CAUSES

Dust Mites One of the prominent factors due to which many people suffer from Pine tree allergy (Christmas tree is basically a Pine tree) is this one: ​dust mites​. Make sure you clean the tree regularly to avoid the dust mites. Mold Spores Molds are invisible to the naked eye and they are present where there is moisture. So, when trees build up moisture on their leaves and branches, the presence of mold spores is built up there. They are also present in the open spaces so one gets allergy from there too. Insect Droppings


Pests and insects are quite common in trees. They inhabit the pine trees and leave droppings which leads to allergies. Terpenes Terpenes are chemical compounds. They give the natural scent to Pine trees. Some people have an allergy to terpene and it causes irritation so it is one of the reasons behind the allergy.

SYMPTOMS

Symptoms are quite important to know as they make us understand that we have undergone some disease and we have to take some actions to get rid of them. In the case of Pine tree allergies, the following are the symptoms. One must know them in order to treat the allergy as soon as possible so that he/she can enjoy the festival at its best. ● ● ● ●

Water coming off eyes and nose Coughing Sneezing Dark circles under the eyes

These allergic reactions are quite unpleasant and irritating so one should consult the doctor immediately to get rid of them.

CURE

After checking out the causes and symptoms, let us now check what prevention/cure methods are there for solving our problem. First of all, people who are suffering from such kinds of irritation and allergies should avoid using a natural tree and must opt for an artificial tree. If any person in your house has an allergy to terpenes or mold then it is a good decision to buy


an artificial tree as no such worry is there with it. An artificial tree will be an allergy-friendly Christmas tree so you won’t have any issue with that. If you want to buy a real tree instead of an artificial one then make sure you clean it outside, shake it twice or thrice so that dust, pollen, and pest droppings fall outside. Some other careful measures that you can take to avoid irritation from these allergies are shown below. Remove pollen using a blower You can use a leaf blower to remove the pollen particles from your tree. Wear a mask at that time to protect yourself. Remove Mold For removing mold, you have to make sure that the tree is completely dry. If there is moisture present in any part of the tree then there are chances of mold so better keep it dry. Every day, you should shake it once with the help of any other person as it might be heavy and then keep it under the ​sunlight​ so that it dries completely. Terpenes You can lessen the scent of ​terpene​ from your tree by spraying a solution of water and bleach. Spray it on the branches and the problem will get solved.
