A Resource About Allergy Control ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you sniffle and sneeze at home, you may be one of the 30 million Americans that suffer from indoor allergies. Cleaning your home thoroughly to prevent dust build-ups helps but did you know that your air conditioner, dehumidifier and furnace may be the source of the most irritating indoor allergies. A free brochure, "Home Checklist for Allergy Control", offers practical advice about these most overlooked indoor allergy triggers. In fact these climate control units are ideal breeding grounds for mold and bacteria which are the leading causes of indoor allergies. Do you upgrade the filter in your air conditioner? Do you use distilled water in your humidifier? Is your home heated by forced air, electric baseboard heat or radiator heat? Do you keep the fireplace flue open even when the fireplace is not in use? Your responses to these questions can mean the difference between allergy relief and allergy grief. For a copy of the free brochure that provides the answers, call the Asthma and Allergy Information Center and Hotline 1-800-727-5400. The booklet is offered as a public service by the makers of Allerest. ---------------- The material contained here is "FOR INFORMATION ONLY" and should not replace the counsel and advice of your personal physician.
