Precautions to Take to Reduce the Impact of the "Top Ten Triggers for Seasonal Allergies," courtesy of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology
[U.S.A. Today, "All About Allergies and Asthma," March 16,2001]
Up to 20% of the U.S. population suffers from allergic diseases, including 35 million who suffer from seasonal allergies. Allergists recommended avoidance as the first line of defense against seasonal allergies. Here are the ten ways you can reduce your seasonal allergy symptoms:
1. Stay indoors when pollen counts are high and on windy days when pollen and dust are blown about.
2. Use air conditioning and a dehumidifier to clean, cool and dry the air.
3. Shower or bathe and change clothes following outdoor activity to remove pollen and fungal spores from your hair skin and clothing.
4. Don’t hang clothes to dry outside; instead, dry them in a vented dryer.
5. Have a friend or a family member do yard work.
6. Keep windows closed at night to prevent pollen and fungal spores from drifting into your home. Instead, if needed, use air conditioning which cleans, cools and dries the air.
7. Minimize activities when pollen counts are high. Peak pollen times are usually between 2-4 p.m., but differ for trees, grasses, and weeds.
8. Keep your car windows closed when traveling.
9. Try to stay indoors when the pollen count or humidity is reported to be high, and on windy days when dust and pollen are blown about.
10. Take your vacation to a more pollen-free area, such as the beach or sea.
Remove ALL allergens, bacteria, germs, viruses, and other indoor air contaminants from the air you breathe inside your home, office, or business by using the noodor.net 2 step ozone and odor elimination environmental air purification system.
