I’m allergic to our house!Posted by Rachel on April 2nd, 2008
Argh! This is frustrating. I’ve had a stuffy/runny nose for months now, along with watery eyes and an itchy throat. I kept debating whether it was a cold or allergies (it felt more like allergies, but I’d never had allergy problems before). Well, the entire time we were in Spokane, I felt WONDERFUL. No congestion, no sneezing, no watery eyes, nothing. It was the first time since Antonio was born that I was really feeling 100% healthy.
Well, now we’re back and I’m feeling HORRIBLE again. 
I could hardly sleep last night, it was bugging me so much. I’m guessing it’s a mold problem or something, but it’s almost definitely connected to our house.
Good thing we’re packing up and moving out in a month.

I too need to move! We’ve got a rent house near ULM and I think I’m thinking it’s my carpet that’s killing me. I steam clean at least 2X a month and no help. Also have a Dyson, no help. It’s not the dogs, or iguana, or husband. just a cursed house. If it weren’t for the yard, I wouldn’t love it so much.

Yay for moving closer to me. I can come and worship your children more frequently.

the pollen has been horrid lately. that might account for some of it.
you absolutely can’t leave again without seeing us first. it’s been way too long!

Oh, we don’t plan on leaving without a visit or two with y’all!
I don’t think it’s the pollen, unless we’ve been having non-stop pollen issues since November.
That’s when the allergies started.

Packing? Going where?

Just out of this house for now. Probably put our stuff in storage for the summer while we’re in Spokane.

You may be allergic to dust mites.Try getting your mattresses cleaned by a professional. Millions of dust mites live in your mattress. I recently found that I was allergic to these little creatures.They feast on our dead skin cells and during this process they leave behind feces. These feces cause allergic reactions such as runny nose, itchy watery eyes and sneezing. The first night I had my mattress cleaned, I felt relief.
