Suffer from seasonal allergies? Tech could help you breathe a little easier

Seasonal allergies, also known as outdoor allergies, seasonal allergic rhinitis, or hay fever, occur when grass, trees, and weeds release tiny pollen particles into the air to fertilize other plants. People who experience these allergies must deal with symptoms like itchy eyes, sneezing, hives, congestion, sinus pressure, and rashes.



Here are some things you can do to avoid such allergies

·       Wash your hands and face regularly

·       Change clothes after returning from outdoors

·       Close the windows and doors of your home

·       Dry clothes inside the home

·       Wear sunglasses to avoid pollen exposure to the eyes

·       Stay indoors

·       Avoid gardening for a few days

·       Use a face mask while stepping out
