Allergies and the Great Outdoors
Don't let allergies keep you from getting outside and enjoying the great outdoors! Learn how to control your allergies so that you can enjoy an active life. With a little know-how and some practical advice, you can breathe easy and remain allergy-free.
Being prepared is the key to effective allergy control. Find out how you can enjoy a morning trimming the roses in the garden, an afternoon hiking in the mountains, or an evening playing golf.
Travelling with allergies requires special preparation. Forgetting the basics could result in a trip filled with allergy symptoms rather than good memories.
Insect bites are another type of allergy found in the outdoors. Protect yourself from bugs and bites, and a potential allergic reaction. The ingredient DEET, found in bug repellent, protects from bites from some, but not all, insects. People with an identified serious allergy should wear a MedicAlert bracelet and carry an EpiPen.
While most people associate allergies with sniffling noses and watery eyes, another kind of allergy is contact dermatitis – the poison ivy reaction.
