Find out if any of your guests suffer from allergies before the holiday arrives.
If you're hosting Thanksgiving, you know how stressful it can be to prepare for this holiday — particularly if you have guests who suffer from allergies. The last thing you want is to make your friends or family members sick or — in the worst case scenario — bring them to the emergency room. The good news is, there are things you can do as a host to guarantee that this doesn't happen.
With this in mind, here are a few ways to ensure that everyone who spends Thanksgiving at your home is safe and comfortable:
Ask if anyone has allergies – Most people who suffer from serious allergies of any kind will alert their host ahead of time, but it's still not a bad idea to reach out to your guests a few days before Thanksgiving so that you can prepare a couple dishes to accommodate their needs.
Be prepared to list ingredients – Since some food allergies can be quite dangerous, many people want to know exactly what it is that they are eating, so make sure you have a list of ingredients on hand.
Make the guest room comfortable – In addition to food allergies, some family members or friends may react poorly to your pets or even the amount of dust in your home. If they're planning to be at your house for a long period of time or even spend the night, you may want to consider investing in bedroom air purifiers for the guest room, which you can purchase on the Air Purifiers Direct 2U website.
