Please log in or register to answer this question. 12 Answers 6 votes Sorry Dark, this is one time you are wrong. Air Slash is not that good because Swellow has higher Attack. Here is my recommended moveset: Brave Bird: High power, high accuracy, STAB, Roost heals Swellow. Make sure to also hold a Shell Bell for quick healing right away. Roost: Used to heal Swellow, especially from Brave Bird recoil. Steel Wing: Decent power, decent accuracy, chance to raise defense, used to deal with Rock and Ice types. Facade: If you do ever get a status condition, this combined with Guts will become incredibly powerful. If you get poisoned or burned, the Shell Bell will heal you also. If you don't have a status condition then this move still has decent power, high accuracy, and STAB. answered Jul 20, 2010 by trachy Crap, I thought it was physical.-How could I have missed that!? commented Jul 20, 2010 by DarkTyphlosion edited Jul 20, 2010 by DarkTyphlosion The word Slash in there throw you off? Same here. commented Jul 20, 2010 by trachy Is the guts ability Swellow better than the Dream World scrappy ability Swellow? commented May 27, 2011 by AleX647 Boomburst is still an option. You can breed it if you have a Noivern with Boomburst. commented Jan 18 by ChewyDonuts Please log in or register to add a comment. 3 votes Maybe this: Steel wing, decent power, physical move, deal with 2 weaknesses roost-recover damages Aerial ace-good power, good accuracy, STAB endeavor-Good when his health is low and roost won't help. answered Jul 20, 2010 by DarkTyphlosion edited Jul 20, 2010 by DarkTyphlosion He has low special attack, so air slash is worthless commented Jul 20, 2010 by Swampert I wrote that 18 seconds too late commented Jul 20, 2010 by Swampert Yeah, already answered this correctly. commented Jul 20, 2010 by trachy Please log in or register to add a comment. 2 votes Nature Jolly, Evs 4hp, 252attack, 252 speed Item: Flame orb Aerial ace/Brave bird(I reccomend Aerial ace becuase you are already taking enough damage from the flame orb) Facade(Works great with flame orb) Steel wing(Your only defense against rock and Ice) U-Turn(Incase you have to switch out you might as well do damage and you will hit first 90% of time becuase it is so fast) Flame orb will activate guts to make your attack acceptiable and no the burning doesn't cancel out the guts boost this has been confirmed answered Feb 19, 2011 by Speed freak With guts burning wont reduce the attack and also wont do damage as far as I know commented May 25, 2011 by dr_clock It does do damage. commented Sep 3, 2011 by Speed freak Please log in or register to add a comment. 2 votes Gen V Swellow (M) @ Flame Orb Trait: Guts EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Facade - Roost - Quick Attack - Pluck answered Apr 28, 2011 by trachy This moveset is terrible! With such a speed (max 383 on lv 100) you dont need no quick attack. Also, what happened to you? Two normal-type attacks? WIth that nature and EVs noone will outspeed you! Also, pluck is a weak move, rather use brave bird to later heal it with roost. Daaamn commented May 25, 2011 by dr_clock Reasoning here: I'd rather not have Brave Bird, since I'd rather not OHKO myself, with recoil and Flame Orb. So Pluck is the next best. Swellow isn't the type of Pokemon who can OHKO the foe, and as such I'd rather not really damage with Brave Bird but have Swellow KOd. And just because it has high speed doesn't mean it can't be outsped. Priority, higher base speed, Baton Passing speed boosts,speed boosts in general, Choice Scarf, all these things make it so that Swellow can be outsped a fair amount actually. So that is where priority comes in. And its not like it has other moves. Steel Wing is possible, but I'd rather not have Steel type coverage, seeing as Rock types usually have high defense and can take multiple Steel Wings and Ice types have poor defense and should be taken down by Facade. commented May 25, 2011 by trachy With Guts you wont get damaged from burn and poison as far as I know. *moves away from the mic to find out that pluck has the same base power as areal ace commented May 26, 2011 by dr_clock Guts still makes you get damaged by Burn and poison. The only thing it blocks about status effects is burns attack drop. commented May 26, 2011 by trachy This is not regarding swellow, but would a guts ability conkeldurr technically be better than a sheer force one? It could hold a flame orb and have facade. commented May 27, 2011 by AleX647 @trachy: Oh I didnt know @AleX: Yes. Even though a sheer force one could hold a life orb and then it wont get damage from it as far as I know commented May 27, 2011 by dr_clock Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Swellow (F) @ Flame Orb/Toxic Orb Trait: Guts EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature (+Spe, -SpA) Brave Bird Facade U-turn Protect/Roost Brave Bird is very good STAB. Facade is boosted by Guts and STAB. U-turn is for scouting and sending in another teammate. Protect is used to get the Boost from the respective orbs, safely. Toxic Orb will do less damage the first three turns but