Shopping by mail, email or by phone is another option. You may want to choose an artificial tree since evergreens carry pollen and moulds that can cause asthma symptoms. Artificial trees stored for a year are sure to have accumulated dust, and should be dusted thoroughly outdoors. Decorations should be stored in sealed plastic containers. If you have an evergreen tree, you can lessen the allergens by keeping it for less time.
Food is an essential part of the holiday celebrations nuts, dried fruits, egg nog, etc.
If you have food allergies, be sure to ask about ingredients before you eat. If in doubt, don t eat it. Some people with asthma are sensitive to sulfites which can be found in beer, wine, champagne, dried fruits, grapes, pickle relishes, etc. The best way to avoid it is to read the package labels or inquire about the ingredients. The holiday season is special for children.
