Allergy Avoidance
Is it possible for you to avoid your allergy triggers?
You may not be able to avoid all of the things that cause an allergic reaction, but you can take specific measures to significantly lessen your exposure to the most common allergy triggers, namely, house dust mites, mold, animal dander and pollen. Understanding these major allergens and how you're exposed to them is the first step in managing your allergies.
Reducing your exposure to allergens through avoidance and environmental control is the most basic, cost effective and least invasive treatment an allergic person can have. Take control and actively participate in the management of your allergies.

We encourage you to learn all you can about your allergies and asthma. Because it is sometimes difficult to know which information to trust, we at Allergy & Asthma Associates of Middle Tennessee have put together "Allergy and Asthma Information on the Web" that provides sound, accurate and trusted medical information.
We encourage you to use this information wisely and ask your doctor any additional questions you may have—only your doctor can give you information that is specifically appropriate for your unique health issues.
