What do you think of when someone says they have allergies? Chances are you probably think about seasonal allergies that create havoc every year in the Spring, but did you know that harmful allergens are hiding in your Collierville home all throughout the year? If you have noticed that your “seasonal” Spring allergies have started going beyond the Spring season, or not going away at all, the problem might be inside the four walls of your home.
When it comes to indoor allergens, it’s what you don’t see that hurts you. The culprit in the Spring is easy to identify: pollen. The issue with indoor allergens is that there can be many culprits.
The Dangers of Indoor Allergens In Your Home
Many people around the world suffer from allergies. Such illnesses often lead to the development of many other kinds like sinusitis, asthma etc. One of the common reasons behind this is the significant exposure to pet allergen along with dust mites.
Your home might become a storehouse of these harmful things, without you knowing. Wondering how? The carpets, rugs and the upholstery you possess attract various kinds of allergens, along with other potentially harmful components.
Is Your Collierville Home Making You Sick?
According to WebMD, an estimated 50 million Americans are allergic to everything from dust and dander, to mold and mites. Are you one of the 50 million Americans? Indoor allergy symptoms can be hard to specifically identify because they often mimic cold symptoms. With the reality that every Collierville home harbors potential indoor allergens, chances are, without taking steps to combat indoor allergens, your Collierville home is making you sick.
Indoor Allergen Triggers in Your Collierville Home
Pet Dander
If your family has pets, one thing you are probably very familiar with is pet hair. When pets shed, it’s not just the hair they leave behind. Pets also leave behind dander, which can trigger allergic reactions in some people. Pet dander is not hair, but dead skin flakes that fall off your pet and land on furniture or end up hiding deep within your carpet fibers.
Dust Mites
Dust mites are common indoor allergens that are found in most of the homes in Collierville TN. If you have heard of dust mites, but don’t exactly know what they are, here’s a quick answer: Dust mites are microscopic, insect-like pests that live in the dust of your home. They feed on flakes of dead skin, or dander, that are shed by people and pets.
According to the Mayo Clinic, a dust mite allergy can range from mild to severe. A mild allergic reaction may cause you to have an occasional runny nose, watery eyes or sneezing; however, in severe cases, the condition may result in persistent sneezing, coughing, congestion, facial pressure or even severe asthma attacks.
Mold
There is a simple fact about mold: it’s everywhere. Mold is in the air and grows where there is moisture. Some people are very sensitive to mold and have physical reactions much like those listed above with dust mites. Mold is extremely dangerous to people with immune issues or with other respiratory illnesses. Removing mold from your Collierville home can be a difficult allergen to get rid of due to the many places it can grow.
Insects
One thing that we all know about Collierville is that it can be a very hot and humid climate for most of the year, meaning that many insects thrive here. The cockroach happens to be one of those insects. The main thing that cockroaches need to survive is food and a moist environment, which means that your kitchen and bathroom are hotspots for this insect.
Did you know that if a cockroach finds a warm, humid place and has access to food and moisture, it can actually live for close to a year? Without those critical things, its lifespan is only a few days. When insects die, they decompose, which unfortunately creates tiny particles that become airborne in your home. These particles can settle in fabrics or carpets and can also trigger allergic reactions in your family.
Why Indoor Air Quality Matters
According to the EPA, Americans spend, on average, 90% of their time indoors. The air inside your Collierville home can contain a concentration of pollutants that are 2-5 times higher than typical outdoor concentrations. If you are experiencing symptoms from indoor allergens, a great place to begin the road to a healthier home is by having the carpet and upholstery treated to remove the allergen triggers hiding deep within the fibers. Our allergy relief treatment helps remove the presence of indoor allergens, almost entirely.
