‘Tis The Season To Be… Sneezy?
Bah, Humbug? If Christmas leaves you feeling irritable, you might not be suffering from a Scrooge complex but be the estimated one in seven of us allergic to Christmas. Research carried out in America has shown dramatic increases in asthma and sinus problems around the festive season, a fact attributed in part to the humble Christmas tree. Measurements recorded high levels of mould spores in homes featuring a live tree, triggering allergic symptoms that lasted until the tree was removed in the New Year.
If you’re an allergy sufferer, the festive season isn’t necessarily a time to be cheerful with pesky allergens lurking in the unlikeliest of places. From a live tree’s mould spores causing perennial rhinitis and aggravating respiratory symptoms to nuts in Christmas treats, allergies are just as much of a problem at Christmas as at any other time. For some sufferers, the onset of the party season actually heralds the start of one of the most unpleasant periods of the year.
With this in mind, anti-allergy emporium AllergyBestBuys is gearing up to help sufferers enjoy a more pleasurable Christmas with hundreds of tried and trusted products and professional advice on the best allergy busting homewares, gifts and cosmetics.
“Fighting the symptoms of common ailments such as asthma, eczema, food intolerance and chemical sensitivity can make eating Christmas lunch and applying make-up for festive parties a real minefield,” said Janet Rhodes, founder of the online superstore. “It makes relaxing almost impossible as the symptoms not only affect the sufferer but loved ones around them celebrating the holidays.”
Packed full of useful stocking fillers, best sellers on site at this time of the year include Nickel Solution, a two step product to warn against Nickel in jewellery and guard against direct contact with the skin. There’s also a host of useful books such as ‘Let’s eat Out’ the guide to eating out while managing food intolerances and skin care and makeup products that allergy sufferers often find hard to source; Suncoat Natural Mascara is chemical free and available in a choice of soft brown or black. A party favourite, the mascara has been rigorously tested by AllergyBestBuys allergy sufferers and received glowing reviews for staying power and kindness to eyes.
For the one in seven of us allergic to the tree, the super efficient AirFree Air Steriliser is guaranteed to banish airborne mould spores without dampening the festive spirit.
