Allergy, Asthma & Sinus Center Develops an Interactive Web Tool to Help You Avoid Allergens

Dec. 14, 2010 - PRLog -- Obviously, you aren't expected to live your life in a bubble, but there are things that can be done to minimize your exposure to specific allergens. For example, if you are allergic to dust, you can dust-proof your bedroom by using allergy-proof mattress and pillow covers. If you are allergic to pollen and/or grass, it is beneficial to keep your windows closed and to shower immediately following outdoor activities.

There are many ways to cut down on the allergens in your environment. Talk to your allergist about any information that they can provide on allergy avoidance. Live in the Greater Knoxville area? Call us at 865-584-0962 or visit http://www.allergyasc.com for more information.

You may not be able to avoid all of the things that cause an allergic reaction, but you can take specific measures to significantly lessen your exposure to the most common allergy triggers, namely, house dust mites, mold, animal dander and pollen. Understanding these major allergens and how you're exposed to them is the first step in managing your allergies.

Reducing your exposure to allergens through avoidance and environmental control is the most basic, cost effective and least invasive treatment an allergic person can have. Take control and actively participate in the management of your allergies.
