Enjoying the Great Outdoors But Not the Allergens

The best times of the year are those times when everyone can go outside and enjoy one another’s company through various activities. Some may go to the movies, want to go camping, do a little shopping or perhaps take the kids to the park for some refreshing relaxation. Or, at least that may be the plan.

The park is filled with a great deal of many trees that are beautiful when fully bloomed, but these trees put out some of the worst allergens around. Take the pine tree for example.

Just the simple smell of this tree will be enough to irritate the allergy sufferer with almost instant stuffy and runny noses, itching eyes that will not stop watering, nauseated stomach, burning in the throat, headaches, weakness and fatigue. Texas is notorious for Mountain Cedar and Cedar Elm.

Any time there is colder air coming through that state, so is that Mountain Cedar, which makes many people very sick, because they cannot tolerate what comes from these trees.

Stirring Up Those Allergens

Vacuuming the floor is always a necessary thing to do. When a child goes outside to play and comes back in with dirt on the shoes it will need to be cleaned up. So, just vacuum it up, or at least one might suppose it is that easy. Yet, what about those who cannot handle what the vacuum stirs up?

As the carpet is being cleaned with a suction, allergens are being stirred up and filling the air. Along with the allergens, dust and pet hair will also be brought up from the carpet and begin to fill the air. The ones who suffer from allergies begin to breathe in the dust and dirt, the results can be many symptoms, such as a feeling of being short of breath, a tight head or chest with a light feeling, nausea, eyes hurting, a sudden feeling of fatigue and weakness.

When this happens, the person needs to immediately get out of the area where the air is not filtered. If there is not any improvement get immediate medical attention.
