אלרגיה-לאהלעלות

למרות שניצני הפרחים על העצים והפרחים הפורחים הם בין המראות המשמחים של האביב, העונה מביאה עימה גם איום לעיטושים, גירויים, עיניים דומעות ותסמיני אלרגיה אחרים לאנשים רבים בעולם.

האקדמיה האמריקנית לאלרגיה, אסטמה ואימונולוגיה מציעה 10 טיפים להתמודדות עם אלרגיות והקלה על התסמינים:

נקיון אביב

עשו נקיון יסודי בתוך הבית. במהלך החורף, חלונות, מדפי ספרים ומאוורי מזגני האוויר קולטים אבק ועובש שעלולים לעורר תסמיני אלרגיה.

המנעו מאבקת פרחים

סגרו את החלונות בבית כאשר אבקת הפרחים באוויר. המנעו משימוש במאוורי חלון שעלולים למשוך את אבקת הפרחים פנימה. כאשר מכסחים את הדשא או מטפלים בגינה, לבשו מסיכת סינון. צמצמו את הפעילות מחוץ לבית כאשר אבקת הפרחים בשיאה. תקופות השיא הן בדרך כלל בין השעות 10:00 בבוקר ועד 16:00 אחר-הצהריים.

היו מוכנים

טלו תרופות לאלרגיה לפחות 30 דקות לפני שאתם יוצאים החוצה. התייעצו עם מומחה לאלרגיה או אימונולוג כדי לוודא שהתרופות שאתם נוטלים מסייעות לכם, או כאשר אתם סובלים מתגובה שלילית לתרופות.

כבסו וייבשו

כבסו את מצעי המיטה פעם בשבוע במים חמים. יבשו את הכיסה בתוך הביץ - סדינים
Wash n' dry right. Wash bedding weekly in hot water. Dry laundry indoors -- sheets hanging on outside lines can collect pollen.
De-pollinate. Shower and wash your hair before bed in order to wash off pollen that's collected on your skin and hair.
Watch pets, too. Keep pets off furniture and out of the bedroom. Pollen can cling to dogs and cats who've been outside.
Drive (and breathe) safe. During peak pollen season, keep your car windows closed. Use air conditioning and point the vents away from your face.
