Simple changes make a difference. Shut all windows to keep out
pollen. Use an air conditioner to cool your home instead of a fan,
which draws in air from outside.
Take off your shoes at the door and ask guests to do the same. That
keeps allergens outside.
Clean floors with a vacuum cleaner that has a HEPA (high-efficiency
particulate air) filter. These filters trap 99.97% of microscopic particles
in the air. And don't line-dry clothes or sheets in warmer weather!
They'll collect pollen while they hang outside.
Finally, don't smoke. It can make allergy symptoms worse. If you or
someone you live with smokes, now is a good time to quit. If you
start smoking again, start over.
Taking a few precautions and extra steps can be the difference of a
life lived indoors during the warmer months—or outdoors enjoying
activities, friends and animals.
