their first year in college. Student and parent are excited and scared at the
same time because this is such a big event in their lives.

I know, 3 years ago our daughter left home for the first time to attend school and
what  an adventure it has been. She graduated from UCF in May and now its time
for another new  adventure..

For parents with children who suffer from allergies and/or asthma it can be
particularly trying time. For years we have worked hard to keep them away from
the things that make them sick or uncomfortable such as: dust, pollen, mold,
dust mites, animal dander, etc. Now they are headed off to live in a place we
have very little if any control over. The good news is there are some simple
things you can do that will help reduce the allergens their new homes.

While our daughter had a few problems  with her allergies, she pretty much managed
to stay healthy throughout the years. 

Your children are starting out on a new adventure, one that they will remember and
benefit from for the rest of their lives. If they suffer from allergies or asthma you can
do a few simple things now that will help them all year long.
