Seasonal allergies are often caused by exposure to pollen. You can
reduce your exposure to pollen by:
- Keeping your house and car windows
closed.
- Limiting the time you spend outside when pollen counts are
high (during midday and afternoon).
- Wearing a pollen or dust mask
if you need to mow the lawn. Limit your mowing tasks if you
can.
- Rinsing your eyes with cool water or saline eyedrops after you
come indoors to remove clinging pollen.
- Taking a shower and
changing your clothes after you work or play outside.
