Managing Bird Allergies


There is nothing more heart breaking than adopting a bird only to find that constant exposure sends your allergies into overdrive. Before you begin to try to find a new home for your bird (perish the thought) here are a few suggestions that will reduce the number of allergens to which you are exposed.

Other than completely avoiding your bird, the next best thing is to reduce the number of triggers to which you are exposed. Wear a mask while you clean with a damp cloth and mop to keep the particles from going airborne again.

You can further remove those particles that do go airborne (and nothing will get rid of all of them) by continuously filtering the air with a HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting air cleaner. This type of filter removes bird dust and dander as well as other household pollutants such as household dust.

It’s important to remove these pollutants before they can clog your bird’s air passages. Their airways are so small that it does not take much to cause a blockage. This often leads to disease and infection, and the results are often hard to reverse.

PurerAir.com offers an allergy air purifier designed to remove both bird-related pollutants and other common allergy triggers.
