If you have a choice, avoid placing carpeting or large rugs in any rooms in your home. It is hard to clean a carpet properly and the particles they hold, such as dust, pollen and dander, could trigger your allergy symptoms. Make use of flooring that can be mopped or swept clean instead.
Although skin tests can be helpful for identifying potential allergens, they can not predict the severity of a person’s allergic reaction to an allergen. The test that you take might tell you what spores you will have a reaction to. And, although you may not experience discomfort, it is possible to show mild symptoms after exposure to the allergen.
