9-Keep the drainage system clear of debris and leaves so that the water from the downspouts flows away from the house.

10-Avoid bringing pollen to your house when you return from outdoor. Stick to drying your clothes in a vented dryer instead of drying them outdoor on a clothesline.

11-With a saline spray rinse your nasal passage after returning from outdoors to get rid of any pollen that you might have inhaled.
