Wearing a medical mask can help relieve allergy symptoms when walking outdoors during the blooming season, physician Tatiana Taradeeva (Russia) said, Izvestia reported.

According to the specialist, allergy sufferers are recommended to spend less time outdoors during the blooming period. Moreover, it is recommended not to open windows in hot and windy days, and to change clothes after walks. All these measures will help reduce exposure to allergens.

Taradeeva also noted that window filters - using a damp cloth when airing - are very effective. Another necessary item at home for an allergic person is a humidifier.

Taradeeva also recommends allergy sufferers to be more careful with their diet, because some products can increase pollen allergens. For example, people with pollen allergies should not eat porridge, cereals, bread, corn, nuts and a number of other foods.

If you are allergic to grass pollen, you should exclude honey, sunflower seeds, mustard, mayonnaise, spinach, bananas, garlic from your diet.

"The causes of allergies can also be stress, infections, immunodeficiency states, smoking, taking antibacterial drugs," said the specialist.
