In regards to your post below:
If you are dealing with multiple allergens at once (like smoke, pet dander, mold, etc.) just removing yourself from the situation isn't enough. By then your allergic reaction is already going to be triggered and the repercussions are going to set in. I have to take meds and even then my symptoms will still last the rest of the day. (Really tired, body aches, severe jaw pain, headaches.) A lot of times it will bring on migraines too.
If I know that I will be around stuff I'm allergic to (like my uncle smokes and I can smell it on him ~ ugh.) I will take meds in advance and that helps somewhat. Try rinsing out your nasal cavity (or use a damp q-tip inside your nostril) it helps remove some allergens that might be sitting there. Also, if I'm going to be around animals (petting them) or dust/mold of any kind I have to wear a mask. (A thick one used for painting.)
I think you had more questions, feel free to e-mail me. erin @ dfmidesigns dot com
