Q: Could This Apartment Be the Problem.

Hello,

i am athmatic, and have been all my life, I have a couple of allergies, and that's it...So not to bad, however since moving to this apparment, i've been ill with sinus infections, bronchitis and just now pnomia!!!

I wouldn't make a really big deal about it, except both my toddlers, and my husband whom never gets sick are having the same troubles.

My question...Is there some way it could be the place we are living in?

The last place was horrid and had moldy old boards for the floor, and cocroches...That the landlords didn't want to deal with....Ikkkk...And my asthma and the infections weren't as often, and my husbant and children were not sick all the time either.

Just wondering if anyone has ever had this problem before....Am thinking of calling the health board in the area and have them check it out.

Peace
shannix

Mold is more common in newer residential construction because the foundations are concrete and do not provide sufficient air flow. Pick up an at-home mold kit from your local hardware store and send it out to the lab (listed in the instructions) to have it tested if you have concerns.

Allergies are considered an autoimmune disorder, since they are caused by an over-reaction of the immune system whereby the body produces too many antibodies to neutralize an antigen.

Strengthening your immune system is a must and can be done naturally…drop me an e-mail and I will send you some information.

Yours in health,
