Allergic to your computer?
Did you know that computers kick out dust and grime? That means, especially if you’re in an enclosed area (like a closet) that your computer can be making you sick.
If you find yourself getting tired, cranky, dizzy, or wheezy after sitting at your computer for a few hours, it’s likely not your imagination. So, what can you do about it?
First, send your computer in for a cleaning–computers are really sensitive to dust, so this is good for your computer’s health as well as your own. You won’t want to undertake this on your own because then you’d really breathe all that dust in, and computer repair shops often will clean your computer inside and out (cleaning the dust *and* cleaning the viruses, adware, and other accumulating garbage from your hard drive) for a really reasonable fee.
Next, don’t sit in an enclosed space–you (and your computer) need space to breathe. Make sure air can circulate properly into the space where you use your computer.
Make sure you take regular breaks–this can go a long way towards helping you feel better, especially when you have allergic asthma. It’ll also keep your energy up and can help you prevent your body from developing repetitive injuries.
Finally, you might want to pick up a beeswax candle or two or an air purifier. Beeswax candles are thought to clean the air very effectively, and they cast a pretty glow; though <a href=”http://allergic-asthma-care.com/allergy-asthma-relief/71/allergy-air-filters/”>allergy air filters</a> may be more convenient depending on your space.
