To enjoy an allergy-free summer, here are some valuable tips:

Stay Informed:

Monitor the local pollen forecast and plan outdoor activities when pollen levels are lower, such as early mornings or late evenings.

Protect Yourself:

Shield your eyes from pollen by wearing sunglasses and using a hat to cover your head. Apply a non-greasy sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun, and consider wearing loose and fresh long sleeves and pants to minimize direct contact with allergens.

Clean Up After Outdoor Activities:

When you return indoors, take a shower and change your shoes and clothes to remove any lingering pollen that may have attached to your hair, skin, or clothing.

Pack Allergy Essentials:

Before heading out for summer outings, ensure you have antihistamines or nasal sprays recommended by your healthcare provider. If you have known insect or food allergies, carry an epinephrine auto-injector in emergencies.

Choose Allergy-Friendly Destinations:

Consider visiting destinations with lower pollen levels, such as beaches with fewer allergens than grassy or wooded areas. On high pollen count days, opt for indoor activities to minimize exposure to allergens.

Communicate Food Allergies:

If you have food allergies, inform the host or those responsible for food preparation about your specific dietary restrictions, so they can take appropriate measures to avoid cross-contamination and provide safe food options.

Stay Hydrated:

Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

Here's to a joyful and allergy-free summer ahead! You can make the most of the summer by following these tips. Remember, it's always best to consult your trusted STAAMP provider for personalized advice and treatment options.
