Shopping in Houston

[phoenix]

Hi ddt972,

After talking to a doctor friend and she suggested I ween myself off of flonase (for allergies). She also suggested I get a new pillow and cover it to prevent dust mites. I just developed allergies in my forties, another doctor said it was due to the pollution in Houston. Anyhow using protective covers to prevent dust mites on pillow and mattress is new to me, so any advise in that area is appreciated as well.

There is more about dust mites and allergies in post #2 here that should be helpful but your doctor’s suggestion is a good one as part of a larger “multi-pronged” strategy to reduce allergens in your home or sleeping environment.

You’ve probably seen this already but just in case you haven’t … the better options and possibilities I’m aware of in the Houston area (subject to the guidelines here) are listed in post #2 here.

I’m looking forward to finding out what you end up deciding and of course any comments or questions you may have along the way.
