April Showers Bring… Allergies? Prepare for a Healthier Spring

Written by OneShare Health | 2:00 PM on April 16, 2025

The arrival of spring often brings a sense of renewal—warmer weather, longer days, and the beauty of blooming flowers. But for many, it also brings something less welcome: allergy season.

Runny noses, watery eyes, and constant sneezing can make even the sunniest day feel like a struggle. Thankfully, as a Member of OneShare Health, you're never facing these challenges alone. Our Health Care Sharing Ministry offers meaningful support and tools to help you stay well and enjoy this vibrant time of year.

Clear the Air: Small Changes with Big Impact

Your home should be your haven, especially during allergy season. Take a few simple steps to limit indoor allergens:

  • Leave shoes and outerwear at the door to keep pollen from spreading.

  • Wash your bedding weekly in hot water to eliminate allergens.

  • Use a HEPA-filter vacuum and dust often—ideally daily during peak season.

  • Run an air purifier and remember to clean or replace its filter monthly.

If you’re spending time outdoors, consider wearing a mask on high pollen days and avoid areas with tall grass or freshly cut lawns. Showering and washing your hair before bed can prevent allergens from transferring to your pillow and disturbing your sleep.

And if these everyday efforts feel overwhelming, don’t hesitate to lean on others. Whether it’s asking a friend for help or hiring a cleaner for the season, remember—it’s okay to ask for support.
