DH suffers from extremely bad allergic rhinitis - has had several operations and is on drugs every day.
He went to the NHS allergy clinic which was very helpful - but he was allergic to EVERY allergen they tested him with, INCLUDING THE PEN that they wrote on his arm with, which was supposed to be hypoallergenic...
ANYWAY we have removed all carpets from downstairs - which has had feck-all effect so far - and we are going to try and make some improvements to upstairs.
We've tried the dust-mite proof bed protectors but DH reacted badly to these - awful night sweats.
At the mo we have carpets and open shelves/wardrobes and will try and eliminate these.
- I'm not sure what to do in the children's room because it is full of shelves and stuffed toys. Am I going to have to buy a zillion cupboards?
- Should I buy an air purifier or is there no point while I still have carpets and open shelving?
- Does anyone have any tips about how I should go about improving my home environment for DH?
