Children's Allergy Tips
<p>Here are some simple steps you can take to reduce your child's exposure to allergens, both around the house and while outdoors.</p>
<p><strong>Cut the Clutter</strong><br />
Knickknacks collect dust and are hard to clean. Store children's toys, games, and stuffed animals in plastic bins to minimize the accumulation of dust and clutter.</p>
