  • Avoid being outside during high pollen count hours – Pollen count is usually at its highest between 10am and 4pm
  • Use an HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter on your furnace and air conditioner
  • Download the free pollen.com app for your iPhone so you can check what the pollen count is wherever you are
  • If you have pets, wipe their fur and paws after they have been outside to prevent them from tracking pollen into your home.
  • If staying indoors isn’t enough to prevent your allergy symptoms – try taking over the counter allergy medications, such as Claritin, Zyrtec, Allergra, etc.
  • If over the counter medications don’t help relieve your allergy symptoms – consider seeing an allergist who can better help treat your symptoms
