ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL (January 21, 2020) – Valentine’s Day tends to bring out the urge to “spend big” on gifts that will sweep your loved one off their feet. But some gifts can cause allergy and asthma symptoms and should be avoided no matter how much you think they might convey your devotion.
“If you want to impress your beloved this year, take a pass on gifts that cause sneezing and wheezing,” says allergist J. Allen Meadows, MD, president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI). “Once you have an understanding of your valentine’s allergy and asthma triggers, you can search for gifts that express your love while keeping them healthy. That will make everyone’s heart go pit-a-pat.”
Following are five things the ACAAI recommends you avoid this Valentine’s Day.
