It does not take much to prevent an allergy. If you are careful about small things, you can keep away from the discomfort of having to deal with an allergy. Now you can keep away the allergens that cause you so much misery by coughing, sneezing or skin rashes. Do you want to know how? Read on.
Allergies can be caused due to seasonal factors such as the pollen grain from flowers during springtime or it can be due to other factor such as food or dust. All you have to do is take steps to keep these irritants away.

Keeping Your Home Free From Allergens
The first thing to do is to keep your home allergen free. For this, you may want to keep your house dust free. Do not use mops, brooms, rags and sponges as they themselves carry germs. Use cleaning tools made of ultra micro-fibers that clean not just dust but also germs. Avoid putting carpets on the floor. Instead, go for floors made of hardwood. It is also good to wash your bedding regularly in hot water. If you have a basement then use dehumidifiers as dampness allows moulds to grow.

Be Careful Of Pollen
If you are allergic to flower pollen, then reduce houseplants. It will be advisable to wear a mask if you cut grass. If you happen to go out a lot make sure you regularly bathe to remove all pollen that may be stuck on you. Moreover, if you like walking in the park, then reduce the time spent there to the minimum. It would not be a big price to pay for keeping yourself free from allergies.

Know What You Are Eating
If you are allergic to certain food then make sure you make sure you know the ingredients of the food that you eat. It is also important to let others know of your allergies so that they are sensitive about your food habits especially while eating outside of home.
Other Small Things That You Can Do
Always remember to keep out anything that attracts dust that can trigger off an allergic attack. For instance, do not keep too many stuffed toys or picture frames or uninteresting showpieces, which only act as dust collectors. Try to be in air-conditioned environment always.

It is often said that you have to give something to get something. If you want to prevent allergies, then you may have to be extra careful about small things especially about keeping your surroundings clean.

By: Colbysmom | 02-10-2008
My 22 month old son seems to have some allergies to pollen in the area of Granite Bay, California, near Roseville, about 30 minutes from Sacramento. I was wondering if anyone knew about pollens specific to this area? I was considering moving my son and me from this area to the area of Santa Rosa to relieve some of his allergies. He gets watery eyes, sneezes, and an itchy nose. How would I compare areas and the pollen in the air in each area? Please help. Thank you!!!

Coughing
By: denmim | 11-09-2008
My 12 year old son has had a nagging non stoppable cough for about a week now. I have given him every conceivable medicine out there, mucinex, claritin-d, benedryl, sudenefrin,delsym, homeopathic remedies, and nothing seems to squelch the cough. The cough comes with a stuffed nose and runny nose. He describes it as a tickle. By the end of the day his throat is raw and he is suppressing the coughs. Honey seemed to work for a bit, but the cough comes back stronger. If I take him to the pediatrician, and there's no fever, I get no other prescriptions for a stronger strength of anything (cough medicine, allergy meds, etc.) out there. I know you're supposed to let the body heal naturally, but I am at a loss. Any suggestions?

The Modern Lily Tomlin
By: Galina Nemirovsky | 29/09/2008
I’m waiting in a conference room that smells like the corner of career aspiration and stale office carpet. The overly heavy and overly bitter receptionist has a voice that is piercing through the makeshift conference room with walls that only go up about 7 feet. Like an annoying hiccup, she keeps repeating “Good morning, Hudson. Your name? Hold please.” Over and over again. She is an extra large version of what the rest of the world has automated already.
