When Spring starts most people are happy and excited for good weather. For me I dread it! I love the sunshine, the happy attitude people get and the fun to be had outdoors but I hate all the pollen and allergies that attack me! I can not go outside on really bad days but I still get the sneezing, runny nose and itchy eyes in my house. I knew it must be the dust and pollen from outside settling int he house. I tried using a wet paper towel to clean up but that just made the stuff smear onto the surfaces. Lysol has many great tips and advise on how to deal with allergies in your own home on their website for the Allergy-Proofing Your Home series.
I tried using the Lysol Disinfecting Wipes and loved them. They are easy to use, just pull out a ready single towel from the container and your ready to clean. It easily removed pollen particles, pet dander (we have a big black lab who is so furry!) and dust mite debris. I can go on forever how gross dust mites are. I worked at a place that sold vacuums when I was 14. My brother was a sales man and I was a telemarketer! Funny stories from that I will share later. I was just glad to be cleaning away all the junk that makes my allergies flare up. I started with all of our window sills since I love to let fresh air in. I noticed a big difference in the last few days after daily wiping down the windows with the Lysol Wipes. Just 10 minutes a day and its so easy to do.

The Disinfectant Spray is a staple in our house. I already buy that in bulk from Sam's Club. I use it on the door handles all over the house, the garbage can and the bathroom. I know for me if there is a bit of mildew in the bathroom I get what I have deemed "the itchy stitchies" its when I get red bumps that itch like crazy after I shower. I have been using the Lysol Spray daily after I shower and there has been no mildew build up. Now all I have to do is get my husband to remember to do it too!
The one item I squealed about when I saw the commercial on TV is the Lysol No-Touch Hand Soap System. My husband laughed and said they must have made that just for you! I wash my hands often to not only not spread germs but to cut back on the pollen I get on my hands from being outside. I swear the wind blows and I get hives! This new hand soap dispenser is awesome. It looks great since it is a stainless steel look and its almost magical lol! I know this will be really handy to have for guest and for when my little guy starts to wash his own hands. Plus its a great way to not use to much soap and be wasteful since it dispenses you the perfect amount.

Tell me what is your Funniest Allergy Story?
Mine was on the night before my wedding! I broke out into hives from pollen and pet dander all over my body! I was crying that I was going to look horrible in the morning. I was scratching all over and my eyes were watery and getting swollen. I looked like I was a turtle shell. I was trying to be calm and collected and my hubby to be thought I looked funny but assured me I would be ok eventually. Thankfully after a lot of lotion and some medication I was better in the morning. If I would have been using my Lysol for pollen and dander back then I am sure it would have not had that happen. Oh the things we eventually learn about how to keep a house clean!

When my daughter was just entering her teens and started breaking out we bought her some acne medicine not knowing that she was allergic to benzoyl peroxide. She woke up the first day after using it looking a bit like Quasimodo.

My funniest story is when I was in high school, I took a job mowing lawns. It was pretty bad on my allergies (weeds & grass), but I took lots of meds and did it anyway. Well, about a month in I started waking up in the night scratching my back, it really itched. We thought it was bugs or something so we treated the bed, changed the sheets, etc, and it still happened. Finally we realized it was hives from so much allergen exposure.

Our dogs like to jump on my hubby's head and snuggle in the mornings but it makes his eyes get all puffy and his throat scratchy. I feel so bad but it's so cute!

I was eating at a restaurant and we ordered a strawberry and chocolate dessert. I am highly allergic to bananas. I took several bites and then my mouth and throat started swelling up as they do when I eat bananas. I took my medication and we asked the waiter about bananas maybe being in the dessert. The manager told us that my dessert was prepared next to a banana dessert and some must have transfered to ours. Scary. We laugh about my terrible luck now. Only me!

When my now 4 year old first developed allergies, she was under 1. However, she quickly learned that when she sneezed, she got attention. She is still notorious for her fake sneezes!
