Allergies and Asthma are conditions that are usually triggered by “trigger factors” that can be found both indoor and outdoor environments. Prevention of an asthma attack or allergy exacerbation can be controlled by controlling exposure to the below triggers. If avoidance is not possible, minimizing exposure is vital.
Common triggers include:
- tobacco
- smoke
- perfumes
- dust
- dust mites
- pet dander
- pet hair
- chemicals (lysol and other household cleaning chemicals)
- paints
- new carpets and the glues that they admit
- cold viruses
For in home allergy prevention, HEPA filters, non HEPA air cleaners and home allergy cleaning supplies can all be helpful. Austin Air HEPA filters and Blue Air HEPA filter units are among the industry leaders when it comes to indoor air HEPA filters. These units are doctor recommended for those with allergies and asthma.

My allergies are triggered mostly by perfumes and other chemicals in the air, which makes it hard to go to restaurants and many public places. If someone is wearing perfume anywhere around me my allergies kick up immediately.
