On this first day of spring, I wake to 5 sneezes, my husband
complains of a sore throat; my daughter has 3 of her own sneezes. The Telegraph
advises that things don’t bode well for hay fever
sufferers, saying that the weather in the past week has created the perfect
conditions for trees to start releasing their pollen.
Hay fever, which apparently in some cases can bring on asthma can
be so debilitating that it's a good idea to know you have a safe haven to go to
where allergens are kept to a minimum. This is usually indoors where windows
are generally kept shut.
Maintaining an allergen free room or 2 in your house may prove
very useful if you or any other family members are struggling this spring. This
can be achieved by combining various products and changes in lifestyle. An air
steriliser will destroy allergens in the air and on surfaces. Using the allergy
sprays will ensure that allergens on furnishings and in the laundry are kept to
a minimum. By making a habit of showering and washing your hair before going to
bed and leaving clothes outside your bedroom, you reduce the risk of bringing
pollens and other allergens into your bedroom. Also remember to keep pets from entering
your bedroom as they can not only introduce pet allergen into the room but can
also bring in pollens on their coats.
Making your bed dust mite proof with the use of either dust mite
proof barrier cases or bamboo bed linens that are believed to have naturally
occurring anti-bacterial and hypo-allergenic properties thereby deterring house
dust mite, will ensure that you are not
exposed to the dust mite allergen while you are in your bed or your bedroom.
