Home Allergy Triggers Every Family Should Know

Fast Fact:

Indoor air is actually five times more contaminated than outdoor air. This means that indoor air pollution is a serious problem that shouldn’t be ignored. Some 50-million Americans (one in every five people) suffer from some form of allergy. 

Airborne Allergens

Airborne allergens which trigger our allergies, sinuses and nasal congestion are ever present. They cause the sneezing, runny nose, itching, and bloodshot eyes of hay fever (allergic rhinitis). Airborne allergens can also affect the linings of the lungs causing asthma — wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.

See the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology website and their article on Diagnosing Allergies for more information.
