Wake up and smell the coffee...literally

Dust mites thrive in fabrics exposed to warmth and moisture— especially where flakes of human skin are abundant. You can find them in mattresses, carpets, drapes, upholstered furniture, towels, clothing and stuffed animals. Their excretion is what causes your allergy, and it affects more people, more often than any other allergen.

Take these simple steps towards relief:

1. Encase your mattress, box springs and pillows in bedding protectors 2. Use a High Efficiency (HEPA) Air Cleaner to remove allergens 3. Install a quality disposable filter in your central air system 4. Clean thoroughly once a week with a quality HEPA vacuum 5. Use a dehumidifier to keep the relative indoor humidity below 50% 6. Wash your clothes and sheets once a week in hot or cold water using AllerTech® Laundry Detergent to kill dust mites in the fabric. 7. Treat all carpets, drapery, upholstery and other fabrics with a dust mite eliminator.

Mother Nature…Take A Seat There are thousands of allergens that come from outdoors and in temperate climates pollens flourish seasonally. They may bother you for only two days, two months or longer. Most of us are quite aware of these seasonal changes. It is often helpful to your allergist for you to record your reactions on a calendar and monitor the daily pollen count. This will help identify the times of the year when extra treatment is needed.

Take these simple steps towards relief: 1. Install a disposable furnace filter on your central air supply & use a filter on your window screens and air conditioner 2. Run a HEPA air cleaner to avoid inhaling these allergens 3. Use a dehumidifier to keep the relative indoor humidity below 50%. 4. Wear a face mask to limit your exposure to airborne allergens.

Run a HEPA air cleaner to avoid inhaling these allergens 4. Install a disposable furnace filter on your central air supply & use a filter on your window screens and air conditioner 5. Use a dehumidifier to keep the relative indoor humidity below 50%

Welcome The Dog Days
If you decide to keep your pet, you can take steps to reduce your exposure to these allergens. Cat allergen is contained in cat saliva. As cats groom themselves, they transfer the allergen to their hair and skin. The allergens are then broken off into tiny flakes called dander. Everywhere the cat goes, hair and dander are left behind. The same thing happens with dogs and birds. Once the allergens are floating in the air, it is all too easy to inhale them.

Take these simple steps towards relief:

1. Run a HEPA air cleaner continuously 2. Treat your pet to neutralize dander and reduce shedding 3. Treat your carpets, fabrics and bedding where dander has accumulated

Take these simple steps towards relief:

1. Run a HEPA air cleaner to avoid inhaling allergens 2. Use bedding protectors to encase your mattresses, box springs and pillows 3. Use a face mask to avoid inhaling harmful particulates 4. Monitor daily lung capacity with a peak flow monitor 5. Administer necessary medications with a nebulizer/compressor or drug delivery system
