While driving to school or work during a peak allergy season, set your vehicle's air-conditioning unit to "recirculate."

You can try to avoid things that cause your allergies, but some things are not easily avoidable. Learning how to manage symptoms will allow you to enjoy certain situations, rather than running from them. Educate yourself about allergies so you can better manage them.
