Indoor allergy week aims to highlight the issues around indoor allergens at this time of the year.
According to a new survey at least 12 million people in Britain could be allergic to their homes. Allergy UK has dubbed this ‘home fever’ or perennial allergic rhinitis. In a recent survey they discovered that 58% of people react to dust mites, 45% had a pet allergy, 31% of people had a reaction to mould spores and even 30% of respondents were allergic to household cleaning products.
This is reflected by NHS figures that show that six million people are so severely affected by an allergy that they require specialist treatment and hospital admissions related to allergies has increased over the last two decades.
There are some simple measures you can take to combat indoor allergens. These include dusting regularly with a damp duster followed by a dry cloth, washing bedding once a week at 60 degrees or higher and regularly steam-cleaning carpets and curtains.
In the bedroom, where 59% of people in the survey say their symptoms are worse, tips include using allergy protectors on mattresses, duvets and pillows. Also replacing the mattress every eight to 10 years and buying new pillows every year.
