Managing Hay Fever Symptoms

Hay fever is not caused by hay nor is accompanied by a fever. This term was coined at a time when there was less knowledge about this condition which usually occurred during fall harvesting of hay.

Today, due to extensive research and studies, we know that this condition can happen anytime during the year and symptoms include irritation and swelling of nasal and sinus tissues making it hard to breathe.

Watering eyes, runny nose, and coughing from post nasal drip all combine to make this a miserable condition at best.

In the fall this condition is most often triggered by airborne weed pollen from ragweed, curly dock, lambs quarters, pigweed, plantain, sheep sorrel and sagebrush. The pollen is light weight and there is more in the air on dry windy days.

There is nothing you can do about what’s in the air outside, but you can drastically reduce hay fever symptoms while indoors by eliminating the pollen from the air in your home and office. Removing triggers from the air means avoiding the allergen, and that is still one the best, most non-invasive ways to mange allergies.

A HEPA or high efficiency particle arresting filter is literally just what the doctor ordered. Used in hospitals to insure clean air, this type of filter is almost always a part of an allergy management program that doctors' recommend.

This type of filter is able to remove 99.97% of particles that are as small as .3 microns in size. Pollen is quite a bit larger that .3 micron, so it and other more normal household triggers such as dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, pet dander, bacteria and viruses are also easily removed.

Don’t let the fall season make you miserable again this year. See the Hay Fever Air Purifier from PurerAir.com that has 4 particle filters (including the HEPA), and let it clear your air continuously. See it for yourself now at http://purerair.com/hay_fever_air_purifier.html
