Those invisible irritants and allergens can cause itchy, watery eyes, stuffy nose, sore throat, that cough that just won't go away.
The alveolar membrane, which lines the lungs, has a surface area about the size of a tennis court. This mucosal membrane is responsible for bringing oxygen into the body. It can also bring unwanted particles (molds, pollen,dust mites and pet allergens) into the body and trigger an allergic response.As if that wasn’t bad enough, our world is filled with VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) from thousands of man made materials (particle board, cleaning products and plastics). People with chemical sensitivities or those who are exposed to high levels of these chemical toxins (beauty shops, garages, artist studios, funeral homes and clothing stores) may pay a significant price with their health.
Now you can fight back against:
ChemicalsOrdinary household cleaners such as ammonia and many detergents can cause allergy-like symptoms in sensitive individuals. Other sources of chemical sensitivity include: formaldehyde, (which is found in particleboard, textiles, paints and carpeting), plastics, perfumes, cigarette smoke, and plants. VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) including formaldehyde are byproducts of many man made materials and may be carcinogenic. (See EPA report on Indoor Air Quaility)
Dust Mites
Dust mites are microscopic organisms that live in common household dust. Dust mites can cause year round allergic rhinitis and even asthma. Dust mites live in bedding, upholstered furniture, curtains, and carpets. They especially thrive in warm temperatures.
Microbial Pathogens
Bacteria, virus and fungi are microscopic organisms that can live in the air. When a loved one becomes ill, caution is appropriate, as these particles can spread infectious disease.
Mold Spores
Molds are microscopic fungal spores that can cause allergic rhinitis, asthma, or even lung disease. Mold can be found basements, bathrooms and other damp household areas.
Pet Allergens
Pet dander or urine can cause allergic reactions. People are not only allergic to cats, dogs and birds, but also to rodents such as guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils and mice.
Pollen
Hay fever or allergic rhinitis is triggered by the pollen from flowering trees, grasses and plants. Seasonal by nature, pollen can overwhelm the body's immune system and create a host of respiratory problems.
Tobacco Smoke
Even non-smokers can be affected by tobacco smoke. Studies have shown exposure to second-hand smoke can have serious health repercussions whether at work, at home, or in the car.
