About these articles

Written From The Exam Room.

Our founder spent more than thirty years in private allergy practice before starting AllergyEasy.These pieces began as his blog and have been updated and consolidated.

The usual suspects

Four Allergen-Heavy Careers.

Animal careDander, saliva and the pollen and dust trapped in fur. Vets, groomers, trainers and shelter staff. HEPA filters and hand washing help a little.
Landscaping and gardeningAirborne tree, grass and weed pollen all day, plus molds in soil, leaves and compost. Masks, gloves and sleeves reduce but do not stop it.
Salons and housekeepingHairspray, fragrance and chemical fumes in one; stirred-up dust and bathroom mold in the other.

On the job

Protect What You Can.

Masks, gloves, filters, washing up and changing clothes before you drive home all lower the daily load.They rarely bring it to zero, and the symptoms that follow, congestion, itchy eyes, fatigue, headaches, cost concentration and sick days. Many people choose a career they love and then spend years medicated through it.A pet-sitting business owner who developed allergies mid-career did not close the business. She treated the allergy.
Treatment path
