Close Your Windows
Opening windows in the morning is only inviting pollen inside your house. It’s difficult, but resist temptation. Open them in the afternoon when pollen isn’t as high.
Take Showers
If you know you’re going to be outside, make sure you take a shower at night. It reduces your contact with allergens, so rinse off that ragweed off your skin, hair and clothes.
Don’t Bring Allergens to Sleep
Never go to bed with your street clothes. By doing this you’re inviting dust mites. Instead get some dust mite covers for your mattress, pillows, and box spring. It’s worth the expense.
Buy An Air Purifier
Buying an air purifier is another good investment if you suffer from allergies. They help clear your home from many allergens.
Neti Pot
Getting a good old-fashioned nasal irrigation can help clear nasal passages. Once pollen gets up your nose, it can get stuck on your sinuses and cause itchiness and dryness.
These simple things can make a big difference in how well you will enjoy the fall and everything it has to offer, so plan ahead!
