Everything About Allergy

The most common allergy triggers are pollen, pets, dust mites, insect stings , molds, food, latex, medicines, fragrance, and cockroaches.

Pets trigger allergies not because of its fine fur, but the proteins secreted by oil glands in the animal’s skin and saliva. To avoid allergic reactions to pets, bathe the animal at least once a week, avoid carpets and do not allow the pet in the bedroom.

Dust mites live in house dust and feed on human and animal dead skin cells, pollen, bacteria and fungi. It accumulates in pillows, carpets, stuffed toys – such items should be washed at least once a week in hot water.
