Spring is officially here, and the throes of season allergies are among us. A few weeks ago, I went through an awful bout of hay fever I think was linked to cedar in the air, as allergy counts were off the chart. Once a day of rain came, it all went away, though.

Although Spring is all about fresh flowers blooming and the nicer warmer weather, it's havoc for those with season allergies unless preventive maintenance is used to ward off those allergies as good as can be.

What can you do about allergens such as airborne pollens, ragweed and mold spores? In addition to watching your time outdoors (some use masks even), you may not think about the indoors as well. Your home and office isn't as clean as you think -- and keeping both sanitary and clean should be a focus, using items like HEPA air purifiers, clean bedsheets, static-capture dusting and vacuuming floors very regularly.
