Allergy Tips - Summer

Warm temperatures and high humidity can put a strain on seasonal allergy and asthma sufferers. It’s a peak time for certain types of pollen, smog, and sometimes mold. Here are some survival tips. Protect yourself during prime time. Stay indoors between 5 and 10 a.m., when outdoor pollen counts are usually highest. Avoid extremes. Going from intense outdoor heat to high air conditioning can trigger an asthma attack. Be careful. Keep pollen outdoors. When mowing the lawn or being around freshly cut grass, wear a mask, such as an inexpensive painter’s mask. Take a shower, wash your hair, and change your clothes to remove pollen that may have collected in your clothes and hair. Dry laundry indoors, not on an outside line. Patrol your yard. If you’ve got weeds such as nettle or ragweed, they could be triggering your allergy problems. Oak, birch, cedar, and cottonwood trees are also irritants. Beware of bees. If you’re allergic to bees, wear shoes, long pants, and sleeves. Do not wear scented deodorants, hair products, or perfumes. Take care when traveling. Pack your medicines with you in a carry-on bag. Bring an extra supply of medicines in case you need them. If you need an allergy specialist while on vacation, you can get names and numbers at www.aaaai.org, the web site of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, Immunology.
