Allergy Prevention Part-04
Final (Tips 44-49)
Health Tips 44: If you have
allergies with pollen then it is recommended to take a bath before going to
sleep at night. It is difficult to avoid pollen but reducing your exposure can
be attainable. Stay inside especially on hot, dry and windy days. Always close
your windows and doors with your air conditioner on.
Health Tips 45: A carpeted
floor is not recommended for those with dust allergies. It will trigger
sneezing and itchiness continuously. Otherwise, purchase a vacuum cleaner to
clean it more often. Bed covers should also be changed often to keep from
setting in. Leaving your footwear outside your room is also a good idea to
prevent more dust.
Health Tips 46: It is best not
to share your bedroom with your pets especially if you have allergies. Place
them in a separate room to avoid inhaling their hair and dead skin cells. Sometimes
others who have different type of allergy may develop allergic reaction to pets
more often to those who share bed with their pets.
Health Tips 47: Wear gloves and
mask when cleaning your house to prevent inhalation of dust. Keep your stuffed
toys in a sealed plastic wrap. Always wash floor rags to prevent growth of
molds. Make sure to clean under your bed and always use a damp cloth to wipe
dust off.
Health Tips 48: If you have
skin allergies such as contact dermatitis, you should know the surface or
texture that you are allergic to. Most common causes of skin allergies are fake
jewelries, leather-made materials and metals. If you are allergic to these,
make sure that you will place a cloth or cover to prevent a direct contact to
your skin.
Health Tips 49: Wash skin surface with cool
water and mild soap immediately after you developed rashes and itchiness from a
known chemical irritant. Don’t scratch to prevent wound and further infection.
You may use calamine lotion to treat itchiness but not in the face area or near
the eyes. If rashes will continuously develop, seek for medical help.
