If spring or the sight of plants and flowers in bloom doesn’t summon a pretty, peaceful scene in your memory, we might guess that you are one of the millions who suffer from seasonal allergies. Start this spring with a plan to stay aware of your surroundings. Keep up with local news stations or newspapers as they often report on daily and weekly pollen counts and forecasts, and may do so on their websites as well. Another online resource, Pollen.com, offers online tools and mobile apps to help you find out what conditions to expect or avoid as much as possible. You can also prepare yourself with these nine ways to nip allergies in the bud.
Plus, if you’re passionate about exploring and exercising outdoors yet experience allergies and/or asthma, keep these key considerations in mind.
