Are No-Spray Christmas Trees Better for You? What to Know

No, no-spray Christmas trees are not necessarily better for you. Artificial trees and naturally grown trees (trees not sprayed with pesticides of any kind) are safer options.

In general, artificial trees are the best options if you have allergies or compromised respiratory health. While these trees may be made out of plastic, they are less likely to trigger allergies than natural trees. Naturally grown trees that have not been treated with pesticides are the next best option. Finally, if you choose a fresh-cut tree, make sure to clean it thoroughly before bringing the tree inside your home. This will remove any dust, pollen, or allergens.
