Are California Residents’ Itchy Eyes & Runny Noses due to Spring Allergies or Indoor Pollutants?


Garden Grove, CA – WEBWIRE

California is enjoying beautiful spring weather and people are taking advantage of the pleasant temperatures with all types of outdoor activities.  During this time of year, trees, plants and weeds also recognize the changing weather and begin to bloom. This burst of flowers is a welcome sign to many, but for millions of people it also means the beginning of sneezing, coughing and watery eyes.
 
These seasonal allergies are often caused by pollen and mold spores that are released into the air.  When people who are allergic to these substances come into contact with them, their immune system releases antibodies that attack the allergens.  Histamines are released into the body and trigger the allergic reactions so common to many people.
 
These air quality contaminants can be a concern to both people enjoying the outdoor weather and even those indoors as the allergens can often enter homes and buildings through open doors and windows, on people’s clothes, and through a building’s HVAC system where they can accumulate.
 
“For some people, these same airborne allergens can even trigger an asthma attack,” said Michael Chapman, Laboratory Manager at LA Testing’s Garden Grove facility.  “For anyone who experiences allergy symptoms all year long, they should also consider possible indoor allergens that they may be exposed to on a regular basis.  Common indoor allergens include mold, dust mites, pet dander, and insect and rodent allergens.  At LA Testing, we offer test kits, sampling supplies and environmental laboratory testing services to identify allergens that are frequently found in people’s homes, schools and places of business.  Knowing what is present in the air we breathe is the first step in taking corrective actions to minimize exposure and alleviate allergy symptoms.”
