I also have heard that this is just a scam and that replacing a "GOOD" A/C FILTER would help, which it has not.

Trying to find if anyone else has maybe had this problem as I have even thought about having "UV" light installed in AC but this too seems to be a "scam" and I am running out of options.

The only other option I can think of is replacing my ((clean)) "Berber Carpet) (thru out house) with woods floors as I have bought new vacuum cleaner and had carpets steam cleaned, again with no help but hate to spend all that money on new floors and still not help.

ANY suggestions would be appreciated..... running out of air



I was reacting very strongly to the new allergens here in Florida, so much that we were worried we made the right choice to move here. We bought an air filter for bedroom at Walmart (around $100) and clean the washable filters frequently. We keep the bedroom door closed and change the bedding frequently and I try to remember to remove clothes full of pollen after being outdoors for a long time and shower to remove pollen from hair.Those things do seem to help.

I would also seek an allergist to have allergy medication and inhalers.


I think, but don't know, that our bodies DO adjust gradually to new pollen irritants, but you can't fool with asthma. I only have clogged head, sneezing and itchy eyes and runny nose. So please see an allergy specialist and follow what he/she says. Hope you feel better. Right now, whatever pollen that irritates me is in full power.
