share: I have developed allergies in the past 10 years. I have asthma.
Following the birth of my son 10 years ago I developed asthma and related allergies that I had never experienced before, apart from citrus and hayfever allergies.
I am prone to ear, nose and throat infections anyway, but not as much now. I find other people infuriating when they are careless with their own germs and infections in general.

Dear Cruncher
I'm sorry to read you've been dealing with asthma and allergies.
However, I'm glad you have found a system that keeps things under contolled.
We at Empowher couldn't agree with you more about those "brave souls" who come into work (or school or anywhere!) sick, only to infect everyone else - especially those with already compromised immune systems.
I hope you stay healthy this winter and let us know if there is any way we can help you. We appreciate you sharing your story with us and feel free to share more - I'm sure there's a lot we can learn from someone who has found solid ways of dealing with both asthma and allergies.
Do you know if the birth of your son was directly correlated to your conditions?

I cant say for definate only that my immune system changed.
November 29, 2011 - 11:23amThere are several approaches for controlling asthma and allergy symptoms. As advocated by the Environmental Protection Agency - improve your IAQ through source control - ventilation - and air cleaning..
Since 1989, UltimateAir® has concentrated on ‘improving health by improving the air we breathe.’ The focus – develop a system combining ventilation with air cleaning (filtration).
November 28, 2011 - 5:31pmThat drive has produced the industry leading RecoupAerator®, a whole-house ventilation system that improves IAQ; removing allergy and asthma triggers, and other contaminants from inside the home – and utilizing a MERV 12 rated filter that captures outside air pollens and mold spores, ensuring only fresh air is released into the home.
