Allergy Season – How to Prevent Severe Allergies
For 2010 the allergy season has been very tough on those that suffer from allergies because of the changes in weather over the past 12 months. Some people who usually have allergies are experiencing worse than normal symptoms.
Trees are the primary creators of the pollen causing allergies to be more severe.
A high pollen level means 90 pollen grains for every cubic meter of air.
Very high levels means there are 1,500 grains per every cubic meter of air.
Oak trees are one of the biggest contrbutors to high pollen levels.
Other trees include: Sycamore, Elm, Maple, Juniper, and white birch trees.
In the summer the soure of high pollen levels are from grass and weed pollen.
One key way to avoid pollen is to stay indoors from noon to about 3pm because the pollen levels are at their highest levels during that time of the day.
Another way is to change clothes and shower after being outdoors because the pollen can be in your hair and clothes which will cause continued allergic reactions.
Winter time tends to have the lowest pollen counts, provided you live in a cold weather season area. For those in states such as California, Arizona and Florida the pollen counts can be higher even though it is ‘winter’ time.
Immunotherapy treatment is probably the best way to treat allergies. This involves a series of injections that helps the body to develop a defense for allergies. A medical doctor is required to receive these injections.
