Bird Allergies - Relief With HEPA Filtration

One of the biggest triggers for allergies is dust and dander from pet birds. One of the easiest and most effective ways to get relief is to use HEPA filtration to remove the allergens. Here is a discussion about how and why it works.

This overreaction causes a variety of symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, watering eyes, congestion and more. All of these are ways that the body tries to flush out and/or eject the offending substance.

Bird dust and dander contain a protein that is a highly potent allergy. And since dust and dander are a fact of life if you live with a bird, the solution needs to be a continuous one.

Yes, it's true that you can take a pill to reduce symptoms, but medications often trigger other symptoms. But wouldn't it be lovely to reduce the symptoms and the need for medication?

Experts all have differing opinions about how to treat allergies, but one of the few things they agree about is that the most effective and non-invasive way to get relief is to avoid the trigger.

Continually filtering the air of dust, dander, feathers and other bird-related triggers can drastically reduce your exposure to these irritants, and will help you get more enjoyment out of your bird and your life.

HEPA filtration is the same technology that hospitals use to insure clean air. This type of filter can trap and remove particles as small as .3 microns in size. HEPA filtration can easily eliminate visible particulates such as dust and feathers as well as the invisible ones like bird dander.

Typically those with allergies are allergic to a variety of irritants many of which are always present indoors. These triggers often work in concert with the bird-related irritants and create chaos for your body.

Airborne irritants are present in every indoor space regardless of how clean it is kept. These chronic irritants include household dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, and dander from other pets, seasonal pollens, bacteria and viruses.

Reducing the dander starves the dust mites which reduces their numbers. And that's a good thing.. Pet dander is so sticky stuff so it can and does adhere to all sorts of airborne particles making it available to be constantly inhaled by all who live there.

Now let's consider how much your bird's quality of life will be improved by breathing air that is fresh, and clean.. Birds that are constantly forced to breathe air that is filled with particles will result in clogged airways. Restricted air passages are often the start of disease and infection that are nearly impossible to reverse. Clearing the air can add longevity and quality of life for your bird as well as its owner.