after that Flame Orb will do less. Roost heals Swellow and punishes Pokemon who try to stall it out with its orb. Obviously when using Roost Flame Orb is the better choice. answered Sep 2, 2011 by Hex edited Mar 1, 2012 by Hex Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Swellow @ Flame Orb Trait: Guts EV's: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature: (+Spd -SAtk) -Facade -Brave Bird -U-Turn/Roost/Protect -U-Turn/Roost/Protect The first two moves are obvious. Facade is stupidly powerful with Guts + STAB + Flame Orb. It reaches 236 Base Power. Brave Bird is basically it's only option to a STAB Flying move over base 60. So it's nice. The last two moves are based on what you want. U-Turn is awesome because it allows you to scout and get away from Steel and Rock type Pokemon which run amuck in the metagame. Roost let's you heal off brave bird damage and flame orb damage. Protect is also a very nice option as it allows you to scout what your opponent is going to do, and allow you to get the instant flame orb boost. These EV's and Nature give it 383 speed, which is just unbelievable. Flame Orb powers up Guts and Facade. Hope you guys like this moveset! answered Sep 3, 2011 by aStryker97 Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Swellow @ Flame Orb Ability: Guts Moveset: - Facade (STAB, good with flame orb/guts) - Arial Ace (STAB, infinite Acc) - Steel Wing (Coverage) - Roost (Heals you from the damage you have taken) answered Sep 28, 2011 by TheMyrMan Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Havn't used a Swellow in a while. Here's what I would consider: Adamant Nature Ev trained in Attack and Speed Guts Ability Flame/Toxic Orb Held Item Facade:Stab, good accuracy and double powered once your orb kicks in. U-Turn/Roost: Switch or heal when your health is low. Ariel Ace/Brave Bird: Stab and never misses/Stab, awesome power but the downside is the recoil damage. Protect/Steel Wing: Use this first to get your orb to activate/Deals with those troublesome Rock types. New here but I know what I'm doing. answered Apr 29, 2012 by metagurosu Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Epic bird: Adamant: Like to trash about----<Ev`s> Attack 255, 255 speed Item: Flame orb ---Ability: Guts Protect/sustitute---> One turn for the flame orb make effect Facade---> Burn, ability activated, attack, lets pick up the foe 100 miles away.. Work up/Sky attack: you want more attack ?/ cover by sustitute. Roost: heal all the damage from sustitute and the flame orb ^^^^ answered May 17, 2013 by jaravic Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Swellow (M) @Flame Orb Trait: Guts Nature: Jolly (+Spd -Sp. Atk) EVs:255Spd,249Atk,6HP. Moves: .Facade .Brave Bird .Roost .Protect So a way to use this moveset is say you up against a Gyrados or something like that, then all you have to do is use protect while it uses Thunder or something tada insta-burn and once that is done take them out with facade and if brave bird is what you choose for that job roost is always there for healing and that is how I suggest to use this moveset. answered Jun 15, 2013 by Hyper Flares Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Swellow (M) @ Flame Orb Ability: Guts EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SpA) - Facade - Aerial Ace - U-Turn - Tailwind Good support Swellow. The ability to set up sweeps for the rest of the team using Tailwind is great, while still keeping the ability to hit hard and fast. Facade is STAB and is insanely powerful when combined with Guts and Flame Orb. Aerial Ace > Pluck because the perfect accuracy is nice, and berries are very uncommon in competitive battling. U-Turn is great for scouting and will go first most of the time. Tailwind is obviously for team support and can get other sweeps going. answered Jun 16, 2013 by JarJar~ Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Swellow Ability: Guts Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -Satk) Item: Toxic Orb - U-Turn - Façade - Steel Wing - Brave Bird I plan to use this set for my Swellow. The Toxic Orb doesn't lower the power of my moves (except Façade) contrary to the Flame Orb. Anyway, when the damage from the Orb gets too high, just switch with U-Turn. If you encounter Rock types, you can use Steel Wing as a last resort. I think Roost is pointless on a sweeper like Swellow since its defences are terrible and it would give a chance for your opponent to easily put you down in 1 hit. answered Nov 2, 2013 by TsubasaRC Swellow Ability:Guts Item:Flame Orb/toxic orb Nature:Jolly 1.Facade (Stab+Burn/toxic) 2.protect:(Prevent getting paralyzed) 3.steel wing(rocks) 4.Brave Bird(massive damage) commented May 2 by Skyupperbot10 Please log in or register to add a comment.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (6/27/13) – A glossy-black Chevrolet Impala will roar through the Kentucky night this weekend with a sobering message."Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" will be emblazoned across driver Mike Wallace's No. 01 car as he competes in the "Feed the Children 300" Friday night at Kentucky Speedway in Gallatin County.
