
and wet towels on a bar, and after you shower, turn on the fan. If a fan is something you do
not own, merely crack a small window to allow for fresh air circulation.
If you are a parent of a child with food allergies and are going on a trip, keep a bunch of safe
foods with you. That is especially recommended if you are considering foreign travel.
Sometimes, certain foods will contain foods that often cause allergic symptoms, such as nuts
or soy.
Keep your windows closed, and use your air conditioner with HEPA filter to keep the air in
your home clean. By opening windows, you allow free-floating pollen to come into your house
and trigger your allergy symptoms. For best results, you should regularly replace all air-
conditioner filters; this reduces the amount of allergens in the air.
You may not be sure whether or not your pet is causing your allergies. Go to an allergist to
have a test done so you will know the cause of your allergies. Luckily, today pet allergies do
not always mean you must part with your pet. It may be possible to make positive changes to
alleviate the situation.
Remember to take medicine for your allergies when you go traveling. You never know the
kinds of new allergens that can present themselves or exacerbate your current symptoms. If
you suffer from severe allergic reactions, it is advisable you carry along an Epi-pen. This
special dose of epinephrine can thwart an emergency allergy attack.
Make sure your bathroom is always clean. Due to the quickness that mold can grow in
bathrooms, a cleaning weekly at a minimum is required. Use a bleach and water solution to
wash the walls and eliminate mold. This mixture will also prevent the growth of mold.
Now that you have read the article, you should know better about how to manage your
allergies. Just remember that these tips should be applied as they were written. You don't
have to continue suffering without action. You can make a change!
