Traveling with Allergies – Allergy Proof the Hotel Room

Posted in Allergies
If you are like me, you have put a great deal of time, effort, and expense into making your bedroom as allergy-free as possible.  When you travel, you leave all that protection behind.  Whether you are traveling for business or pleasure, you want to feel your best.  That means you need some way to take that protection with you.
It is possible, it just takes a little planning.  A step by step guide is included here.
In addition, you can call in advance and find out if the hotel has rooms without carpeting.  If they are available, make your request in advance. They will be much more able to accommodate your needs if they know before you check in.
I am also a great fan of traveling with some quantity of ADMS Anti-Allergen Spray.  Whether I’m traveling by car and can pack a full quart or traveling by air and must pack a smaller quantity, I don’t leave home without it.
Once, hubby and I traveled to Atlanta for a business-related seminar and stayed in an older hotel in the downtown area.  I was a little nervous about the place because of my allergies, but you just can’t beat the charm of some of these older southern hotels. (I mean you aren’t in Charleston if you aren’t in the Francis Marion!) When we arrived in the lobby I thought there might be a problem.  When we got to our room and opened the door, I just knew immediately I was going to be ill.  While it was a great updated room, it still was old.  Mike is such a great guy. He just said, “No problem..we’ll just move”.  But before we took that step we broke out the bottle of ADMS and sprayed down the upholstered furniture, the carpeting, and applied an extra heavy dose to the AC unit.  I sprayed the bedspread and then turned it back and sprayed all the bedding.
We freshened up and decided to grab a bite of dinner and see how the room was when we returned.
After a great meal we walked back to the room and opened the door cautiously.  I could feel an immediate difference.  The denaturing agents in ADMS had been hard at work while I had been having a relaxing meal.
I slept as well that night as I would in my own bed.  The next morning, I gave the bedding and bedspread a quick spray before I left the room.  No problems.  As a matter of fact, the stay was as pleasurable as I have ever had.
So you can travel with allergies if you are prepared. Make the best of your summer vacation.

Another Allerpet Success Story!

Posted in Pets
This is the kind of email that just makes your day!  A customer wanted to get a kitten, but her Dad was allergic to cats. She didn’t want the kitten to keep her Dad from regular visits.  This is what she writes…..
“The first time Dad came over after I got the kitten, which happened to be the morning before I received your product, he did not stay long and said he needed to leave because his eyes and throat were starting to bother him. 

Later that day, UPS came with your delivery and since that day, I have been putting the Allerpet/c solution on my kitten once a week.   Dad has been over twice since, and has not said anything nor seemed in a hurry to go.  I told him last visit to let me know if he was or wasn’t feeling any reaction so I’d know whether to bother with continuing to use the solution on my kitten.  So far, it seems to be going well.”

She also writes “Dad will be moving away, but I think I do have a slight sensitivity to cats myself as about on the 7th day my nose will start itching a bit so I think I would continue to use the Allerpet/c solution”
Once again, with the help of Allerpet/C people who are allergic to cats and cat lovers are living in harmony.
She went on to ask about another of the products we carry that is recommended for cat allergy, the ADMS Anti-Allergen Spray.  She had been thinking that she could use the two products in conjunction.  She was absolutely right!  When you apply the Allerpet/C to the cat, you catch the protein as it is still adhered to the animal.  When you use the AMDS, you are catching the protein that has already escaped the cat.  As a bonus, the ADMS works on dust mite, pollen, and mold allergens that may be lurking about also.
These kinds of stories are what keep you getting up the in the morning and doing what you do…helping others.

Must Be For Guys .. Gadgets For Dust Mite Allergies?

Posted in Dust Mite StudiesTagged

I just got this and it must have been written with guys in mind. Who calls vacuum cleaners and air purifiers gadgets except a guy. Read it for yourself

First of all, an air purifier is not your first line of defense. Keeping the allergens (pollen, grass, mold, etc) outside is the first thing you need to do. Change clothes as soon as you get in the house. Take your shoes off. Keep the windows closed. Get the idea.

Next the cheap filters, $99, will not last more than a year or two at best. You get what you pay for. Why does the Rabbit cost $400. Its a better filter.. Also they mention purifiers with UV for mold and bacteria. The only mold or bacteria the UV light kills is what gets caught on the filter. Don’t think for a moment they will kill the mold spores and bacteria in the room.

I’ll address the rest of the gadgets tomorrow.

 

 

Honoring Those Who Gave Their All

Today we won’t talk allergies.
Today we will talk about those who were willing to die so that we might live free.
Lets pause and remember what Memorial Day is really about.
Lots of places try to lay claim to being the home of Memorial Day.  It really doesn’t matter how it began, but begin it did, after the end of the Civil War (or the War of Northern Aggression as it was called when I was growing up). A nation that had lost so many needed a way to honor their dead. Women from the South and North decorated the graves of fallen soldiers. General John Logan issued a command that flowers were to be laid on the graves of soldiers at Arlington Cemetery on May 30, 1868.
Memorial Day didn’t become a national holiday observed on the last Monday in May until 1971.  Several southern states still honor the Confederate dead on a separate day.
So if you aren’t participating in a ceremony or attending a memorial service or decorating a soldier’s grave, then please take a moment.  Remember those brave men and women who believed so strongly in your liberty that they were willing to die to preserve it.  Remember how precious that liberty is and to resist those who would take it away.
Give thanks for the fallen..

Gardening with Allergies

Just because you have allergies doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy gardening.
Just follow these tips:
If you have allergies to pollen, try not to garden on clear, windy days. These are the days that the trees and grasses are releasing the most pollen.  While the skies may not seem as friendly when they are cloudy or the weather is damp, these are the most allergy-friendly times to garden if pollen is your trigger.
When you are finished in the garden, take a shower and change your clothes, and wash your hair. You don’t want to spread any pollen around the house.  Leave your gardening shoes outside. Also, don’t change clothes in your bedroom.  Changing your clothes after you garden will send molds and pollens into the air and they will then settle.  You don’t want them to settle on or around your bed.
If you are allergic to mold, be sure to wear a mask.  Many molds are found in the soil.  When you dig, pull weeds, hoe, or do other activities to disturb the soil, those molds can become airborne and inhaled. The Q-Mask is perfect for gardening.  It fits comfortably around the ears, the pleated design keeps the mask off your mouth so it doesn’t get hot, and the nose and cheek area is form fitting so it molds perfectly to your face.  If you wear glasses or sunglasses, the Q-Mask won’t cause them to fog up.
Wash your gloves frequently to remove any molds or pollens that may be captured.
Keep grass short. Mow grass before it has a chance to make pollen.
The showier the flower, the greater chances it produces yellow waxy pollen. These types of pollens are not generally the culprit when it comes to hay fever and seasonal allergies.  So, choose plants that attract bees or butterflies for pollination.
Flowers or vegetables, the choice is yours. Don’t use allergies as an excuse not to enjoy the outdoors.
