19 Tips to Avoiding Allergens That Aren't Exactly Fun to Follow

By Rick Frea, Health Pro Wednesday, June 10, 2009

 

I feel guilty (or lazy) having my wife cut the grass, so I do it myself.  Same with the garden.  Sometimes I wear a mask, but it gets awful hot and sweaty under there.  Frequently I shower when finished, but sometimes I'm too exhausted.

 

I would jog on the treadmill, but I do that all winter and simply love getting out of the house now that the weather is nice.  I can't afford air conditioning, and just love a warm breeze, so the windows are always open.  Umm, and since I work nights, I often sleep with a fan in the window. 

 

Sorry folks, I'm not Jake Gallant when it comes to avoiding those ubiquitous allergens.  I'm simply a normal guy who strives to be the best asthmatic he can be. 

 

Short of a cure, we at least have some tips to lessen the effect of seasonal allergens on our sanity -- if we so choose to accept the challenge.