"I'm happy to represent a program that creates public awareness and helps save lives," Wallace said. "I'm looking forward to racing the 'Drive Sober' Impala because we've never promoted anything like this before. It's great to be sharing this important message with the fans at Kentucky because it's such a good area for racing."
The Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) is glad to partner with Wallace and his JD Motorsports Team.
"We're grateful for the assistance that Mike Wallace and JD Motorsports are providing as we promote the 'Drive Sober' message," said KOHS Executive Director Bill Bell. "Alcohol-related fatalities are up in 2013. In fact, 20 percent of the fatal crashes in Kentucky this year have involved alcohol. As summer revs up, we hope Kentuckians remember to avoid driving while impaired."
The "Feed the Children 300" is scheduled to start Friday, June 28, at 7:30 p.m. EDT.

This is our third pair for my growing boy. They are his favorite. He grows out of them so we buy new ones and hand down the old (but still new-looking) sandals to friend's children.
Perfect for summer and creek-play!

Best New Midwest Attractions, Restaurants and Hotels
Chicago: The Boarding House [1]
In her first restaurant, owner and master sommelier Alpana Singh excels in attention to detail. You'll find it in the 35-page wine list, the attentive service and the well-executed entrees, like juicy chicken thighs with eggplant puree. Just don't leave this River North spot without trying the seasonal cheesecake; it's as delicious as it is beautiful. See Midwest Living's review. [2] (312) 280-0720; boardinghousechicago.com [3]
Leawood, Kansas: Rye [6]
If we had to pick one perfect Heartland restaurant, this one might be it: expertly prepared comfort food with names everyone can pronounce, regional craft beers and decor made from repurposed barn elements. Chef Colby Garrelts' 2013 James Beard award proves that capable hands can turn steak and fried chicken into fine dining, and executive pastry chef Megan Garrelts' Mo-Kan Pie showcases nuts from Missouri and Kansas. See Midwest Living's review. [7] (913) 642-5800; ryekc.com [8]
Lincoln, Nebraska: Pinnacle Bank Arena [11]
In a fresh take on the town-and-gown formula—now driven by sports and entertainment—the $179 million arena with seating for 15,000 welcomes Cornhusker basketball games and big-time concerts. Husker basketball began playing there last fall, and the arena already has hosted Bon Jovi, Pink and Elton John. The result? More visitors filling the Haymarket District and the new Canopy Street entertainment district, which has a giant outdoor video screen and several cool restaurants. (402) 904-4444; pinnaclebankarena.com [12]
Milwaukee: The Brewhouse Inn and Suites [15]
Beer-lovers and history buffs, this one's for you. The former brewhouse in the late-19th-century Pabst Brewery Company complex has found new life as a hotel, with 90 guest rooms surrounding six enormous copper brewing vats. "Suite" feels like a stretch, and the "steampunk" decor strikes us as austere. But the rooms are comfortable, you get free Wi-Fi, and the hearty Continental breakfast showcases kringle, a Danish pastry stuffed with fruit. Prost! From $150. See Midwest Living's review. [16] (414) 810-3350; brewhousesuites.com [17]
Chicago: Oiistar [20]
Ramen restaurants have become the rage; this Wicker Park spot artfully weaves Asian, French, Latin and Italian cuisines into affordable bowls. Barbecue beef, rice, spinach, Cotija cheese and a fried egg fuel the outstanding Kimchee Chow. See Midwest Living's review. [21] (773) 360-8791; oiistar.com [22]
East Lansing, Michigan: Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum [25]
Architect Zaha Hadid used ribbons of glass and pleated steel to create a building that's as artful as the collection on the Michigan State University campus. The works on display reflect an appreciation for contemporary tastes—just like the building itself. See Midwest Living's review. [26] (517) 884-4800; broadmuseum.msu.edu [27]
