    Carpets or treatment suitable for those with allergies

    I am a fan of carpets but I deal with mild allergy issues. I am wondering whether there are any carpet types/materials or/and special treatment products out there that can reduce the risk of the surface affecting my allergies? I am hoping there is something I can do to make it manageable to live with carpets such that it is not a significant inconvenience. On the other hand, is it realistically not possible? Will I need to consider settling for another flooring type? I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Thank you.
