In the summer, I was so itchy from dust sensitivities that it drove myself and others completely crazy.
- I guess that this was certainly the worst season for dust sensitivities that I have ever had ever since the two of us moved here.
I have been living here for about 19 years now, and I cannot remember ever feeling the way that I did the summer before. A lot of peculiar people told me that they had poor dust sensitivities this year, too. I believe it was just something in the weather and in the plant life around here this year that made it so bad. Maybe the pollen was worse than normal or something. Anyway, the pollen was so poor that it ended up infiltrating the beach house and that made the indoor air conditions in the beach house poor too! At one point, I was taking so much dust sensitivity medication that I could barely function each day. Anyway, it finally got so bad that I went to the doctor in our town. When I made the appointment with the dust sensitivity doc, I was assuming that she was just gonna give me some medication, however when I got there she told me something different. She said that she would recommend that we call up the local heating and A/C company and have our ventilation system cleaned out. I must have looked very surprised whenever she told me that because she laughed and said that that was the prescription that she was giving to all of her patients this year. She said that with all of the pollen this year, the best thing to do would be to get the ductwork cleaned out and install a whole-home air purifier system in our place.
