The Healthy way to treat allergies

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

How to improve the quality of life of one allergic person:

Allergies and its inconvenient symptoms are responsible for the reduction the quality of life and even loss of productivity at school and work.The main way to avoid allergies is to prevent allergens to be inhaled by people. For that to occur, two measures need to be taken: to treat the air (contamination means) and to fight contamination sources.

These are some important tips:

  1. When washing bed sheets try to do it using hot water (131F) every 7 days, in order to eliminate the dust mites;
  2. If possible, use anti-dust mite covers on attresses and pillows and avoid feather pillows and comforters;
  3. In there is presence of mildew, use a 1 part of chlorine for each 4 parts of water solution for cleaning. Do not mix chlorine based products with ammonia based products. The mixture liberates toxic gases;
  4. Clean up all mildew stains that you find. If the material is too porous and cannot be totally cleaned, throw it away;
  5. Wait until the surfaces are completely dry before
    placing objects over it;
  6. Use exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms. This measure will decrease humidity levels and reduces the installation of germs;
  7. Ventilate closed spaces like attics. In fact, the relative humidity of any environment should always be kept below 50%, because over that fungus, bacteria and dust mites will proliferate quicker.
  8. Clean up the air conditioning system and dehumidifiers on a regular basis, because those devices accumulate humidity and dirt inside, helping fungus and bacteria growth.
  9. When water damages occur like during floods, the contaminated materials should be cleaned and dried within 24 hours;
  10. Remove any allergic person from the room whenever vacuum cleaning or changing bed sheets, because the quantity of dust mites, fungus and bacteria in the air increase during the cleaning process;
  11. Allergic people should avoid carpets because the
    vacuum cleaners cannot remove all dust mites and fungus out of its woof;

 

 

12. Use Airfree air purifier to maintain a good air quality level in the environment. Airfree quietly, constantly, and efficiently purifies the air which is the transmitting mean between the contamination sources and the allergic person.
