Here’s How to Fight Allergies in Your Home

Increased exposure to dust, pet dander and other allergens in your home can lead to minor but persistent health issues that make it harder to work and sleep. If your allergy symptoms seem worse, it may be time to examine how the air in your home is cleaned and circulated. Improving the atmosphere with an air purifier or new furnace filter can offer symptom relief, improve your mood, and reduce your spending on medication and tissues.

Indoor Allergy Symptoms

Dust mites, pet hair, mould and mildew are among the leading causes of allergic reactions at home. One or more of these common allergens could be triggering:

• Dry throat and cough

• Chronic sniffles

• Random sneezing fits

• Itchy, watery eyes

• Chest congestion

• Breathing discomfort

Drawing a deep breath in your own home shouldn’t result in a sneezing fit. Regular household maintenance and a few air-purifying appliances will help you control indoor allergens and keep your family breathing easier.
