问题 How to deal with pollen
Although the spring brings joy of chirping birds and beauty of colorful flowers, it also brings the misery of allergies, mainly associated with pollen. For some, pollen simply triggers occasional sneezing, yet for others, it is an unbearable agony of constant sneezing and itching of every body part.
Medicines may bring relief to some symptoms, but there are other measures that should be taken to help relieve the problems pollen brings.
Remove clothes before entering the bedroom
Countless hours of sleep are lost from itching and sneezing due to pollen. Although you may have closed all your windows, pollen can still enter your house through your hair and clothing. It is recommended to wash your hair every night and remove all outer clothing before entering your bedroom to ensure a better night of sleep.
Open windows at particular time of day
Depending on where you live in the world and what you are allergic to, it might be best to open your window only at particular times of the day. For example, ragweed releases its pollen in the morning, so people who are allergic to this weed should avoid opening their windows at this time.
Keep windows covered
If you do not have screens on your windows, put sheer curtains over them whether they are open or not. Curtains will help catch pollen that enters the house through open windows and cracks and crevices. High allergy sufferers should wash curtains weekly to clear away the pollen.
Wear mask when doing yard work
Since not everybody can afford to hire landscapers during pollen season, it is essential to wear a mask while outside doing yard work. Those who are highly allergic to grass should wear a mask, earplugs, and cover their nose and mouth with a scarf or bandana. You may get hot or look unusual, but you will feel much better if you block pollen from entering your body.
