The sun is shining, the temperatures are rising and the days are getting longer: the arrival of spring is definitely the most awaited event of the year. Also you cannot wait to shake off the dullness and monotony of the long winter period?
There is nothing more enjoyable than spending time outdoors, enjoying the colors and the typical smells of spring!
Unfortunately, not for all the beginning of summer corresponds to well-being and good humor! Indeed ... These are just the worst months of the year! Allergies explode with all their troubles and the schedule of pollen leaves no way to sufferers.
It's all a sneeze,a runny nose and red eyes which force us to stay home.
But who said that allergy sufferers cannot enjoy beautiful days like everyone else?
There are ways that can help to relieve allergic crisis. Let's find out which ones.

1. TREAT THE SYMPTOMS IMMEDIATELY

Try to wash the nasal cavity as soon as the first symptoms caused by allergy to pollen,occur. Wash your hands and face often, especially the eyes. These should be washed with cold water and cleaned with a cotton soaked in an infusion of chamomile and rosemary before going to sleep.

2. A REFRESHNING SHOWER

If you've been out, a shower before bed is an excellent remedy to remove pollen accumulated in the hair and skin.

3. AIR CONDITIONER WITH FILTERS

An air conditioner with filters is very useful to absorb pollen at home or in your office. Of course, these filters should be cleaned very often wearing protective masks or the cleaning could be delegated to people who do not suffer from pollen allergy / mite or to technicians.
Then avoid installing fans, especially those from the ceiling, which in addition to "raising" the dust,they could spread the pollen throughout a closed environment.

4. DRY CLOTHES IN A CLOSED PLACE

Do not dry the laundry outdoors and always wash your clothes when you return home after a day outdoors in contact with pollen.
Your "pollinated" clothes may come in contact with furniture, carpets, books, curtains, sofas and the mattress itself as it is often used as a "support" for clothes.

5. ANIMALS AWAY FROM THE MATTRESS!

Try to keep, at least during the crucial season for allergies, your pet away from the bedroom, the mattress and the sheets or blankets you use. The pollen may stick to your dog or cat if it lives both inside and outside the home and be transported around your home environment.

6. KEEP CLEAN YOUR PERSONAL SPACE

Regularly remove dust from furniture using a damp cloth in order to collect pollen and dust deposits. Pay attention to the vacuum cleaner! Although it may help to keep clean your home, this can help to lift and spread the allergenic elements. Therefore we suggest its use only if equipped with specific filters.

7. CLOSE THE WINDOWS OF THE CAR

Close the windows of your car when you travel and use air conditioning with a pollen filter aiming the fans away from your face. This will help to limit the presence of pollen inside the vehicle.

8. DO NOT GO OUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER A STORM

Especially when it comes to violent and brief downpours, precipitation can only worsen the spread of pollen. It would be better to postpone outdoor activities.

9. DO NOT SMOKE

Do not smoke and do not even let other people smoke in the house. Smoking (active and passive) causes irritation of the nose mucous , eyes, throat and respiratory tract in general.
So if you're allergic and a smoker, you have one more reason to quit!

10. WEEKEND AT THE SEA

If you get the chance, do a nice weekend trip to the beach. Here pollens are scarcer and so you will have a little relief.
If you are a mountain lover, you have to go above 2,000 meters to encounter less of it.
