HOW TO PREVENT FALL ALLERGIES

THAT TIME OF YEAR• It’s that time of year again. The mornings

are noticeably cooler, and fall is just around the corner.

• While this is a beautiful time of year, millions of allergy sufferers around the

United States dread what is to come: fall allergy season.

• At Northeast Atlanta Ear Nose & Throat, we want to help you stop your allergies before they start, and in this presentation, we are going

to give you the 4 things you can do to prevent fall

allergies, or mitigate the effects your allergies have on your overall health and well-

being.

KEEP YOUR FILTERS CLEAN• Keep the following clean as it is essential to reducing allergies:

• Air conditioning

• Furnace

• Ducts.

• Over time, allergens can build up on filters, wreaking havoc on your sinuses.

• Using a home air filtration system may help reduce the amount of allergens you are exposed to inside your home.

DON’T LET LEAVES SIT IN YOUR YARD TOO LONG

• Wet leaves are a breeding ground for mold, and many fall allergy sufferers are allergic to mold spores.

• Have someone who is not allergic to mold clean out your leaves.

• If you have to do it yourself, wear a mask and gloves!

KEEP PETS OUT OF THE BEDROOM, EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT ALLERGIC TO THEM

• Consider making some bedrooms in your house a no pet zone.

• Almost all pets spend some time outdoors, even if it is only for a few minutes a day.

• If they go outside, they can pick up pollen on their fur which can cause you to have an allergic reaction.

FIND OUT THE ROOT CAUSE OF YOUR ALLERGIES

• The best way to avoid fall allergies this season is to undergo allergy testing. At Northeast Atlanta Ear Nose & Throat, we provide allergy testing services for patients of all ages.

• We can test patients for allergies to dust, roach, cat, dog, molds, and a variety of grass, tree and weed pollens. In addition to environmental allergies, we can also test for a large number of food allergies.
