Precautions to take during such weather:

Stay Indoors – during dusty weather, stay indoors as much as possible and keep windows and doors closed. Reduce your exposure to common allergens, that can trigger asthma attacks.

Monitor weather and pollution forecasts – asthmatics should monitor daily weather and air quality reports, especially during the such season.

Clean air conditioner vents – living in a hot climate country means we spend more time indoors and rely on air conditioning. If air conditioning vents are not cleaned and checked on a regular basis, dust accumulation can be a dangerous trigger. To avoid dust accumulation in ducts and vents, air conditioning units must be regularly maintained and cleaned every six months.

Use an air purifier – allergy and asthma sufferers are particularly affected by such weather conditions. An air purifier can help you breathe easier by reducing indoor pollution. Although air purifiers are not a cure for asthma, they do assist in removing allergens and particles that can cause symptoms by directing air through a filter.

Consider wearing a face mask if you are outside – during dusty weather, consider wearing a medical face mask or using a wet towel to avoid inhaling dust particles. Remember to replace your face masks on a regular basis.

Stay hydrated - fluids, particularly water, are essential during sandstorms. If you come into contact with dust, remember to stay hydrated and even spray water on your face and eyes.
