Everyone knows at least one person who is severely allergic to something, whether it is something in the environment, or even food. Sometimes, the effects of exposure to the allergen can be so bad, that you need immediate medical attention. There are a few things you can do, which will help you manage your Atlanta allergy.
Before you start taking medications for something, you first need to identify what you are allergic to. It might be pollen, dust mites, or even you trusty pet. Once you know what the problem, is you can easily find a way to avoid it. You might find that someone has a serious illness, but all along they have been confusing it for an allergy.
You might have a clean and tidy house, but still have dust mites. These animals live in warm humid places and generally, come out at night. On inhaling them, you might get a runny nose, itchy eyes, or a sore throat. Because they live in the mattress, pillow and upholstered furniture, they are hard to track and people rarely even see them.
When your house is damp there are many things that will start to go wrong, one of them being the growth of mold. These plants release spores, which trigger allergic reaction in most people. Regularly airing rooms will help to allow fresh air to circulate. This can also be done by turning on the air conditioning.
When plants start to flower they fill the air with pollen. Inhaling these particles, for some people, causes flu like symptoms. Sometimes, you will find that you cannot avoid going outside, and you will therefore, need to be properly dressed and covered, to prevent coming into contact with the grains. These particles also stick to clothes, so it is advisable not to air your clothes outside.
If you own a pet, then the fur from the cat or dog could be the problem. Unless the irritation is severe, you will not have to get rid of the animal. You should, however, try to keep them away from carpeted areas, as the fur will be left on the carpet. You will also need to keep the out of your bed room.
There are medicines and even vaccines, which are supposed to lessen the reactions the body has to certain allergens. However, the only sure way to avoid getting sick, is to stay away from the things which trigger the allergy in the first place.
