pollen pollen About Pollen Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) is perhaps the best-known allergy of all. Many people associate this type of allergy primarily with outdoor exposure to pollen. However, you may also experience significant levels of pollen at home, and these exposures can also trigger allergic rhinitis symptoms. Most pollen is windborne; they can often blow indoors (typically through open windows and doors) and trigger allergic symptoms such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever) within your home, not just outdoors. Wind-pollinated trees, grasses, and weeds produce pollen during various times of the year. Take the following steps, especially during periods of high pollination, to avoid excessive exposure to pollen: Avoid intense outdoor activities, such as exercise or strenuous work, during the early morning and late afternoon hours when pollen counts are highest. If you need to work outside, wear a pollen and dust mask. Close windows and run a HEPA air conditioner and air purifier. Make sure to clean and replace your air conditioner and air purifier filters regularly. Wash your hair before going to bed to avoid getting pollen on your pillow. Use a clothes dryer instead of hanging the wash outside, where it acts as a filter trap for pollen. You may like the idea of fresh, air-dried laundry, but your target organs won't enjoy the allergic reactions that all the fresh pollen triggers -- especially if you hang sheets and pillowcases out on the line. pollen - Visit our site for more information about: pollen |
