INDOOR NASAL ALLERGIES
Allergens may cause people who have indoor nasal allergies to sneeze, or have other
symptoms like itchy or runny nose. Here is a list of some common indoor allergens
that can trigger nasal allergy symptoms.
Dust mites are microscopic creatures that feed on small particles
of plant and animal material. People are not allergic to dust mites; they are allergic
to dust mite droppings.
Animal dander (or dead skin flakes) contains a microscopic protein
that triggers an allergic reaction. It has very little to do with fur alone. Pets,
even hairless cats or dogs, have dander.
Cockroaches have a protein in their droppings that can trigger
an allergic reaction. This is especially important for children who live in areas
where cockroaches thrive.
Indoor molds require damp and warm environments to grow. While
most common household molds are not harmful, some of the spores produced by them
can cause nasal allergy symptoms. Bathrooms and basements are places around the
house where molds are commonly found.
