Winter allergies

We think we have a cold and cough because of the cold. But this is not always the case, even in winter allergies are present.

The tree branches are dry, the grass is frozen, you don't have a cold, and yet you keep sneezing as if in the middle of a pollen season. If you really don't have a cold, you may be suffering from a winter allergy. Because of the cold weather, we spend a lot more time indoors and don't ventilate our homes much. Without fresh air, we end up breathing in micro-particles that irritate our airways and trigger allergies.

But not only! 

In the air of our homes we can find dust, fabric fibres and bacteria that make people vulnerable to allergies. There is no need to feel relieved that there are no leaves on the trees or flowers in the gardens: indoor allergens such as dust mites, mould and possible pet hair circulate in the air in our homes during the winter. In winter we spend much more time in enclosed spaces, so we are always in contact with circulating particles.
