ACHOOO….. Spring is the time of year for seasonal allergies. As the trees start to bloom and the pollen is released into the atmosphere, allergy sufferers begin their annual ritual of sniffing and sneezing. Each year, 58 million Americans become victims to seasonal allergic rhinitis , more commonly known as hay fever. Although there is no magical cure for spring allergies, there are ways to fight back, from medications to household habits like removing clutter that collects dust, clean and wash curtains and bedding, changing air filters, removing carpet, and frequent cleaning and dusting. Of course one could always stay indoors, but who wants to be shut in all season?! Good luck this spring to all you allergy sufferers!
