Tips For Limiting Misery From Ragweed
Ragwood
season started this week and it will be intense.
So, grab the tissues and start taking your allergy
medicine now! Here are some tips for ragweed
suffers to ease your symptoms and weather the
hay fever season.
--Limit time outdoors, particularly between
6 a.m. and 10 a.m., when pollen levels usually
are highest.
--Avoid yard work; wear goggles and a dust mask
if necessary.
--Keep windows up; use air conditioners and
air purifiers at home and in the car.
--Use a clothes dryer; don't hang laundry outside.
--Shower or change clothes after spending time
outdoors to avoid tracking pollen through your
home.
--Wipe pets' fur to remove pollen before bedtime.
--If you wear contact lenses, switch to one-day
disposable ones or wear glasses during peak
ragweed season.
--Try over-the-counter antihistamines and eye
drops for minor problems; for serious allergies,
visit a doctor to get prescription medicines
from pills to steroid nasal sprays.
--Avoid honeydew, cantaloupe, bananas and chamomile,
which can exacerbate ragweed allergies in some
people.
