As we've mentioned previously on this blog, "cedar fever" is in full effect throughout parts of Texas. Unfortunately, residents of the Lone Star State still have a couple months left of dealing with this affliction, which consists of an irritating reaction to Texas' most allergenic tree, so it's important for these individuals to do whatever they can to keep their symptoms under control.
Here are some simple ways you can combat cedar fever this winter:
Pay attention to local allergy levels – On days when the cedar pollen is especially ubiquitous, you may want to consider staying indoors or at least limiting your time outside.
Schedule an appointment with an allergy specialist – With the help of a physician, you may be able to find a medication that significantly reduces your symptoms and increases your quality of life.
Shower when you're ready to settle in for the night – If you've been out and about during the day, chances are you've picked up some allergens that will continue clinging to your skin, hair and clothing if you aren't careful. The last thing you want is to track these irritants inside and get them all over your furniture, so plan to take a shower and change your clothes.
Additionally, there are allergy control products you can purchase for your home that will prevent contaminants from accumulating this winter. By investing in an allergen air purifier and hypoallergenic bedding, you can ensure that you won't be bothered by allergens inside your house.
