Why fight allergies?
Allergies not only significantly impair quality of life but can also lead to serious health problems. Untreated allergies can promote chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and reduce overall well-being. Therefore, it is important to recognize and treat allergy symptoms at an early stage.

Causes – Triggers of Allergies
Pollen allergy, also known as hay fever, is one of the most common allergies. It mainly occurs during the spring and summer months, but due to climate change, it now extends over an increasingly longer period.
House dust mites are tiny arachnids found in almost every household. They can trigger strong allergic reactions.
Dogs and cats are also often carriers of allergens that can severely affect sensitive individuals.

Allergy symptoms and their effects
Allergies can cause a variety of symptoms, including sneezing, itchy eyes, blocked or runny nose, skin rashes and respiratory problems. These symptoms have a negative impact on quality of life. They also promote sleep disorders, tiredness and concentration problems.
If an allergy is not treated, it can become chronic and the inflammatory processes in the body may spread to other organs. For example, hay fever can develop into allergic asthma. Early treatment counteracts the spread. If you suspect you have an allergy, you should always consult a medical professional and have your symptoms investigated.
Tips for alleviating allergy symptoms
Regular airing of the rooms
Fresh air from outside helps to improve indoor air quality. Regular airing is recommended to ensure a good exchange of air. You can find tips on ventilation during different seasons in the following articles:

- Proper heating and airing in winter
- Does airing increase the humidity in winter?
Avoidance of allergens
If possible, it is advisable to reduce contact with allergens as much as possible. For example, monitor the pollen count in spring and summer, see what time of day there is the least pollen flying around in your area and use this to determine the best time to open the windows. If you suffer from an animal allergy, you can invite your friends with pets over without their animals and ask them to wear fresh clothes.
Hygiene and cleanliness
Regular vacuuming and damp mopping help to minimise dust and mites. If you have an allergy, you should also wash your bed linen regularly (approx. once a week) at high temperatures or use allergy-friendly bed linen. It is generally recommended to wash bed linen at 60 °C. However, please also note the temperature on the label of your bed linen.
