FRIDAY HEALTH REPORT: Indoor allergens like dust mites and mold can trigger symptoms year-roundBATON ROUGE — Staying indoors to avoid summer allergies may not provide the relief people are looking for. Common indoor allergens include dust mites, mold, pets, cockroaches and sometimes mice. Signs of indoor allergies include constant sneezing, a stuffy nose, itchy eyes and itchy ears. Dust mites cannot be eliminated completely, but regularly washing bedsheets and putting a protective cover on a mattress can reduce their numbers. If symptoms persist, over-the-counter allergy medications such as a nasal steroid or antihistamine are an option.
