If you need to be outside, there are a few ways you can protect yourself from allergy triggers:
Wear Sunglasses and Hats: These can help prevent pollen from getting into your eyes or settling in your hair.
Shower After Outdoor Activities: Rinsing off and changing clothes after spending time outside removes pollen from your body and clothing, reducing its impact on your home environment.
Check Daily Pollen Counts: Many weather apps and websites provide information on local pollen levels. Try to plan outdoor activities when pollen counts are lower.
Creating an Allergy-Free Indoor Environment
Making your home a safe haven from allergens is essential, especially during allergy season:
Clean Regularly: Dust, vacuum, and mop floors to reduce the accumulation of pollen and dust that gets tracked inside.
Use Allergen-Proof Bedding: Bedding can trap allergens, so using allergen-proof covers for pillows and mattresses can help reduce exposure at night.
Control Humidity Levels: High humidity promotes mold growth. Using a dehumidifier can help keep indoor humidity at safe levels (below 50%).
