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.
Wiping down the Pollen and Dander form my windows |
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.
Here is a video from Lysol on Allergy Proofing You Home.
GIVEAWAY:
Lysol has offered one lucky reader the chance to win 3 packs of Wipes, 3 Disinfectant sprays and 1 No-Touch Soap System.
To Enter This Giveaway:
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!

I am allergic to so much, mostly food..I don't have any funny stories, mine are mostly embarrassing. Me and hubs went to a seafood buffet & within 20 mins of leaving, I had to find a bathroom & was in there for 20 mins. The seafood did not like me & wanted out!

I can't think of a funny allergy story really. I have really bad allergies to the point that I have had surgery and shots in both arms every week for years. And sadly I have passed them to my daughter. Ugh. Mine have actually improved somewhat since I have gotten older thankfully. I asked hubby if I had a funny story but he couldn't think of one either. I have sneezed so many times to the point that I bother people. Lol. I know how irritating that is but I can't help it. I've walked into things before because I couldn't look down for my nose running.

Tip I will try: Consider a HEPA filter. HEPA filters can remove pollen, mold spores, and pet dander from the air. (Note: HEPA filters do not filter dust mites.). I already do some of them and some of them won't work here. I can't avoid dander, we have three dogs and a guinea pig. LOl.

This is the tip that I already do, and will continue to use, and it helps:
Encase mattresses and pillows to prevent exposure to dust mite allergens, and launder all bedding frequently.

My story is kind of gross...I went to gas up the car , leaned over and water (from sinus fluid buildup) ran out of my nose and horrified everyone at the gas station.
Lots of water, it was shocking but my kids thought it was hilarious.

OK, this isn't really funny but my husband is allergic to tree nuts... he had eaten something and ballooned out to twice his size with a bumpy rash - luckily we had benadryl so all was ok - but he was scratching like a monkey and stripping his clothes off like a mad man, we could really have made big bucks with a youtube video!

My funniest (sort of) allergy story: My brother-in-law and nephews all have allergies so whenever they come over I'm always amazed that the tissue box is empty once they leave!
widow2young at hotmail dot com
my funniest allergy problem...was when I was having an attach and my eyes were watering like I was crying while walking around Walmart. People kept looking at my husband like he had done something. LOL

About two weeks ago my boyfriend had to have shoulder surgery and I was taking him. I woke up and my eyes were watering so bad I couldn't wear contacts so I wore glasses. The entire time I was in the waiting room My eyes were FLOWING with tears and I was blowing my nose constantly. I think everyone thought I was crying because I was worried about his surgery (which was only minor) but it was really just my allergies!
I came back to college after spring break and had bad allergies for the first time. My roomate came in and thought someone had died because it looked like I was crying so hard.

My funniest allergy story is my son used to get hives when he ate berries for months until we figured out the connection. Most of my allergy stories are of misery, sorry I can't come up with anything better.

My funniest story would be when I was a kid and broke out with huge hives all over. I outlined all of them in pen. We never figured out what made me have a reaction.

I was in my classroom and started this rapid fire sneezing. I must've snneezed 10 times in a row and my glasses fell off. The other teachers started laughing when several children (3 yr olds) started trying to imitate me.
