Default How to Prevent Yourself from Allergens!!! - 03-26-2013, 06:34 AM

1. Keep away from ragweed.
As nights become longer in the fall, ragweed begins to release pollen. Pollen counts are highest just after dawn. Avoid from being outside as often as possible when pollen counts are high - typically on dry, warm days and early morning.

2. Do not allow ragweed to come inside.
Keep your home clean & free of ragweed by running your air conditioning as often as possible and closing your windows. Also keep car windows closed while you are driving. An air conditioner with a high efficiency particulate air filter attachment works best in the fight against pollen.

3. Do not allow outside mold to grow near your house.
Medical care for mold sickness is difficult. Therefore, it is best to avoid exposure to it as much as possible. Outside mold grows on rotting logs, compost heaps, and leaf piles. Get rid of any dead vegetation around the outside of your house. Be sure that rain gutters are clear and allow waste to travel away from the foundation of the house. Wear a mask while doing any yard work during the fall. Remove your clothing before entering the house, and wash them immediately.

4. Keep bedrooms allergy-free.
First, keep all pets out of the bedrooms since they produce animal dander and may bring ragweed and mold in from the outdoors. Cover mattresses and pillows with covers that are allergy resistant. Wash bedding weekly in hot water in order to kill dust mites. Using bleach will kill mold. Dry everything with high heat.

5. Be Hygienic
Be hygienic in every term whether it is to use napkins to wipe your face or hands or vessels to eat food as most of the allergic bacteria may be available on it. Always try to keep your napkins cloth and vessel clean and free from bacteria.

These tips will help in your fight against fall allergies and may reduce the need for medical or urgent care.

Allergies occur when a specific substance is inhaled and your body reacts in a hypersensitive way to it. That reaction of increased inflammation can show itself in many ways including allergic rhinitis, dermatitis, asthma and urticaria. Some of the more common triggers that can create these reactions are pollens, molds and pet dander. Although there is no cure for allergies, there are many preventative things you can do to help reduce reactions.
