• Avoid going outdoors between 5 and 10 am.

• Pollen collects on your clothing and hair. Change clothes when coming back inside.

• Close all windows in your home and automobile and maintain comfortable temperatures through the use of air-conditioning.

• Have your air duct system cleaned and sanitized regularly.
