Pollen/Contact Flushing

Spring in most countries is the time for pollen and mold spores as trees, plants, and grass are providing pollen for self-production with the result that it affects many acne sufferers. Also, some areas have enough warm and proper vegetation for pollen and mold spores year around. You may even see mold spores growing in your bathtub or shower. Of course you need to keep all spores cleaned out of the home. Clorox liquid is very good and may be diluted by using half Clorox and half water if the full strength smell is offensive to you. Another good cleanser is "Clorox Clean-Up" which disinfects and destroys many allergens and has a much nicer fragrance.

The simplest and least expensive way to decrease pollen and contact flushing is simply bathing and shampooing your hair every night to get the small 'sycamore' type clinging pollen balls off the body and out of the hair. If allowed to remain on the body and hair during your sleep time, the pollen gets in your pillow which means that you are inhaling pollen during the night. Allergy 'mold spores' begin to grow in the home at humidity levels higher than 60% to 65% depending on the amount of dust, dirt, plants, etc. available for the food source of mold spores that many of us are allergic to. Also, the purchase of a dehumidifier for summer use to reduce the amount of humidity will reduce the mold spores while at the same time making the air more comfortable as the air has less humidity and therefore, dryer.

Brush dogs regularly and bathe them frequently depending on their outings or at least once per week. Brush and wipe cats down with a 'damp wash cloth' as they will tolerate the 'damp wash' and you can enjoy your cat much more.

Frequent vacuuming of the home which ideally should be 2 to 3 times per week with a good quality vacuum cleaner will help to eliminate dust, pollen, mold spores, etc. Also, change the air filter in your home every week using the very best quality filter if you have severe problems with allergies. This will also give you the benefit of not having to dust as often. You will feel better and spend less time at the ENT or allergy doctor, and will reduce your allergy problem enough that you will see some reduction in redness of the face.
