Prevention tips for seasonal allergy season
Dealing with seasonal allergies is a miserable experience. Thankfully, there are some things you can do to prevent and ease your hay fever symptoms. Try these tips:
Avoid going outdoors when pollen counts are high. You can check your local weather for pollen counts in the morning.
Seal up your house. Keep your doors and windows shut.
Replace the air filters on your furnace and air conditioner regularly.
If you go outside for a long period of time, wash your hair when you come inside. This can help to clear out pollen and other allergens.
