Premier Medical Group wants you to get some relief from spring allergies. It’s all a part of “Full Circle Care”.

It seems to be taking a long time, but Spring is coming, and with it comes allergies. 35 million people in the U.S. deal with seasonal allergies.

The most common ones result from:

• Grass pollen
• Tree pollen
• Mold spores
• Dust mites
• Ragweed

Symptoms include:

• Stuffy/runny nose
• Itchy/watery eyes
• Coughing/sneezing

Here are some ideas for allergy prevention:

• Slip on some shades. Shield your eyes and lashes from allergies by wearing your sunglasses. Doing so can keep out itchy allergens.
• Shower on peak allergy days. Pollen will find its way onto your skin, so hop in the shower after you’ve been outdoors to reduce indoor allergens.
• Let steam provide some relief. Place a towel over your head, and position your face over a steaming bowl of water to thin your mucus and help you breathe better.
• Wash bedding, clothing and pets often. No matter how much you allergy-proof your home, allergens are tracked in on pets, shoes and guests.
• Lay off the hairspray. Hairsprays, gels and mousses create a perfect stick environment for pollen to latch onto.
• Use the air you have. If your air conditioner has a recycle switch, use it. Recycling air already in your home keeps from adding allergens to your space.
• Push off plans until evening. Trees tend to pollinate during the morning, so plan exercise and outdoor activities in the evening when pollen counts are lower.
• Wear a surgical mask. Covering your nose and mouth while working outside will prevent grass pollen from sticking to nose hairs.
