Date: 04/14/25

Allergy season is back. And when you have allergies, spring can be a mixed bag. Nicer weather … yay! Pollen and allergens that make you sneeze and your eyes water … not so much. Try these tips to get a little relief and make it through allergy season more comfortably!

1. Ask your doctor about a test. Allergy testing has come a long way in the past decade. Find out what specific triggers your body responds to.

2. What’s the index? Most TV stations broadcast allergy forecasts during weather segments. There are also websites and apps that can alert you to conditions in your area.

3. Breathe easier inside. Crank up the AC instead of using window ventilation.

4. Filter out the bad. Change air filters regularly for the best quality air flow. Keep your carpets and floors clean and dust-free.

5. Cleanliness is power. Take a bath or shower before going to bed to keep your sheets allergen-free.

6. Diet makes a difference. Keep an eye on your food intake. Certain foods like sugars, wheat and dairy can make your allergies worse. Take note of symptoms like nausea, headache, dizziness or an itchy throat after eating. Drink plenty of water to flush and hydrate your system.

Now you’ve got the tools that will help you beat your allergies this season!
