TAMING THE AH-CHOOS IN ALLERGIES
If you’re sneezing more than ever these days, you’re not alone. More than 40 million Americans suffer from nasal symptoms of seasonal allergies. And depending on where you live or your environment, the allergy season can span all year. According to the American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI), pollen and mold are the chief culprits of seasonal allergies. Although you can’t avoid every pollen particle or mold spore in the air, you can lessen your exposure with these simple suggestions: • Keep windows closed at home and in the car, and use air conditioning if needed. • Stay indoors when pollen or mold counts are high, or wear a pollen mask when outside. For up-to-date pollen counts in your area, see AAAAI’s National Allergy Bureau. You can even sign up for email alerts or download a smartphone app that tracks these counts. • Avoid touching your eyes or nose, and be sure to wash your hands, hair, and clothing after being outdoors. • Don’t hang clothing or linens outside to dry. • Wash bedding and stuffed animals in hot water weekly, and vacuum and dust inside your home often. Your health FSA funds can be used toward doctor’s visits, tests, and treatments. And, if prescribed, you can also use your funds for over-the-counter allergy medicines such as Actifed, Benadryl, or Claritin. Learn more… Source: American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology
