Outdoor Tips

Help your kids stay in the swing of things by managing their allergy symptoms.

1. Avoiding Allergens 101

Help keep allergens outside the home by immediately washing your child’s outdoor play clothes. Also, have your children get into the habit of showering after playing outdoors; it will help rid their skin and hair of pollen.

2. Leave the Leaves Alone

It is best for your child to avoid playing in the leaves, but if they cannot help themselves, make sure they change when they come in, as leaves are great hiding places for mold spores. You should also wash the affected clothing.
