Stay indoors and keep windows closed from late morning to midafternoon when weed pollen counts are highest.

Wash away pollens immediately after coming

in from outside.

Wear a mask when raking leaves or using a leaf

blower.

Clean heat vents and change your furnace filter to remove mold or other allergens left over from

summer.

Avoid bonfire smoke, wood fireplaces and stoves, and dust on stored blankets.
