Spring has finally arrived and that means allergy season has
kicked off. Pollen is one of the most common factors responsible for causing
allergy during spring.
One in ten people take precautionary measures to reduce the
levels of certain allergens in their home, which include washing clothes
regularly, using air filters or humidifiers, etc.
Many people woke up with itching or skin rashes that they
could not explain the exact cause, while some thought that clothing, towel or
bed linen made them have those rashes. Here, dust or dust mites could be the
reason behind allergy.
Avoiding allergen is probably the best way to prevent any
kind of allergy. You can reduce spending time outdoors when the pollen count is
relatively high. Use special anti-allergy appliances that help you combat
allergens such as pet dander, dust mites, mould and pollen.
Additionally, you can use Haymax Hayfever Organic Drug-free Balm to prevent the pollen from
entering your nasal passages. Make sure you wash your clothes, bed linen,
bedsheets and pillows on a regular basis to keep them away from dust mites.
