What am I allergic to in my own home?

I consider myself to be an intelligent individual, however, I have no idea what is causing my allergies to act up mainly when I am at home. I live in an apartment in an urban environment. I clean. I dust almost everyday or so it seems...yet my allergies acts up the majority of the time only when I am at home.



During the months of August-April, I am gone 14-16 hrs of the day so I am not at home that much and my allergies do not effect me that much...but when I am home from April-July, when I am home everyday, they wreak havoc on me. I also realize that is springtime...hence more pollen.



I have tried various types of air filters..with no luck. Needless to say, my medicine cabinet has much benadryl.



What am I missing that could cause my allergies to flare up when I am at home? Is there a specific type of air filter I should buy? What are some suggestions?

My sister in law had the same problem except she had headaches. they removed all the carpet in their home an put down hardwood flooring. Her headaches immediately stopped. The carpet eventhough it was clean trapps lots of dirt an allergens under it and in it. If you dont want to remove your carpet try having it professionally cleaned
Reply:I had never lived in a house that had carpet in the bedrooms (always had hardwood or tile) until about 9 years ago. I've always had allergies, but they were easily dealt with until I started sleeping in the carpeted room. We have started replacing the carpet with laminate, one room at a time, and I can already tell a difference. I've talked to a lot of people that have had the same sort of experiences, so it might be something for you to consider.
Reply:Oh boy, Benadryl, how can you stay awake. Have your tried Claritan-D. Could be the fibers in your furniture or carpets or curtains. Do you have any damp places where mold could be growing. Have you thought about getting a new mattress. Have you assessed what's different from your apartment and elsewhere. I don't have an air purifier recommendation.
Reply:It could be mold under your flooring. How old is the lonolium/carpet in your apartment?
Reply:the mold under your flooring, take claritan-b for your allergic reactions to go away.
Reply:Do you have any pets?
