Tips for preventing dust and flies in the middle of autumn. To prevent your allergy symptoms from worsening, follow the following tips:
– Use high-quality air filters
Studies show that purifying the air with high-quality filters can reduce airborne allergens and possibly alleviate allergies.

Showering before bed can get rid of pollen and dust left on your body, hair and clothes while you sleep, which may protect you from any irritation later on.
– Close the windows in your house
Although fresh air is certainly one way to boost your immune system, on dusty days, this can make your allergy symptoms worse.

Eat foods rich in vitamin C
Avoiding allergies means making sure your immune system is at its best.
By eating foods rich in antioxidants and high in vitamin C, this can be as easy as adding fresh lemon juice or a little apple cider vinegar to your morning glass of water or some citrus fruits to your meals.

Foods rich in quercetin
Quercetin, found in many fruits and vegetables, is an anti-inflammatory and a bioflavonoid, or type of antioxidant, that gives plants their pigment, which regulates the production and release of histamine.
