Indoor Allergies and Allergy SymptomsHome>> Indoor Allergies
Most people with outdoor allergies think of their home as a safe place where they can hide from their allergies and breathe easy. On the contrary, houses and apartment buildings are a cesspool that breed their own allergens/ The inside of your home actually traps allergens, making them impossible to avoid. Although many allergens in your environment can trigger allergic symptoms, dust and dust mites are the main triggers in indoor allergies.



Unlike seasonal allergies such as hay fever, indoor allergies can last all year long. The season of indoor allergies will fluctuate depending on your locale, and there are parts of the country that are much worse than others. Sections of the country that have a warm climate tend to produce high levels of indoor, as well as outdoor, allergens.

Indoor allergies tend to be at their worst in the late summer, when dust mites are at their peaks. Allergy symptoms can actually be worse in the winter when the windows are closed and people are shut in with the allergens. Keeping your windows open at night during seasons of high outdoor pollen and mold count may worsen your allergy symptoms or asthma because these high-concentration outdoor allergens are allowed into your house to settle. If you are sensitive to indoor allergens, you will continue to have symptoms as long as you are exposed to your allergens.


Indoor Allergy Symptoms can include, but are not limited to:
Itchy, stuffy nose
Clear nasal discharge
Itchy, watery, swollen, bloodshot eyes
Sneezing
Scratchy, swollen throat
Cough
Wheezing
Tightness in the chest

Sensitivity to indoor allergens is very common and occurs at every age. It is less common in children younger than 5 years. People most likely to experience allergic rhinitis are those in early school and early adult years. If you experience any indoor allergies or are having a difficult time sleeping at night, speak with your physician and talk about getting tested for allergies.
