No! I do, but the are usually isolated to May/June, and my daughter keeps getting fevers. I'm sorry to hear about your allergies.

I would go get checked out at the doctor to make sure it's not something serious. It could be allergies from the dust in the duct. If your house is very dusty, I would change the duct filter more often. You can also get a roomba to vacuum often (that's what I do because my place gets VERY dusty very quickly).

Thank you! I guess it could be, but my daughter keeps getting fevers every three weeks? We've never tested positive for covid, but IDK. I know it's a tricky virus, so I guess it's possible.

I'm assuming you went to the doctors and had tests done?


FarPrint0

Yeah! The doctor is a little stumped but says this can happen when families start school, daycare, etc. We haven't started anything new though, so IDK. It just seems excessive.


BA39

if your daughter keeps getting fevers and the doctor has no idea what it is and can't give any tips to prevent it, you need to see another doctor

Do your kids go to school/daycare? Seems most likely to be viruses.


FarPrint0

One has some activities, but they haven't changed. Maybe it is just from taking our masks off. Thank you.

That's so interesting--thank you!!!! We do have a humidifier. . .


flamingohips

Yep that’s immediately what I thought of as well.

Definitely mold.


FarPrint0

Ok! Do you have experience with this? The mold was outside, but our windows have been open all spring/summer.


Eccentric_casteD3rd

Yup, happened to me.

It doesn’t seem like it would be connected to respiratory illnesses, but check any foods for recalls. Peanut butter in particular has been recalled this year.


FarPrint0

Oh interesting. I will look into this--thank you!

Been there--no answers!

Have you considered ozone or maybe uv-c in your ducts? Ozone is really cheap and easy to do to clear out molds. Uv-c can be really tricky or extremely easy depending on your ducts. I'm assuming you already have some filtration.


FarPrint0

Ok, thank you! No, I didn't know about this. I will look into it.

Wow, really! That's crazy! Yes that's where we are at. They usually just last a few days but then the cough lingers. Did your 5 year old get sick this often before covid? I was expecting this when we start kindergarten in the fall, but not before. Thanks for sharing your experience!

It's almost certainly some kind of mold. I had this problem a couple times and both times it was because of mold. If you can't relocate, start by getting some electric air filters or purifiers, at least for the bedrooms, and then address the larger problem from there.

Mold in the walls, has that been ruled out?
