Its not your imaginationspring allergy season really is getting worse every year.
(Thanks, climate change.)
(Veteran allergy sufferers are probably doing these things already.)
First of all, pollen comes from the outdoors.
So do your best to keep it there.
In the car, the recirculate button will keep outdoor air outside.
The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of Americarecommendsthe following:
Take off your shoes when you come inside.
Change and wash your clothes after youve been outside for a while.
Shower and shampoo your hair before bed.
Towel pets off when they come indoors.
Wash your bedding once a week.
The most pollen is in the air in the early morning and around dusk.
Carpets, for example, can trap pollen.
They can also harbor other allergens, like dust and dust mites.
Regular cleaning also helps.
Get into the habit of vacuuming frequently, ideally with a vacuum that has aHEPAfilter to trap small particles.
Consider an air purifier as well.
These devicesfilter allergens out of the airand some people find they help reduce symptoms.
Maybe you oughta pay more attention to mold than to plant pollens, for example.
The more you know, the more targeted an approach it’s possible for you to take.
