Top Ten Triggers for Seasonal Allergies
      Precautions to Take to Reduce the Impact of the "Top Ten Triggers for Seasonal Allergies," courtesy of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology [U.S.A. Today, "All About Allergies and Asthma," March 16,2001]

          Up to 20% of the U.S. population suffers from allergic diseases, including 35 million who suffer from seasonal allergies. Allergists recommended avoidance as the first line of defense against seasonal allergies. Here are the ten ways you can reduce your seasonal allergy symptoms:

1. Stay indoors when pollen counts are high and on windy days when pollen and dust are blown about.
2. Use air conditioning and a dehumidifier to clean, cool and dry the air.
3. Shower or bathe and change clothes following outdoor activity to remove pollen and fungal spores from your hair skin and clothing.
4. Don’t hang clothes to dry outside; instead, dry them in a vented dryer.
5. Have a friend or a family member do yard work.
6. Keep windows closed at night to prevent pollen and fungal spores from drifting into your home. Instead, if needed, use air conditioning which cleans, cools and dries the air.
7. Minimize activities when pollen counts are high. Peak pollen times are usually between 2-4 p.m., but differ for trees, grasses, and weeds.
8. Keep your car windows closed when traveling.
9. Try to stay indoors when the pollen count or humidity is reported to be high, and on windy days when dust and pollen are blown about.
10. Take your vacation to a more pollen-free area, such as the beach or sea

    
The effect of climate on mold problems
      Q. I am a mother of a 2 year old child who suffers from significant mold allergies.  He is on constant medication to try to control the symptoms...has already gone through two surgeries also.  I would like to know your expert opinion, since I can't seem to find the information I'm looking for.  Would he possibly benefit by moving from a humid climate such as Houston, Texas to the dry climate of Salt Lake City, Utah.  I also suffer from allergies (I'm pretty sure due to more mold than any thing), I never had bad allergies up in Wyoming [a dry, desert environment] until I moved here. [October 28, 2004]
      A. Yes, in general, living in a dry, semi-desert location like Salt Lake City often is far less contaminated with environmental mold than a place like very humid and very rainy Houston, Texas, the mold capital of the U.S.A. But please note that it is very possible to have serious mold problems in a very dry climate like Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, southern California, and parts of other western states in the USA because of: (1) exposure to Valley Fever [caused only by a desert mold species which does not grow in humid climates]; (2) roof and siding leaks; (3) plumbing and sanitary/sewage line leaks; and (4) the use of humidity-raising evaporative-type cooling system [as contrasted with moisture removing refrigerated cooling technology], which is an effective way to grow mold and to distribute it through out one's home or apartment.
