FAQs

What are some of the most common allergy triggers?

Some of the most common allergy triggers include perfumes, pollen, dust, and pet dander.

What can I do to reduce my exposure to these allergens?

There are a few things you can do to reduce your exposure to allergens, including

  • Wearing glasses or sunglasses when outdoors to protect your eyes from pollen and dust
  • Keeping your windows closed to keep out pollen and dust
  • Removing your shoes when you come inside to avoid bringing in dust and pollen
  • bathing your pets regularly to reduce the amount of pet dander in your home

Are there any specific fragrances that are less likely to trigger allergies?

There is no one “safe” fragrance that is guaranteed not to trigger allergies. However, some fragrances are less likely to cause a reaction than others, so it’s worth trying a few different scents until you find one that doesn’t bother you.

What should I do if I start experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction?

If you start experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as itchy eyes, watery eyes, sneezing, or a runny nose, try taking an over-the-counter antihistamine. If the symptoms don’t go away, or if they get worse, see your doctor.

When it comes to choosing a perfume, it’s important to keep your allergies in mind.
