Surviving Allergy Season

Protecting your family



Clear the Air
There's only so much you can do about outdoor air quality, but you can control the air quality inside your home. For starters, keep your windows shut.

Plan for Exercise
It helps your lungs and heart work better, and it builds your strength and endurance. If you choose an outdoor activity, try to limit the pollen and irritants you bring inside with you.

Rethink Your Home Decor
The surfaces in your home are as important as the air. Wash your curtains or, even better, replace them with blinds or other non-fabric window dressing. Dust items that are leather, plastic, vinyl, or wood with a damp cloth.

Clean With Care
If you can't get rid of your carpet, the American Lung Association recommends vacuuming at least three times a week using a filter mask for added protection.



Taking these simple steps can help you protect yourself and your family during the allergy season.
