Allergy Supply Products
Many environmental allergy products are commercially available. But which ones actually work?  The measure of effectiveness is that which improves symptoms in patients and there are actually few products that have proven effectiveness.  We strongly recommend bedding encasings for those with dust mite sensitivity.  Air filters may be helpful for cat allergy and perhaps for sinus and asthma patients living in dusty environments.
