Our caregivers can take certain steps inside a senior’s home to help keep allergic reactions to a minimum, such as bathing them before bed to prevent outdoor pollen from getting on their sheets.” “(more tips below) Allergy Symptoms: Adverse reaction to various substances, including pollen, trees, grass, weeds, dust and molds (mildew).
