If you or your child have allergies or asthma, you already know that many things can bring on, or “trigger,” an asthma flare or episode. Some things that trigger asthma attacks are called allergens. Some people get symptoms from only one allergen — like dust mites. For other people, more than one kind of allergen can trigger an episode.

The most common allergens are:

animal dander  cockroaches    dustmites    mold/mildew     pollen

Cleaning can help control these allergens.
It’s one of the easiest steps you can take to help reduce allergy or asthma flares (episodes).
