Tips to Remember
To prevent an exercise induced asthma attack use your rescue inhaler (Albuterol) fifteen minutes prior to starting the physical activity.
When attending parties, inform the host or the chefs about your food allergy and ask about the ingredients used to prepare the meal. Homeade items do not have ingredients lists and can be contaminated with trace amounts of allergenic foods.
Carry self-injectable epinephrine, such as an Epi-pen, in case you accidentally eat a food to which you are allergic.
If visiting relatives or friends homes who have pets, take medication before arriving to minimize a possible reaction.
Before decorating a live Christmas tree, allow it to dry out on an enclosed porch or garage. Clean artificial Christmas trees outside before decorating because they can gather mold and dust in storage.
