FAQs about Allergies

How do I know if I have allergies?

How many types of upper respiratory allergies are there and what’s the difference?

• Wash bedding in hot water (130° F)
• Vacuum weekly, using a HEPA filter or a double bag
• Avoid pets with fur or feathers. If you can’t, then minimize contact
