Those who have allergies often suffer from itchy eyes, sneezing, and a congested nose. These allergic reactions occur as the air is filled with mold spores and pollen from trees and weeds that sprout in different seasons. How can we stay symptom-free and still enjoy outdoor activities? Of course, a strong antihistamine usually does the trick if you exercisie outdoors. The school running track is a great alternative to running in the park or along the road where chemical irritants are stirred up. Avoid touching your eyes and wear a pair of sunglasses to reduce strain and irritation.

When you are indoors, mold, dust mites and pet dander can be allergy offenders. Removing carpets and having easy-to-clean bare floors will be a big improvement. Wash blankets, throw rugs, and curtains often in hot water to kill mites if a pet-owner visits. Get a dehumidifier to dry up areas prone to dampness and mold. Also, using a dryer for your wet laundry is better because hanging laundry will catch more mold spores.

Finally, shower more often. If you have been outside, allergens have probably landed in your hair and on your face and shoulders. Take a refreshing shower or at least wash your hands and face more often to keep allergy invasions at bay. Apply these tips to outsmart your allergies all year long.
