Be allergy prepared this New Year with Claritin

 Make 2012 the best for you and your family. Don't let allergies get you down. 


Consider these tips for keeping your family allergy prepared in 2012.

• Check the filter on your furnace or heating system. Consider installing a new one in the new year.
• Blow out the candles! Consider replacing your wick candles with electric ones.
• If artificial candles are out of the question, use unscented beeswax candles instead of those scented with chemical preparations.
• Let family, friends and teachers know about your needs and ask them to designate an area that is allergy free.
• Preparing for the new year usually means cleaning, dusting, and even painting. Help prevent allergy flare-ups by wearing a dust mask and gloves, dusting with a damp sponge or mop, and using a vacuum with a HEPA filter or double bag.
• Keep medicines and supplies on hand, especially when you go out and always take product as directed.

Claritin, bringing allergy relief during the holidays

Normally when I talk to friends about allergy season, it's fall and spring between pollen and mold, everyone knows about seasonal allergies. In my house, winter, especially around the holidays, is a hard time for allergies.

It's fun to bring out all the Christmas decorations, but there has been dusting collecting in all those boxes. When you take them out, the dust particles go everywhere. As a family we take some Claritin before we start the holiday decorating. It's a great way to prevent the sneezing and itching during the fun.

For me, one of the hardest allergy related issues are all the candles. While everyone likes the ambiance of candles, the scents make my nose run. When I know that I'm going to a holiday party, I'll make sure that I take a Claritin before I go. It helps prevent the itchy eyes and running nose.

So this holiday season, make it an allergy free one. Keep your cabinet stocked with Claritin. The only tissue you will need will be tissue paper for Christmas presents.
