The pollen season is already taking its toll. Are you troubled by pollen of flowering grass, birch or ambrosis every year? So do not pull them home on the dried laundry!
Drying outdoors is the best. Or not?
Do you have allergy sufferers at home? Hen fever cled the house with blooming flowers? If the main allergen in your family is primarily pollen, then it would be good to think about how you dry the laundry. Do you find that there is no connection between allergy and drying? Not at first glance. The other is quite sure!
It is our garments that can collect pollen from the plants during drying. To prevent this, there is no choice but to start drying the linen inside. A glazed loggia or balcony may come in handy, where the laundry can be dried very quickly, because it is really warm. Moreover, this place is protected by glass, so it will not even be pollen.
Other options are, of course, using a dryer or dryer inside in the house. Although drying laundry in the house has some disadvantages, if you have a really strong allergy sufferer in your home, then you know how unpleasant it can be spring.
Pollen is caught on the laundry!
Although it is quite logical that the pollen can be caught on the laundry, it is not only about assumptions, but a proven fact. Many professional studies were also dealt with by capturing pollen on dried laundry. The Danish study of 2005, which you would find in the Astma-Alergi journal Danmark, states that pollen is better caught on cotton substances than on synthetic materials.
Other professional work, which dates back to 2010 and is Swedish, warns that the laundry of dried outside noticeably increases the concentration of allergens in households. This study was published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Volume 125, Issue 6, June 2010.
This fact was confirmed by another German study published in the magazine Allergology, Band 35, Heft 5, from 2012. So it is definitely not a assumption or only a slight influence on our environment.
Where else does pollen catches? In the cavities
If the pollen is your enemy, then you should also know that during inhalation it gets into your airways, but also cavities, which are empty corridors in front of our face around the nose, face and forehead. These cavities literally become pollen traps during the pollen season.
What to do when you suffer from pollen of flowering grasses and plants and trees? Stop breathing? Wear a veil? I guess not. To get rid of the pollen accumulated in the cavities, you can learn to use salt rinsing.
Salt rinsing has just such a salinity to not irritate your mucous membranes. The use of rinsing may initially be breakneck, but soon you will get used to the practice and the positives will soon come.
The sinus rinsing helps not only in allergies but also in chronic rhinitis. Sometimes bacterial can also be averted due to rinsing. The rinsing can alleviate the manifestations of pollen allergies, but it should be performed regularly, ideal every morning. Of course, you will not be relieved of the manifestations of allergy quite quite, but it can contribute significantly to improvement.