Wichita, Kansas: Ambassador Hotel [30]
The 1926 neoclassic exterior barely hints at the luxury inside. But a major renovation has transformed this 117-guest-room hotel into a modern showplace dressed in soothing purples and grays, leaving visitors glad they chose this former bank building for a quiet night's stay. Soft linens hug the beds, and a frosted-glass pocket door separates bathroom sinks from oversize, beautifully tiled showers. Windows reveal pretty views of downtown and the Intrust Bank Arena. The hotel is a no-brainer for people in town to catch a show. From $119. See Midwest Living's review. [31] (316) 239-7100; ambassadorhotelcollection.com [32]
Indianapolis: 1913 Restaurant [35]
Celebrate the Omni Severin Hotel's centennial at its restaurant showcasing traditional Hoosier dishes sourced from local farms. Yes, you'll get relish and sugar cream pie, but there's also succulent steaks and roasted chicken raised on Indiana land, as well as fish pulled from area waters. Pair that with the hotel's legendary service, and you're in for Indy's best new destination dining. (317) 634-6664; omniseverin.com [36]
Milwaukee: Chudnow Museum of Yesteryear [39]
The modest former law office of collector Avrum Chudnow showcases a well-curated collection of 1920s to '40s Americana. Downstairs, explore the general store's products (and answer the vintage phone). Upstairs, try to find the hidden speakeasy. (414) 273-1680; chudnowmuseum.org [40]
Chicago: The Langham [43]
Impeccable service begins when a Chanel-suited staff member greets you in the Mies van der Rohe skyscraper in River North. Fine art graces the walls, and the 316 guest rooms (complete with marble baths and rain showers) are some of the most spacious in the city. From $395. See Midwest Living's review. [44] (312) 923-9988; chicago.langhamhotels.com [45]
Minneapolis: Smack Shack [48]
A onetime food truck has gone bricks and mortar near Target Field to dish perfect lobster rolls (buttery chunks of lobster on gently griddled milk bread) as well as a handful of meaty entrees. We love the Maine-caught lobsters and the dishes that taste of New England, including the twist on Boston cream pie made with red velvet cake. See Midwest Living's review. [49] (612) 259-7288; smack-shack.com [50]
Rapid City, South Dakota: Museum of the American Bison [53]
The story of their near extinction leaves guests rooting for the shaggy beasts. It's a free and fascinating homage, thanks to artwork, vintage photographs and Native American artifacts. See Midwest Living's review. [54] (605) 791-3266; bisonmuseum.org [55]
Indianapolis: The Alexander [58]
Let's say you're hip. Or want to be. Then it's time to check out this boxy glass boutique hotel with a superfriendly staff and a colorful bar near the mod lobby. The 209 sumptuous rooms and suites—many with featherbeds and granite counters—come with Keurig coffee makers and motion-sensor lighting. See Midwest Living's review. [59] (317) 624-8200; thealexander.com [60]
Duluth, Minnesota: Canal Park Brewing Company [63]
Local pride infuses this lakeside pub. Wisconsin-grown hops and barley flavor the beers, including fruity Neoprenanzug Malfunction German wheat and spicy Stoned Surf India pale ale. The menu features a catch of the day, along with burgers and a pickled herring platter. See Midwest Living's review. [64] (218) 464-4790; canalparkbrewery.com [65]
Cincinnati: Metropole [68]
The artsy 21c Museum Hotel drew on the building's original hotel moniker for the restaurant's name, and the dining room lures foodies eager to see what happens when local farms' bounty meets the custom-built wood-burning hearth. American craft beers on tap and Kentucky bourbon complement roasted chicken served with veggies cooked in pan drippings. It's a meal that feels downright homey in a place where large plastic penguins stand by your table. See Midwest Living's review. [69] (513) 578-6660; metropoleonwalnut.com [70]
South Bend, Indiana: Cafe Navarre Bar and Restaurant [73]
