Reduce your grass allergies now

Is lawn care causing your grass pollen allergies to be a nuisance?
Here are quality tips from health care and yard professionals to help you breathe easier.

Tip #1 – This is often overlooked, but if you take allergy medication, don’t forget to take the medication every day. It takes awhile to build a proper level in your body and it is your first line of defense.
Tip #2 – Wear a mask and keep it in good shape or replace it often.
Tip #3 – Mow your lawn frequently. This may sound counterintuitive, but letting your grass grow long increases the amount of pollen it releases. Cut your grass down to two inches or shorter.
Tip #4 – Pollen counts are generally lower in the evening so do your mowing in the evening.
Tip#5 – Use a mower with a bagger and a MowClean cover installed. Leaving the grass cuttings upon the yard to dry and blow in the wind just adds more pollen and debris in the air.
Tip #6 – Shower immediately after mowing.
Tip #7 – Flush nose twice daily with light saline or salt water to remove allergens.
