eyelash growth

There are books which I like to borrow from the library but many of them old – i can open up the books and very soon it gives me the sneeze and later on watery/itchy eyes. I understand that the best control over allergy is to avoid the causes. I wouldn't want to avoid these good books and to take anithistamine over the long run. What should I do?

Wear a mask to protect yourself from the dusty books while you enjoy them.

I am allergic to old books which give me sneezes and watery eyes.?
