It's that time of year again! The 2018-19 school year is upon us, which always marks a significant uptick in allergies. Maybe it's the exposure to all sorts of new allergens in classrooms, or maybe it's the pollen circulating the campus air, but the back to school season is always a difficult one for those suffering from allergies! As a student-run business, we know for a fact that schools are unique environments with a plethora of potential allergen triggers.
As detailed in this report by the College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, the consistency of living at home is often shattered when students ease back into the school year. This is an especially dangerous issue for young students who are unaware that they have allergies; it's very important that children get tested for allergies before starting school (to ensure that they never have to discover their allergies the hard way!)
We highly recommend that parents remain mindful of this issue as they venture into the new school year, and that students with severe allergies make sure that their school's health office knows about them. We also ask you to consider using our probiotic formula as a way of protecting you or your children from the unseen threats in the air around you! Have a wonderful year, and best of luck to all of you!
