Cleared the room with the vacuum-cleaner, keeping the
kitchen clean, but the nose remains blocked even snorted. Apparently the house
is super clean and tidy can hide some of the allergens.
"Many people who suffer from allergies each year, but
did not realize that there are sources of misery right under his nose,"
says Clifford Bassett, MD, medical director of the Allergy and Asthma Care in
New York, as quoted from iVillage, Saturday (14/04/2012) .
The following are places that are generally ignored, but
save a lot of allergens and simple ways to tame the allergy triggers you to
quickly:
1. Plants in Your Bedroom
More than 70 percent of the plants in pots removing
allergens mold spores.
"If you breathe it every night while you sleep, you can
wake up every morning in a state of sore throat, dry cough or other symptoms,
says Christopher Randolph, MD., An allergy expert at Yale-New Haven Hospital,
Connecticut.
To fix this quickly, move some plants from the bedroom to
another room and replace it with lilies.
This tropical plant can wet mold spores in the air and use
it as food, thereby reducing the amount of mold in the room up to 60 percent.
2. Washer
Washing machines are also able to hide millions of allergens
due to poor drainage and a moist cracks.
As a result of fungal spores embedded not only in clothing
but if the levels are high enough, you will breathe it every time you log into
the laundry room, said Dr. Randolph.
To kill 100 percent of fungi that exist on the machine in
action once, pour 8 ounces of bleach in an empty washing machine and turn on
highest temperature setting.
To stop mold growth in the future, routinely open the washer
door and detergent dispenser cover wide to help drain the engine.
3. Aroma Candles
The scent of burning candles can create warmth in every
room.
But researchers from the Environmental Protection Agency
showed that the fire also emits chemicals that can encourage increased levels
of pollutants.
In addition, the oil that gives a special candle scent that
can irritate and burn the nasal cavity or trigger a runny nose and eyes.
Instead, choose alternatives such as using low-watt frosted
lamps and prepare fresh bowl of potpourri to add a soothing aroma.
4. Commode
According to UCLA researchers, at least 50 percent of the
clothes washed coated with allergens rarely sufficient to trigger allergies.
Fortunately, you do not need to do laundry every week to
resolve the issue.
According to researchers from the Institute of Respiratory
Medicine at the University of Sydney, Australia, proven allergen levels were
higher in clothing that is not washed regularly.
Researchers also noted that people who prefer to wear wool
instead of cotton has about 10 times more mite and cat fur in their clothing.
"The best solution for you is to keep the clothes in
sealed plastic containers during warmer weather. Then wash it several times
during the rainy season to keep control of the allergen," said Dr.
Bassett,
5. Window and Door
According to EPA, allergens can develop quickly inside a
sealed, though it could be three times that of inhaled allergens in the
outdoors.
To eliminate it quickly - without having to make your
heating costs skyrocket - you open multiple windows for 15 minutes every day to
let fresh air enter.
Experts from the National Research Council Canada said that
the entry of fresh air every day is very effective to ward off fungal spores in
the air and the mite.
Also, keep the house free of smoke. Inhaling secondhand
smoke also aggravate allergies for 4 days after exposure to the smoke and the
mark is capable of stimulating the production of inflammatory proteins called
cytokines.
6. Bath mats
Mat are widely used in bathrooms contain 10 times more than
the floor mite and fungus.
"Allergies are triggered reproduction of mite and mold
like crazy when surrounded by moisture - and rarely bath mat is completely
dry," explained Dr. Bassett.
To protect yourself, wash your bath mat once a week in hot
water, then dry completely before returning it to its original place.
