How to Beat Seasonal Allergies in LA

Seasonal allergies are so called because they tend to rise and fall with the cycles of the earth. Many of these are environmental in nature, meaning that they are prompted and triggered by flowering plants and the cycles of our biosphere. Here in LA, seasonal allergies are as common as the sun.

Hay fever is one of the most pernicious forms of allergy, characterized by itching, watery eyes and the miseries of spiking histamine. If you want to reduce the discomfort of hay fever, you simply must reduce your exposure, as this article describes:

• Stay indoors on dry, windy days. The best time to go outside is after a good rain, which helps clear pollen from the air.
• Delegate lawn mowing, weed pulling and other gardening chores that stir up allergens.
• Remove clothes you’ve worn outside and shower to rinse pollen from your skin and hair.

And when these measures don’t work, it’s time to move into OTC medications or prescription steroids.

There is no good reason to endure seasonal allergies if you have grown weary of the pain.
