These four steps will help you reduce or even prevent allergy attacks.

• Keep your windows closed in your home and car to avoid letting in pollen, especially when the local pollen count is high.
• Limit outdoor activities during high pollen days, outside exposure during those times can be extremely helpful for diminishing your allergies.
• Wash your face and hands after you’ve been outside to remove pollen. Also, change and wash clothes if they’ve been exposed to pollen.
• Visit your allergist. Be consistent with your allergy medications for best results.
