ALLERGY RELIEF TIPS
Allergy sufferers are especially vulnerable during “ragweed” season as the watery-eyed and congested will attest. A string of warm, sunny days brings up the ragweed pollen, followed by allergic reactions. While there doesn’t seem to be any miracle cure for this type of allergy, there are ways to avoid the conditions that trigger allergic reactions. Here are some tips to help allergy sufferers:
1) Keep your windows closed in both your home and your car.
2) Avoid exercising during the peak pollen hours (5-10 a.m.)
3) Use your air conditioner or furnace fans to trap pollen in filters.
4) Be sure to shower and wash hair nightly to remove pollen.
5) Don’t dry your clothes outdoors.
6) Keep your lawn cut low, and wear a mask when cutting
7) Always wash your hands after being outside.
Little Known Foods That Can Cause Allergies
Certain foods and some food additives are known agents of allergic reactions. Even such “innocent” items as chewing gum, cake mixes, salted peanuts, and potato chips can trigger allergies because of the additive BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene). BHT can cause a sudden inflammation of the blood vessels, triggering allergic reactions in some people. If you develop a sudden skin rash or other allergic reactions, the culprit may be in some product you’ve been using or food you’ve been eating. Skip each food you suspect for a week to see if it helps.
