Be sure to get tested BEFORE the pollen starts. The earlier you start, the sooner you can see results. See here from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA)

Are you allergic to pollen? Your pollen season will depend on which pollens YOU are allergic to and where YOU live! Talk with your doctor about treatment options.

We have another Employee Focus Friday coming up today! Stay tuned! In the meantime: Don't let Asthma hold you back! Straight from Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA)

With the right plan, asthma doesn’t have to hold you back. If you have asthma symptoms during exercise:

✔️ Follow your Asthma Action Plan
✔️ Take medicines as prescribed
✔️ Do proper warm-ups like stretching or a light jog
✔️ Pace yourself
✔️ Wear a face covering in cold weather to protect your lungs from extreme cold

Always talk with your doctor before starting an exercise program. With effective management, people with asthma can be active and even compete in sports.

Another great tip from Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA)

Flooring material and adhesives used during installation can release harmful chemicals and gases called volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs can trigger asthma.

Asthma & Allergy Friendly® Certified flooring is proven, through independent testing, to release less VOCs both during installation and over time.

Another winter tip from Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA)

Cold weather can trigger eczema symptoms. Tips on how to manage eczema:

- Use over-the-counter (OTC) moisturizers and skin barriers often.
- Use prescribed medicines to reduce inflammation. Mild eczema may be managed by OTC products like low-strength hydrocortisone.
- Use the “wet wrapping” or “soak and seal” methods at nighttime to help lock in moisture.
- Cover your skin to protect it from the cold. Wear 100% cotton gloves as a base layer under your winter gloves.
- Use a humidifier in your home to help prevent dryness. (Moisture levels should stay between 30-50%.)
- Reduce exposure to other known eczema triggers as the skin may be more sensitive.
- Use mild soaps for handwashing – hand sanitizer can worsen hand eczema.
