The holidays bring joy, family, and traditions. They also bring hidden allergens most people never think about.
Christmas trees harbor mold and pollen. Decorations stored in attics collect dust. Scented candles and seasonal fragrances trigger respiratory reactions. Increased indoor time means more exposure to trapped allergens. Even gift-wrapping materials and pine scents can irritate sensitive systems.
For people already dealing with sinus issues or allergies, the holidays can turn from celebration to constant congestion. What's frustrating is that these triggers hide in plain sight, wrapped up in traditions we look forward to all year.
The good news? Awareness helps. Dusting decorations before bringing them inside, choosing unscented products, and running air purifiers can all reduce holiday allergy symptoms. But if you're already struggling with chronic sinus issues or allergies, treating the underlying problem provides relief that lasts well beyond the holiday season.
