  1. If you know what is causing them to act up, try to stay away from that substance. Allergy shots may also help control allergy symptoms as well. Avoid yardwork (raking and mowing) which stirs up both pollen and mold. If you must do yardwork, wear a mask and take an antihistamine beforehand. Avoid smoking and/or inhaling secondhand smoke. Eliminate aersol sprays, perfumes, room deordorizers, cleaning products and etc. Keep your house as dust-free as possible. Consider using an air conditioner or air purifier with a HEPA filter.
