ewww.About two years ago i discovered i have an allergy to dust. It took me forever to figure out what caused my allergies but sure enough! Whenever i vacuumed or dusted, even when i snapped dry clothes before folding them (and definitely when i empty the dryer lint catch) i was affronted by a fit of sneezing, itchy nose, runny eyes... not such greatness. At one point i discovered that i got especially allergic when i went to bed. Eventually i discovered that it was my PILLOW that caused such misery. When i got a hypoallergenic pillow for Christmas the following year, it was the most magical discovery ever!
But what can i do now? I live with a fireplace and dust is quite a common occurrence in our home. If i kept up with it meticulously i'd be dusting all day every day.
Another thing we seem to have a problem with is mold. Not the kind that grows on our food, but the kind that is a lovely shade of black and likes to grow anywhere with the most remote amount of dampness. Yikes!!!
All i can hope for is a de-humidifier to fall out of the local tree and land in my bedroom!
