One individual became sick after just a short trip to the grocery store where a floor had been cleaned with an offending chemical. Some people are forced to minimize their exposure to the outside world and keep strict guidelines for their indoor environments. More and more of us are becoming affected as we are increasingly exposed to toxic chemicals in our environments. As our bodies fight to deal with this exposure, our immune systems become overworked and we start to experience allergic responses. These responses can manifest in a variety of ways and it is often difficult pinpoint the exact allergen making us sick.
Avoidance is the best way in which to reduce exposure to environmental pollutions.
This is often difficult, given the fact that we may not always know what chemicals are being used in any given environment. When making purchases for our homes and offices, ask about chemicals that may have been used in the product s manufacturing process. Use environmental control products designed to control or block allergens in our environments. And most important, pay attention to how we feel when something new is introduced into our environment. Sometimes our bodies give us warning signs that can help us eliminate many allergens from our environment.
