It turns out I'm super allergic to dust mites. So how do you deal with it?
- keep the humidity below 50%
- Wash bedding frequently
- Keeping the house dusted and clean
- Vacuuming often.
I've been keeping up with the first two. The other two are a bit of a challenge!
I've been waking up every morning with swollen itchy eyes and a drippy, itchy nose. Hell, the inside of my face itches!
Every. Morning.
Seriously. This should be against the Geneva Convention.
I could take Benadryl before bed every night. That's good and all, but I'm a hung over zombie for half the next day.
Yesterday afternoon, I decided to do something about it!
I was going to wage a battle against dust!!
And because I'm not supposed to be vacuuming, I had the Spousal Equivalent help!
I cleared the bedroom floor. He vacuumed, while I cleaned off the coffee tabled and dusted the electronics. I then put laundry away and washed all the blankets and throws.
We're not done, but it's a start. He still has laundry to put away. The knick knacks need to be dusted, and I need to get a broom out to dispatch any dust bunnies... but it's getting better.
I even woke up this morning and my eyes weren't burning.
Now if I could just find a new massage therapist to help me with my messed up neck! Mine seems to have disappeared!
