Hay Fever

- Spring clean! Don't forget all nooks and crannies where dust may have accumulated during the winter.
- Stay indoors when pollen counts are high, usually between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Get up-to-date pollen information for your area from the NNational Allergy Bureau .
- Take medications at least 30 minutes prior to outdoor activity. Consult with an allergist/immunologist to get appropriate medications.
- Shut windows in your house and/or car when pollen counts are high. Avoid using windows or fans that may draw pollen inside.
- Wash bedding weekly in hot water, and dry them, as well as other laundry indoors.
- Shower and wash your hair before bed - pollen can collect on your hair and skin.
- Keep pets off of furniture and out of the bedroom. Pollen can cling to the dog or cat after being outside.
- When mowing lawn or gardening, wear a filter mask.
When none of these work in alleviating your suffering, consult a board-certified allergist or immunologist to get appropriate treatment. Can't decide if it's time to go to the doc? Read the rest of the article here.

I find that increasing the humidity level in the house also helps.
