Huntington Beach, CA – WEBWIRE

Approximately 30% of adults and 40% of children have allergies. For California, this means millions of its residents suffer from the condition, including many that are allergic to respiratory allergens.

As the warm spring month of May causes flowers to bloom and trees, shrubs and all types of plants to release large amounts of pollen into the air, allergy sufferers recognize this is allergy season in much of California. Common symptoms often experienced this time of year include an itchy or runny nose, congestion and sneezing. While some allergy sufferers experience short-term seasonal allergies, a growing number of people experience chronic, year-round allergic reactions. For those individuals, their allergies may not be due to just exposure to high outdoor pollen or mold spore counts. Many are actually exposed to allergens found right in their homes, schools and offices.

“The sneezing, sniffling and itchy eyes experienced by so many this time of year may not be due to just what is happening outdoors,” said Michael Chapman, Laboratory Manager at LA Testing’s Huntington Beach facility. “Recognizing any allergens that are present indoors at elevated concentrations is a key part of managing the condition. Frequently encountered indoor allergens include mold growing indoors due to moisture, pet dander, cockroaches, dust mites, latex and rodents. Many of these same allergens are also known asthma triggers for those with the lung disease.”

Fortunately, allergy sufferers have access to affordable environmental tests that can identify elevated levels of indoor allergens. If test results indicate an issue, eliminating or mitigating exposure to the allergen’s source can make a huge difference in the quality of life for people with allergies or asthma. LA Testing provides these indoor allergen testing services, all of the sampling supplies necessary, and even offers easy-to-use test kits. They laboratory specialists have also sponsored an educational video about indoor and outdoor allergens that can be seen at: https://youtu.be/O4GdLdidsAI.
