As an expert in allergies, one of the best ways to prepare your home for crested wheatgrass pollen season is firstly, by limiting your exposure to this allergen. Keep your doors and windows closed to prevent pollen from entering your home. Use air conditioning in your car and home instead, and consider adding a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter to your central heating and cooling system.

Regular cleaning is necessary during the pollen season. Soft surfaces can harbor allergens, so wash bedding, upholstered furniture, and carpets regularly. Also, wear sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat when outdoors to prevent pollen from getting into your eyes. Changing clothes and showering after being outside can remove pollen from your skin and hair.

Consider using a saline rinse for your nasal passages to help alleviate nasal congestion, check with your doctor before starting any homeopathic remedies.

Next, monitor the pollen count in your area. On days when it is high, try to stay indoors, especially during the morning and early afternoon when pollen counts tend to be highest.

Antihistamines can help relieve allergy symptoms. These include drugs like loratadine (Claritin), cetirizine (Zyrtec), fexofenadine (Allegra), or diphenhydramine (Benadryl). There are both over-the-counter and prescription options available. Always consult your healthcare provider to ensure these are safe for you.

Remember, no treatment plan is one-size-fits-all. It's crucial to discuss your symptoms with a healthcare provider, who can guide you in creating a tailored plan to manage your specific allergies to crested wheatgrass pollen. You might also need a medical prescription for an emergency epinephrine autoinjector (EpiPen), especially if you have severe allergic reactions.

Lastly, consider seeking allergy shots or sublingual immunotherapy, treatments that boost your immune system's tolerance to allergens. These treatments can be particularly effective in helping you manage your allergies long-term. Your allergist can help determine if these treatments are right for you.

Follow these home preparation tips and you will be well on your way to having a much easier crested wheatgrass pollen season.

Why prevention is more effective than allergy medicine

Exposure therapy:
Train your immune system to fight allergies rather than treat them with medications
Desensitization: Symptoms subside as your body desensitized to allergies reducing or eliminating the need for daily medication
Prevention: Immunotherapy helps prevent and fight allergies at the source
