It's important for students to be alert and focused, but this can be difficult when they're battling seasonal allergies.
As people continue to battle the ragweed, mold and dust allergies that have been afflicting them for the past month or so, it’s students who are often the most affected by their symptoms. According to CM Life, a Michigan news outlet, seasonal allergies in Central Michigan have been notably harsh this year, making it difficult for some teenagers to focus.
“I have them every fall,” Geneva Bass, a freshman at Farmington High School in Michigan, told the source. “It gets distracting a lot, because my head gets stuffed up and it becomes hard to think. Fall is when you need to think the most.”
While allergy sufferers tend to turn to a variety of different treatments, Bass said that she takes over-the-counter painkillers to alleviate her headaches and allergy medication to help with day-to-day symptoms. She also noted that drinking warm liquids makes her feel better.
It’s wise to see a doctor if your seasonal allergies begin to seriously interfere with your quality of life, but there are other steps you can take around the house to ensure that they don’t get out of control. Since many modern homes are tightly insulated in order to conserve energy, tiny particles can easily become trapped inside and exacerbate allergy symptoms. Fortunately, there are devices that are known to help with this problem.
Air purifiers, for example, work by eliminating dust, pollen, pet dander, bacteria, mold and other common allergens directly from the air so you’re not forced to breathe them in. Check out the Air Purifiers Direct 2U website today to see our collection of home air purifiers.
