Summer? It’s Here and the Allergies Too
I can’t believe it is already time for school to be out and the pool to be open and to spend mounds and mounds of time outside! I can’t believe it but I’m so excited! I absolutely love summer! What I don’t love are the allergies that come along with it. It’s pretty much inevitable though. Is there anything that can be done? Absolutely! You can’t avoid it all together, but you can take steps to make it more manageable. Here is a list of just a few things that might help in this summer allergy season:
“How to Deal With Summer Allergies
Here are tips to help you avoid summer allergy triggers.
• Try to stay indoors whenever the pollen count is high.
• Keep your doors and windows closed whenever possible to keep allergens out. Use an air purifier.
• Clean air filters in your home often. Clean bookshelves, vents, and other places where pollen can collect.
• Wash bedding and rugs in hot water to eliminate dust mites and other allergens.
• Wash your hair, shower, and change clothing after going outside to wash away pollen.
• Vacuum often. Wear a mask, because vacuuming can kick up pollen, mold, and dust trapped in your carpet. Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter.
• Wear a mask when you mow your lawn to avoid grass pollen.
• Keep the humidity in your house between 30% and 50% to prevent the growth of dust mites.”
