Controlling Allergens: In the Home

Image

Avoid yard work that increases your exposure to pollen, like mowing and weed-pulling. If that’s not possible, wear a filter mask. When you’re done, change your clothes and wash your hair.

Even a clean home can be full of allergens, so take a moment to see what you can do to cut down on allergens in each room of your home. Try to avoid things like cigarette smoke and perfume that can irritate your nose and make your allergies worse.
