Learn All You Need To Know About Allergies

By Kimberly Duna


If you are plagued with sniffling, sneezing, or itching eyes and throat, you may be one of the millions of people afflicted with allergies. The symptoms can be easily confused as having a common cold, but it could be managed! Keep reading for some effective tips for coping well with your allergy symptoms.

If you can, do not put large rugs or carpeting in your home. Keeping carpet spotless and clean is practically a lost cause; the fibers can house vast quantities of mites, pet dander, dust and other common allergens. Try to install floors that can be mopped and swept with ease.

Be sure to wash thoroughly before you lay down for the night. Your hair and body collects allergens throughout the day, and can cause nighttime allergies to occur while you sleep. Just hop in for a quick wash, then sleep soundly.

It is impossible to avoid dust mites. They live in pillows and mattresses. Eww! In order to manage this problem, use zippered pillow cases and mattress covers. You also want to do a weekly washing of all of your sheets in piping hot water to keep your bed clean.

If you're planning outdoor exercise during high-pollen season, do it either early in the day or late at night. Studies show that pollen levels are lowest at these times of the day and you will be most comfortable.

Though it may be unpleasant to do, keeping windows closed can prevent many allergens from entering the home. If your windows are open, pollen can collect in your home and cause your allergies to worsen. Prevent allergy symptoms by cleaning filters that are in your air conditioner and vents.

Clean your car often and keep it closed so that you can prevent at least one potential allergen source. If you run the air conditioner and consciously keep vents closed, you will be able to keep allergens such as pollen out of the vehicle. Vacuuming your car regularly will keep the seats free of anything that might accumulate. Without doing this, you can see an increase in your attacks.

Don't let embarrassing allergy symptoms stop you from doing things you like; take control of them. Learning about your options is the first step and managing them is the next. Keep this article's advice in mind when coping with allergies!
