Allergy - Health tips
Centrum tip - Allergic to Christmas?
Last updated: Friday, May 26, 2006
'Tis the season to eat, drink and be merry, but make sure you don't sniffle and sneeze your way through the holidays. Seasonal triggers, including that beautiful three-metre-high Christmas tree, can bring on allergies or allergy-like symptoms.

Take action: Have as much ventilation as possible in the rooms where you keep the tree, candles, incense or potpourri; if you put your tree in a container of water, change the water frequently; watch out for foods that may have "hidden" ingredients - wheat, eggs, milk, soy, fish or shellfish, legumes and nuts from trees, could pose a danger to guests who have allergies.
