How to Avoid Allergies

Spring means beautiful blooming flowers and precious newborn baby animals. It can also mean it is time to stock up on boxes of tissues if you are like the millions of people who suffer from allergies. Keep these allergy health tips in mind to help you fully enjoy the spring season without falling victim to an allergy attack.

• Cool down – use a cold eye compress to help improve your appearance and reduce unwanted eye allergy symptoms.
• Block out the sun – wearing big sunglasses will help prevent pollen from getting into your eyes and on your eyelids, especially when it is windy.
• Take a shower – wash your hair at night if you have been outdoors to help wash away any unwanted pollen. Also, make sure to gently wash your eyelids to get any pollen off before heading to bed.
• Wear a hat – find a wide brimmed hat and wear it when you head outside to help prevent pollen from landing on the top of your head.
• Do not line dry – do not dry your laundry outside during the spring. Pollen can easily stick to your clean clothes, causing an allergy attack when you get dressed.
• Plant the right plants – there are many types of plants that look great and will not aggravate your allergies, including begonia, periwinkle, bougainvillea, gladiolus, and iris.
• Get a shot – allergy injections can help to reduce and slow down allergy symptoms, and can help to provide long term relief.
• Clean the air – while you are in the car, keep the windows rolled up and your air conditioning on the recirculate setting to help keep pollen out of your vehicle.
• Avoid hair gel – while hair gel can help you get your hair to look just right, it can also act as a pollen magnet.
