Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Identify and avoid your allergens.
   
   Visit an allergy specialist to have testing done to determine what exactly is causing your allergy problems in the first place.

2. Dry your laundry in a dryer and not on a clothes line.
   
   Pollens and other allergens can be blown onto your clothes and be brought into your house if you allow your clothes to air dry outdoors.

3. Change clothes often if you have been outside for a long period of time.
   
   And change them in the garage or the laundry room, a room where you do not spend a long time. This reduces your exposure to potential allergens.

4. Stay inside better 5 and 10 am.
   
   This is when the pollen count is at its highest every day.

5. Wash hair before bed.
   
   Allergens can be carried in your hair and give you increased exposure if they remain trapped their all night. Showering before bed relieves this.
