Blanket Ban on Pets and Root out Plants

Pets can make great companions, not to mention prolific facilitators of likes on social media. However, no one wants to tweet about their allergies kept them up all night – so it’s best to banish pets from the room at bed time. Fur, saliva and debris carried by animals can all trigger allergic attacks. It’s also a good idea to keep plants out of the bedroom, particularly ones containing pollen as these could easily set off allergies.

A Clean Sweep of Allergies
