Allergy Eye Doctors in Long island
There are a few things that you can do to reduce your exposure to your allergy triggers. Limit your pets access to your bed as pollen sticks to animal fur. If you are doing outside chores, such as gardening or mowing the lawn, wear a dust mask. Dry windy days as mentioned before are worse than a good rainy day which helps remove pollen from the air. Checking local news or radio stations for pollen counts help as well. Its always recommended to use a micron allergy grade filter in the house ventilation system if applicable. We tend to advocate using a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter in the bedroom. Carpets unfortunately while much more comforting when you get out of bed on a cold winter morning, tend to carry a crop load of dust, dirt and various potential allergens. It is recommended that they be vacuumed and cleaned regularly.
