For some people, allergies are an irritating part of everyday life.
The sneezing, watery, itchy eyes, and nasal congestion can feel neverending.
Annually, over 50 million Americans experience various allergies. It can be seasonal, but it’s technically always allergy season if you count irritants like pet dander and dust mites that collect on a variety of surfaces.
And if those types of environmental allergies are in your workplace, you’ll want to know how to deal with allergies — and the causes — promptly.
