indoor allergens

Indoor allergens are substances found inside homes or buildings that can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Common indoor allergens include dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, and cockroach droppings. These particles can become airborne or settle on surfaces, making them easy to inhale or contact. Exposure to indoor allergens may cause symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, coughing, or asthma flare-ups. Managing indoor allergens involves keeping spaces clean, controlling humidity, using air purifiers, and limiting exposure to pets or mold to reduce allergy symptoms.
