As the old saying goes: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." The best approach to controlling your indoor allergy symptoms is to do everything you can to limit your exposure to common allergens you are sensitive to. Dust-mites, mold spores and dander can affect us all and can be harmful to the young, old and everyone in-between. Major universities, health organizations, and the EPA warn us against the harmful effects of exposure to dust mites, mold spores, dander and their allergens.
Indoor allergens have a significant role in many asthma cases, and are a factor in various allergic ailments. Most people in homes across America and the world share their environment with common house dust mites and allergens. Keep those allergens outside by shutting your windows and switching on your air conditioner. Then, take it one step further by setting your air conditioner to recycle the air to avoid bringing in any new allergens.
Many allergy sufferers believe they should make use of a humidifier in their bedrooms for moistening their airways while they are sleeping. However, the mist that comes out of the humidifier can settle on your carpet. As a result, mildew may form and mold spores may accumulate. Instead, use a saline spray prior to bedtime in order to keep your nasal passages moist. There are an estimated 40 million Americans who suffer from indoor allergies. Here are some tips to keep your home healthy and allergen free.
