With the recent warmer weather, you may have noticed an increased problem with your allergies. It’s true that in the spring, allergy sufferers have a hard time making it through the work-day as they deal with a variety of symptoms such as itchy, watery eyes, and sniffles. Your head may feel clogged up and you’ve noticed it’s hard to think, not to mention the drowsiness from taking medication to deal with your allergies.Then it should be no surprise that employees with allergies potentially cost companies more than $250 million dollars annually in missed workdays and lost productivity. So what can you do about it? Talk to your doctor, there are several alternatives to the drowsy allergy drugs.
