Starting to sneeze? It's that season for folks allergic to ragweed, one of the most common causes of nasal allergy symptoms. Though medication can help, doctors say the best way to feel better is to limit exposure to irritating pollens.
Four tips:
•Keep house and car windows closed and use the air conditioner.
•Avoid outdoor activities before 10 a.m., when pollen levels are heaviest.
•Wear a mask to mow the lawn or work in the garden.
•Keep pollen off your pillow by showering before bed.
