8 Risks and Behaviors
  
Seasonal Allergies
wheelbarrow-garden-woman.jpg Symptoms include sneezing, stuffiness, a runny nose, and itchiness in your nose, the roof of your mouth, throat, eyes, or ears. Bad cases of hay fever can also lead to sinus infections, disrupt your sleep, and affect your ability to learn at school or be productive at work.
  
To limit exposure to allergens:
- Keep track of pollen and mold levels
- Keep windows closed in your house and car
- Don't mow lawns, or rake leaves
- Avoid hanging sheets or clothes outdoors to dry
- Take a shower after coming indoors
  
Test your knowledge about seasonal allergies and how to manage them. Learn more about symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment and management.

Understanding that your risks and behaviors have a direct influence on the severity and frequency of chronic conditions is the first step.  Increased claims have a direct impact on increased premiums (for employers AND employees).    Take time today to review any risks and behaviors that YOU have that may be contributing to a chronic condition and take advantage of the resources from your insurance carrier that help to manage that condition.
