Best Question:

What can employees do about allergies to avoid missing work?

‍

Allergy season is upon us - and getting longer every year. But there are things that you and your employees can do to limit the impact if you’re suffering from seasonal allergies. 

‍

  • Decide when to spend extended time outdoors. There are pollen forecasts that can help decide if this is a good weekend to go camping: try Pollen.com or National Allergy Bureau.

  • Keep the outdoors out. Change clothes and shower when you come back indoors to remove pollen. Keep windows closed on high pollen days, and run an air purifier or turn on the exhaust fans in your bathroom and kitchen.

  • Take seasonal allergy meds early - and make sure you use the right kind. Allergy medicines work best when you start them about two weeks before the season is in full swing. Don’t wait til you’re a mess, take them at the first sign of allergies. And take later generation ones like Zyrtec or Claritin over older ones like Benadryl, which have more side effects.

  • Rinse your nose with saline. YLE’s Katelyn Jetelina says to rinse your nose with saline water “just like you brush your teeth.” Allergies are triggered when pollen is in our nasal passages, so a regular saline rinse can help a lot.
