You should also have an emergency inhaler. Pay attention to the news as sometimes the news will tell you if there is pollen that is really high. This is very important.

Another thing is to watch out for the darn ozone layer. The news should also tell you when there is an ozone warning. This means that you should stay inside as it’s really hot.
