If you believe that you may have an allergy to the things within your home, immediately seek a physician to help you identify the cause of your symptoms.
Your doctor will ask you detailed questions about your medical history, and about your home and work-life environment to help you identify your triggers.
Your doctor may also perform a series of tests to observe your reaction to certain elements to pinpoint and confirm the allergy.
After your allergy has been identified, your doctor will provide a treatment that may include medication or recommendations for your household cleaning routine.
Just remember as you clean your home, rock out with Queen’s lyrics and say, “Another One Bites the Dust.”
