Prevention of Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
The best prevention is to avoid exposure to the antigen, but avoiding exposure may be impractical (for example, if the person cannot change jobs). Eliminating or reducing dust, wearing protective masks, and using good ventilation systems may help prevent both sensitization and recurrence. However, even the best prevention methods may not be effective.
