There are several different things that can bring annoying and at times unbearable allergy symptoms. To avoid allergens first you have to identify the culprit. When trying to identify the cause of allergy symptoms the most commonly known allergens are looked at first. Identifying the cause of your allergies can make it possible to remove them and enjoy an allergy symptom free life. In this article we will be looking at common causes of allergies and how to avoid them in your home.
Seasonal allergies are commonly a problem in spring, although they can also happen at other times of the year. This is because of the time that plants are pollinating. If you have seasonal allergies in the spring you are most likely allergic to the pollen in the air. Allergy problems in the fall can be due to the decomposition of leaves and other plants. The process can have an increase of mold spores as the last of the moisture in these leaves causes a breakdown.
Avoiding allergens is one way to keep from having problems with seasonal allergies. Pollens can be in the air and end up on your clothing, your hair and your skin. This makes it easy for you to inhale pollen, which will trigger allergy symptoms in many people. Avoiding areas that have many flowers that are in bloom is one way of cutting down your exposure, to assist this you should shower frequently when the pollen count is high. You should wash our hair and clothing daily as well. This will help to remove the pollen since that is what causes your allergy symptoms.
During autumn you will want to remove leaves from your yard as quickly as possible, this will also help your allergies by removing the cause of your allergy symptoms. If you do not remove leaves from the area you will run the risk of having them decompose and grow mold. The mold will then trigger your allergies and itchy watery eyes make it difficult to see the leaves as you are removing them at the last minute.
Dead plants, trees and fallen branches are also commonly ignored allergens. When thinking of items that might cause allergies most people don’t give proper credit to the decomposition process as being the allergen producing process that it is. Remove these when they fall, or when they first die, to reduce the amount of mold that is growing around your home since mold causes an increase in allergy symptoms.
Mold and mildew growing indoors can also cause an increase in allergy symptoms including breathing difficulties, stuffy/runny nose, sneezing and watery eyes. Breathing in mold spores is not good for overall health. When seasons change to cold weather condensation on the windows often happens, especially in bedrooms.
Wiping the window daily to remove moisture and cleaning the window track with vinegar or chlorine bleach can reduce allergens in the air by killing the mold and mildew. This condensation can also happen around the faucets and near exhaust fans. Wiping these areas with a solution of water and either chlorine bleach or water and vinegar can keep mildew under control. Using dehumidifiers to keep the humidity down can be helpful when trying to control mold growth as well.
Allergy symptoms are annoying. Once you identify the cause of your seasonal allergies you can avoid them. Cold weather usually increases the symptoms of seasonal allergies. If you remove one possible allergen and your allergy symptoms do not change you need to keep looking for the trigger. By removing one possible allergen at a time you will be able to identify the cause of your allergy symptoms.
