Healthy Q & A

Fall Allergies

Q: In the fall, I often have a runny, stuffy nose and sneeze frequently. What could be causing these symptoms?

A: Tiny particles lurking both indoors and outdoors in the fall can trigger symptoms. If you experience sneezing, a runny nose and watery eyes while in your house, you might be allergic to dust mites, animal dander or molds. Try these tips to ease symptoms:

• If possible, remove carpet and install hardwood floors.
• Wash bedding in hot water.
• Vacuum regularly.

If you experience a runny or stuffy nose; sneezing; or itchy eyes, nose and throat, you might be allergic to ragweed, a plant that releases pollen between August and November. Ease outdoor symptoms with these tips:

• Stay indoors between 5 and 10 A.M.
• Keep house and car windows closed.
• Ask your doctor or pharmacists about allergy medications.

Q: How do pollens and molds affect asthma?

A: If you have asthma, these allergens can cause your airways to swell and trigger an asthma attack. Try these tips to reduce your exposure to these allergens:
• Check your daily weather reports to find out what local pollen and mold counts. When counts are high, stay indoors or reduce your outdoor activity.
• Even when pollen and mold counts are low, it's a good idea to avoid yard work, such as raking wet leaves, mowing the grass or handling gardening material like compost and mulch.
• When you come on from outside, wash your skin and hair, if possible.
• Regularly clean moist areas and surfaces in your kitchen and bathroom. Use a dehumidifier to keep indoor humidity below 50 percent.
• Use air filters, which can reduce a variety of airborne substances that may worsen your asthma. Clean or replace the filters on air conditioners and other ventilation systems regularly.

Q: How can I tell the difference between allergy symptoms and cold symptoms?

A: Here are ways to tell the difference:
• Nasal discharge is clear, thin, and watery in allergy sufferers; it is thicker and yellow or green during a cold.
• You don't run a fever or have muscle aches with allergies.
• Allergy symptoms appear regularly during specific times of the year, such as spring or fall. They usually disappear if you leave the environment in which you're affected.
• Allergy symptoms can last weeks or months; but symptoms rarely last longer than 10 days.
