Allergies
Your eyes itch, your nose is running, you’re sneezing, and you’re covered in hives. The enemy known as allergies has struck again and all you want to do is curl up into a ball of misery. Here are five things you can do to avoid allergies:

1. Leave the outdoors outside: Avoid being outdoors, especially early morning and late evening, for too long and keep your windows closed with the air-conditioning on. Fans can blow around allergens and stir up dust.

2. Keep it clean: Ensure that you keep your home clean - vacuum, mop, and wash sheets and clothes often. Use special covers over your pillows and mattress.

3. Keep your pets outside: Especially keep them out of the bedroom! Ensure that they are being brushed outside and bathed weekly to reduce dander.

4. Avoid allergy inducing smells: Stay away from such things as tobacco smoke, perfumes, hair spray, soaps, and laundry detergents.

5. Avoid damp areas: Stay out of basements and keep mold-prone areas clean and dry.
