If you’re like me, you’re a seasonal allergy victim. My apologies to you dear reader! Here are a few tips and tricks to get you through allergy season.
- Medicine to heal the soul, and your runny nose
-
Whether it be an over-the-counter pill or nasal spray, find the solution that works best for you!
Pro tip: don’t wait until you’re feeling symptoms to take the medication, take it as a preemptive measure.
- Don’t Roll around in the grass
-
Avoid your allergen triggers! This one is easy but often overlooked. After all, it’s tempting to smell the roses every once in a while.
- Keep it clean
-
Wash your clothes, or alternatively, change your outside clothes once you’re settled back inside for the day. Unfortunately, pollen is stubborn and will stick to your clothes and shoes.
- Stay indoors
-
This applies to the days or times when the pollen count is high. So if you’re going out, do yourself a favor and check the pollen count.
- Consider moving
-
Haha, I got you! You shouldn’t feel like you have to move cities. If you feel this way, it’s a sign to address your new or ongoing symptoms. Best of luck to y’all, my fellow allergy sufferers!
