Don't sneeze and drive!!!

Who are allergy-prone?? please take note.

Allergyreaction are caused when the immune system responds to allergents such as dust mites,pollen or pet hair and dander, by releasing histamine,causing symptoms such as wheezing and sneezing.The most common allergen causing allergic are dust mites.

It scary but true that if you sneeze while driving at 110 km/h on the road,you can travel up to 90 metres with your eyes closed, according to Automobile Association, so always have tissues handy and slow down and drop back if you feel and a sneeze coming on.

Yoy can buy a car air purifier which may help remove pollen,dust, and diesel exhaust. Some car purifiers plug into the cigarette lighter easily.
