Tips for avoiding allergens Around the House • Wash hands and rinse eyes in cold water to clear residual pollen. • Keep windows closed and the car sunroof shut. • Change air filters once a month; wash electrostatic filters. • Attic fans suck pollen into the house; don't use them. • Outdoor pets are covered in ragweed; wash them frequently and don't let pets on the bed. • Allergens linger in carpets and rugs; Vacuum frequently. Outdoors • Don't dry your laundry outside. • Shower after spending extended time outdoors. • Wear glasses or sunglasses outdoors to prevent pollen from irritating the eyes. • Minimize your activity between 5-10 a.m when pollen is usually emitted. • A prolonged rain scrubs pollen out of the air, but a brief downpour may cause settled particles to become airborne, raising pollen counts. • Avoid mowing the lawn or raking leaves; if you cannot avoid yardwork, wear a pollen mask. • Allergy sufferers should take medications at least one hour before heading outdoors.
