Purchase (zip-up) pillow
cases that are designed to keep tiny dust mites and bed bugs from
causing you problems.
Keep lots of clean-air plants in your home.
Breathe through your nose as nose hairs filter air and do so before
it enters the body. Breathing through the mouth means that this
filtration has to occur in the lungs.
Vacuum daily: Using your vacuum
cleaner daily will help rid your home of dust mites, and will help clean
up pet dandruff and fur, if you have pets. You can try using a dust
mask to keep your allergies from acting up and causing poor breathing.
Wear a facial mask while using strong household cleaning products. These
may cause breathing problems. Use antibacterial wipes on computer
keyboards, door knobs, etc., especially if you have a sick family
member; colds can lead to serious problems.
Spray perfume below the face
and neck area, as far away from your face as you can get.
