  • in reply to: Pollen season is rough. Any tips? #304159

    Pollen season can be really hard on an allergy sufferer. Personally, the spring allergy season is terrible for me. I get bad asthma, hay fever, itchy eyes, itchy nose, other sinus problems, and feel terrible for about a month. I am mostly allergic to tree pollen such as oak trees, but I am also allergic to ragweed, grass, and dust. Because of the symptoms, allergies can be extremely hard on people with asthma and COPD. My father is not able to ride anymore because of his COPD. But because I love to ride, I try not to let allergy season affect my riding time. Although I cannot prevent allergies while outdoors, I do a great job of preventing them while indoors. The way I do this is by using an air purifier. Air purifiers actually work great in eliminating the pollen in my home. Because you spend the majority of your time at home, using an air purifier will make your allergy symptoms a lot better. Having absolutely zero pollen in my home allows me to get the most out of my day. I can go out into the pollen for a few hours and come back and recover. Something else I suggest is using a humidifier. Humidity seems to improve my symptoms as well. Luckily, there are actually 2 great humidifier and air purifier combos. The Boneco H300 is great as well as the Dreval D-4850. If you are interested in only buying and air purifier. I suggest either getting the IQAir or the Austin Air. The IQAir Helathpro Plus is probably the best overall purifier but both brands are great top of the line. If you do not get one of these purifiers, you should at least get an air purifier that can clean spaces up to 1200 sq. ft. or 1000 sq. ft. These purifiers will be stronger than others and will eliminate all of the allergens in a room. Hope this helps!
