I have exhausting pollen irritations that make themselves known every Spring and every fall, without fail.
I can’t remember a Springtime or a fall season when I wasn’t being plagued by a exhausting flu symptom attack, no matter how many medications I was on! It got to the point where I even was having flu symptom attacks inside my own lake loft with the air conditioner running. I mean, I could understand having pollen in the loft if I had the windows open, but this was with all the windows closed and the turned on. I called my local Heating and Air Conditioning business to ask if they knew anything that I could do to help eliminate the pollen, dust, and allergens from my ventilation system. The first thing they recommended that I do was to get all of my ventilation ducts and air vents thoroughly cleaned. I know as time goes by, dust and pollen can accumulate in your HVAC ducts and the dust and debris can then fly into your living space when your forced air from your heating and cooling system blows through them. I stressed an appointment to have our ventilation ducts cleaned instantly. And then the two of us opted to go ahead and signed up to have them cleaned on a bi-weekly basis. I just wanted to make sure that the dust and pollen wouldn’t have a chance to build up in the ventilation ducts again. The other thing I did was to order some really high quality air filters for our central air conditioner unit… Changing the air filters and cleaning the ventilation ducts has really improved our indoor air pollen levels.