Ready for date night? You'll appreciate the thoughtful touches inside this century-old bank building, where a vast wine list and cocktail menu await. Small plates include oysters in a cucumber-ginger sauce. For dinner, a seafood-stocked Basque stew will have you reaching for the warm bread to soak up each drop. See Midwest Living's review. [74] (574) 968-8101; cafenavarre.co [75]
Minneapolis: The Commons Hotel [78]
Light fixtures look like beakers, staff members wear sweater vests, and black-and-white film footage of Gopher football games plays on a wall. The Commons embraces a brainy image but can't ignore its sports draw with TCF Bank Stadium nearby. Later this year, a light-rail stop out front will zip guests from their relaxing rooms downtown to the airport and to Gopher games with ease. From $129. See Midwest Living's review. [79] (612) 379-8888; commonshotel.com [80]
Cincinnati: Rhinegeist [83]
In a rough-and-tumble area of the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, Rhinegeist pours slightly hoppy beers (like Cougar Blonde Ale and Truth IPA). A half-dozen microbreweries opened in the Queen City this year; this former bottling plant ups the fun with Ping-Pong and cornhole games. See Midwest Living's review. [84] (513) 381-1356; rhinegeist.com [85]
Columbus, Ohio: Hilton Columbus Downtown [88]
Showcasing more than 200 works from central Ohio artists, this state capital hotel offers the cachet of a chic gallery—abstract prints on guest-room ceilings! The 532 guest rooms feel a touch small but nail the important parts with comfy beds. Ask for a room that doesn't face the noisy 12-story atrium, and enjoy the nightlife in the nearby Short North Arts District. From $189. See Midwest Living's review. [89] (614) 384-8600; hiltoncolumbusdowntown.com [90]
Clayton, Missouri: Five Star Burgers [93]
Ten miles west of St. Louis, this ecofriendly spot serves salted caramel milk shakes and locally sourced Angus beef on lightly toasted brioche buns. It's a tantalizing palette for toppings like smoked bacon and port-braised onions. See Midwest Living's review. [94] (314) 720-4350; 5starburgersstl.com [95]
De Pere, Wisconsin: Château De Pere [98]
A 36-suite French country retreat stands 5 miles south of the area's biggest draw—the Green Bay Packers' Lambeau Field. Rich fabrics and king-suite fireplaces in this riverside property exude romance, and the on-site Cafe Chanson plates French delicacies in a casual setting. (920) 347-0007; chateaudepere.com [99]
Hocking Hills, Ohio: Shawnee Storytelling Hikes [102]
You won't find a spa more relaxing than this walk through the woods with Native American storyteller Wehyehpihehrsehnhwah. The white-haired guide (also known as Ron Hatten) relates folklore and wisdom passed down by his Shawnee- speaking grandfather during this Hocking Hills Adventure Trek hike to the rock faces, waterfalls and quiet glens an hour southeast of Columbus. As leaves rustle, Ron explains how the wind created music by whistling through holes in a tree trunk. Then he produces a flute and plays, leaving guests to rethink their hectic lives back home.

Milwaukee: Estabrook Beer Garden [108]
A century ago, biergartens were Milwaukee mainstays; today, few remain. This seasonal spot brings back the old-world tradition: alfresco communal tables, German beer, sausages and pretzels, and live music. Bring a group of friends, or just make a few new ones. See Midwest Living's review. [109] (414) 226-2728; oldgermanbeerhall.com [110]
Kansas City, Missouri: Oak Street Mansion [113]
The owners' art collection became public last fall when this graceful Georgian Revival-style bed-and-breakfast opened near the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. A gallery in the lobby welcomes guests, Joan Miró paintings deck the powder room, and each of the eight luxurious guest rooms has a theme (like Impressionists and KC jazz). Little extras such as chocolate mints from Christopher Elbow make bedtime special. A welcome bonus? You'll find the owners have mastered another art—conversation. From $175.

