Holidayallergen Hit List---5 Allergens To Knock Out Of The Air During The Holidays

The holidays are often a time when many people are exposed to an increased number of allergens that can trigger allergy and asthma flare ups

. Here are 5 holiday allergens that should be anticipated and removed from the air before they can cause problems.

Haul Out The Holly----If you're uncovering and rediscovering holiday decorations from a closet, the attic, or the basement, you are also sending dust, mold spores, and other allergens into the air. Even for a person who does not suffer from acute or chronic respiratory conditions, inhaling these allergens can cause sneezing, watering eyes, and congestion.

If you or those in your family have allergies or asthma, this can be the start of a season of misery. Setting up the decorations throughout the house can mean airborne triggers are released in every room of the house. Minimizing the dust particles in the air is a must.

Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire----This song paints a great picture of the holidays, and probably triggers lots of happy memories with family and friends. But an open fire that is not well drafted can send smoke into your room which can travel throughout the house. Smoke is a notorious trigger for those with allergies, asthma, and allergic asthma, and should be taken out of the air not only during the holidays but throughout the season when the fireplace is used.

Underneath The Mistletoe----The cold weather of the holidays typically sees an increase in airborne germs and bacteria that result in increased number of colds and more flu outbreaks. Because people tend to gather in groups frequently during the season (both under the mistletoe and other places) it is easy for airborne germs to travel from one host to another. Taking this germs out of the air will greatly increase the chances that your family and friends will survive the season in good health.

The Holly And The Ivy---There's nothing quite as lovely as the look and smell of fresh greenery for wreaths, banister and mantle decorations. But many times mold and mildew spores hitch a ride and go airborne inside your home. For those who have sensitivity to them, this can make it extremely uncomfortable to be around the decorations.

I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas----Maybe Santa will pass on the hippopotamus, but if he brings a puppy, kitten, bird, ferret, hamster, bunny or other warm blooded animal instead, you can expect the amount of dander, fur, and other pet-generated particulates and odors will fill your air.

Once those adorable eyes look at their new family, it's tough to have to decide to find a new home because someone in the family cannot tolerate your pet. Removing airborne dander is the only option for effectively removing airborne pet dander, and hair.

A high efficiency particle arresting (abbreviated as HEPA) can remove dust, smoke, bacteria and viruses, mold and mildew, and pet dander down to.3 microns with 99.97% efficiency. Providing 24 hour filtration during the holidays will keep you and your family on track for the happiest holiday season possible.
