Allergy Control Products: Allergy Air Purifier

by Allergy Guy

Honeywell-HEPA-Air-Cleaner

One of the quickest and easiest ways to reduce dust, mold, pollen and other allergy-causing particles that cause indoor allergy problems, is to run a HEPA air purifier in rooms where you spend a lot of time.

You still have to vacuum to remove dust, do everything possible to reduce mold growth, and otherwise control the source of allergens as much as you can. It is impossible to completely eliminate all dust by vacuuming, and mold can be very hard to entirely remove. A HEPA air filter will greatly reduce the amount of allergens floating around in the air.

Allergy Control Products

by Allergy Guy

Some types of allergies are best controlled by avoiding the allergen. Food is an excellent example of this. If you are allergic to wheat, don’t eat it!

Other types of allergen are much more difficult to suppress. Air-borne allergies are a good example of this. You can vacuum every day, but you will never be able to eliminate all dust or dust mites from your house (unless you live in the mountains).

  3. Comments for the sake of a link

    4. Comments like “nice site” will be deleted. If you truly want to complement me on the site, leave the URL field blank!

Yeast Allergy

by Allergy Guy

Yeast allergy can cause a lack of energy and many other symptoms.  Here are some causes and how to avoid yeast.

There are two causes of yeast allergy symptoms:

  1. An allergy to foods with yeast in them, such as bread, beer and wine.
  2. Candidiasis, a yeast infection in the body.

In the first case, the best way to control the allergy is to avoid eating foods with yeast in them. In the second case, the only way to control the allergy is to eliminate the infection.

Both yeast problems are characterized by feeling slow and fatigued, and may be accompanied by any number of other allergic symptoms that are unique to each individual.

New Section: Air-Borne Allergies

by Allergy Guy

I’ve been thinking about this section for a while: information about air-borne allergies. Not everyone has severe reactions to air-borne allergens, but I suspect a great many people have reactions to dust and mould without realizing it. Some people, like myself, are allergic to these allergens and know it, but I believe such allergens are often ignored, except in severe cases such as asthmatics or others with severe reactions.

I think that improving air quality helps everyone feel better.

Air-Borne Allergies: Dust

by Allergy Guy

dust-X-12k

household dust x12,000

Dusting the house always seemed like something you had to do, because if you didn’t your house was dirty. That was about it. If you are busy and don’t care about a “dirty” house, you can let the dusting slide, right? After all, dust just consists of tiny particles, how can something so small be bad? I have better things to do!

Unfortunately, there are solid health-based reasons for dusting, as any asthmatic will tell you. Can you therefore ignore the dusting if you aren’t asthmatic, and not about to become one any time soon?

Dust is bad for everyone. If you have allergies, then it is very definitely bad for you.