Bismarck, North Dakota: Laughing Sun Brewery [118]

It's Wednesday night and there is still a lot of activity going on around our home. The TV is working hard playing that familiar tune to 'Good Luck Charlie'. Isabella is reading a story to her daddy, pausing as she tries to read an unfamiliar word 'fascinating'. Outside, the sprinkler hits the window from time to time reminding me of the soothing sound of rain. Sounds so familiar and comforting.
Today Isabella discovered an old video recorder and together with her brothers we watched videos of years past. Images of stumbling little babies, uttering words only a mom can understand.
Big brown eyes looking into the lens of a machine that without their knowledge would capture their tiny images, clumsy baby movements and babbling words turning them into treasures for the future.
It made me once again realize how much I enjoy this job of motherhood. How blessed I have been through this journey and how priviledged my husband and I are, to be allowed to raised these little ones.
As I watched, I noticed my husband and my features still young and child like. Our voices naive and patient. Young parents outnumbered by three little ones, not knowing what to do, yet instinctively doing it as well as we could.

Allergic rhinitis is the set of symptoms that occurs when you breathe in substances you are allergic to. These substances are called allergens and are small proteins.
- Seasonal (intermittent) allergic rhinitis (sometimes called hay fever or rose fever)—This occurs during times of the year when allergens are in the air, like spring, summer, and fall. The most common allergens are tree, grass, or weed pollens.
- Perennial (persistent) allergic rhinitis—This condition is caused by allergens that may be present year round. These may include chemicals, dust, dust mites, cockroaches, animal dander, or mold spores. Symptoms may be present any time of year.
An allergic reaction occurs when your body's immune system overreacts to an allergen. When you breathe in an allergen, cells in your nasal passages release a chemical called histamine. Histamine causes your nose to feel itchy. Histamine also causes swelling and mucus production in the nasal passages.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of developing allergic rhinitis include:
- Family members with allergic rhinitis, eczema , or asthma
- Eczema
- Asthma
- Food allergies
Allergic rhinitis can cause the following symptoms:
Your doctor will try to find out which allergens you are allergic to. You may be referred to an allergist or immunologist. This is a doctor who specializes in allergies.
Tests may include:
Skin Prick Test
A tiny bit of an allergen is placed under the skin with a needle. The doctor watches to see if the skin in that area becomes red, raised, and itchy. This can be done for multiple allergens at the same time.
RAST Testing
A small sample of blood is taken and tested for different allergens.
Provocation Testing
You breathe in air containing an allergen. The doctor will watch to see if you have an allergic reaction, such as wheezing or trouble breathing. This test is usually reserved for research settings.
The most effective way to treat allergies is to avoid the allergen. Since this can sometimes be difficult or impossible, other treatments are available.
Treatments may include:
Your doctor may advise:
- Nasal sprays
- Note: Using a nasal spray may lead to rebound congestion.
- Antihistamines to block the action of histamine
- Decongestants to decrease congestion
With immunotherapy, small amounts of allergens are injected over weeks, months, or even years. The goal is to make your body's immune system less sensitive to those allergens. This treatment may be effective in reducing or eliminating the symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
Sublingual immunotherapy may also be used. This type of treatment involves putting the allergic substances under the tongue, rather than using allergy shots.
The following strategies may help prevent allergic rhinitis :
- Stay inside during the morning hours when pollen counts are highest.
- Avoid outside activities during the time of year when the trees, grasses, weeds, or molds are blooming.
- Keep the windows of your house and car closed to keep pollen out.
- Use an air conditioner to reduce indoor humidity and to prevent mold and mildew growth.
- Clean your air conditioner's filters regularly.
- Consider running an air purifier in your home, especially in your bedroom.
- Use vacuum cleaners and air conditioners with HEPA filters to trap allergens.
- Decrease or avoid outdoor activities on hot summer days, when ozone levels may make your symptoms worse.
- Wash bedding weekly in very hot water.
- Use fewer dust-collecting items, such as curtains, bed skirts, carpeting, and stuffed animals, especially in your bedroom.
- If you can't avoid having a pet with fur, vacuum frequently and keep your pet out of bedrooms and other rooms with carpets.
