Great Tips On How To Manage Your Allergies

By Elaine Red


Life can be challenging; we do not need allergies to add to its complications! If you suffer from terrible allergy symptoms, then read the following article. Read on for great advice on controlling your allergies so that you can enjoy life again.

If you have the chance to choose, avoid placing large rugs or carpets in any rooms inside your house. Carpet is very hard to clean and the fibers inside the carpet hold onto mites, dusts, pollen, dander and other particles that could irritate allergy sufferers. Stick to flooring that is easily swept and mopped.

Before retiring, shower and shampoo your hair. Pollen gathers on the skin and in your hair. This can cause allergy symptoms while you sleep. Even if you only spend a few minutes in the shower, you will be doing yourself a great favor.

There is no way that you can avoid dust mites. As their name suggests, they love to make their home in mattresses and pillows, dining on shed skin flakes. They can't be seen easily, but they are there and contribute to allergies for some people. Create a hostile environment for mites by purchasing zippered hypoallergenic cases and covers for your pillows and mattress. You also want to do a weekly washing of all of your sheets in piping hot water to keep your bed clean.

If you experience your allergy symptoms like clockwork, watch that clock. Between 5 and 10 o'clock in the morning, there is a lot of pollen out that can make you have allergic reactions. If you have no choice but to go out during those hours, don't undertake strenuous activity and don't stay out for too long.

Pollen counts are higher and lower at different times of the day. Try to make the times you go outside happen in the wee morning hours, or late at night. Studies have shown pollen counts are lowest during these times.

Stay well-hydrated to combat allergy symptoms associated with bronchial sensitivity. If you're deprived of fluids, your mucous membranes can become inflamed or dry. Dehydration can affect your bronchial tubes since it makes the mucous membranes create secretions that are hard to break-up.

Education is always the key to avoiding any type of allergies. Even if you cannot completely avoid them, you can at least learn how to treat the symptoms. Learn about all your options, and apply what you've just learned here. Avoid spending another day suffering from allergies. Take charge of your symptoms.
