Allergen Avoidance

Allergen avoidance is the practice of steering clear of substances that trigger allergic reactions in certain individuals. Common allergens include foods (like peanuts and shellfish), pollen, dust mites, mold, and pet dander. To avoid these allergens, one must identify specific triggers and eliminate or minimize exposure to them. This could mean reading food labels, keeping homes clean, using air filters, and taking measures to limit contact with pets or outdoor allergens. By understanding personal allergies, individuals can better manage their symptoms and maintain a healthier, more comfortable lifestyle.
