Many people think that they get sick during the summer but in reality, it’s summer allergies.

Here are some ways to fight those summer allergies:

  1.  Don’t Go Outside During Harsh Conditions

Pollen is often what makes peoples allergies act up the most especially in the spring and summer.  There are many tools online that can alert you when the pollen count is high where you live.  The easiest way to get away from summer allergies is to simply stay inside more often so that you are not affected.  

  1.  Don’t Open Your Windows

People often want to open their windows instead of spending more money by cranking the air conditioner.  If you suffer from summer allergies, it will be best to keep those windows closed when the pollen count is high.  Start running your air conditioner instead of opening your windows and you will start to feel better.

  1.  Changing Clothes After Being Outdoors

It is hard to stay out of the sun during the summer months because of how nice and warm it is.  When you do get allergies from going outside during the summer months, it is best t take a shower after and put on new clean clothes.  Shower with warm water to clear your nasal passages and get the mucus out.  

  1.  Wear a Face Guard

When the pollen count is up in those summer months and you don’t want to stay inside, masks can be extremely beneficial.  Wearing some sort of face guard can be super helpful to those with allergies when mowing the lawn or being in any areas with a lot of grass and dirt swirling in the air.
