Millions of people suffer from allergies caused by everyday exposures to allergens such as dust mites, mold, pet dander, and pollens. According to the CDC, the number of allergy suffers is actually one in five Americans! Are you or someone in your home one of them? If the answer is yes there are easy steps you can take to help protect your family from the nasty “triggers” that set of the allergic reaction and limit coming in contact to known allergens in order to prevent symptoms.
