Avoiding Seasonal Allergies All Year Long

There are several different things that can bring annoying and at times unbearable allergy symptoms. To avoid allergens first you have to identify the culprit. When trying to identify the cause of allergy symptoms the most commonly known allergens are looked at first. Identifying the cause of your allergies can make it possible to remove them and enjoy an allergy symptom free life. In this article we will be looking at common causes of allergies and how to avoid them in your home.

Seasonal allergies are commonly a problem in spring, although they can also happen at other times of the year. This is because of the time that plants are pollinating. If you have seasonal allergies in the spring you are most likely allergic to the pollen in the air. Allergy problems in the fall can be due to the decomposition of leaves and other plants. The process can have an increase of mold spores as the last of the moisture in these leaves causes a breakdown.

Dead plants, trees and fallen branches are also commonly ignored allergens. When thinking of items that might cause allergies most people don't give proper credit to the decomposition process as being the allergen producing process that it is. Remove these when they fall, or when they first die, to reduce the amount of mold that is growing around your home since mold causes an increase in allergy symptoms.

Wiping the window daily to remove moisture and cleaning the window track with vinegar or chlorine bleach can reduce allergens in the air by killing the mold and mildew. This condensation can also happen around the faucets and near exhaust fans. Wiping these areas with a solution of water and either chlorine bleach or water and vinegar can keep mildew under control. Using dehumidifiers to keep the humidity down can be helpful when trying to control mold growth as well.

Allergy symptoms are annoying. Once you identify the cause of your seasonal allergies you can avoid them. Cold weather usually increases the symptoms of seasonal allergies. If you remove one possible allergen and your allergy symptoms do not change you need to keep looking for the trigger. By removing one possible allergen at a time you will be able to identify the cause of your allergy symptoms.
