Life With Frenchie

*sniffle*

*cough*

*sneeze*

 Don’t mind me, that’s just the sounds of our whole house dealing with allergies this year! Poor MM has it the absolute worst!! She’s suffered from seasonal allergies since she was an infant and has been taking prescription allergy medicine (thank you for Zyrtec going OTC!!) just as long. Some years are worse than others. I remember one morning, when she was a toddler, and she woke up looking like she’d gone a few rounds with Muhammed Ali! Talk about freaking out!!! I rushed her to an urgent care facility and was so relieved to find out it was just allergies.

Lately, the allergies seem to be extending through the family, and I’m sure having 2 cats and a dog who have a strong dislike for keeping their fur to themselves doesn’t help any. When the time of year comes around when most people are starting to open up windows and air out their houses from the stuffy winter, we have to firmly shut our windows to keep out all of the allergens. But, that only does so much since we’re locked in with the pets.

Weekly, and many times daily, vacuuming shows just how much stuff we’re breathing in that’s probably not helping at all. During one of my daily kavetches about all this, someone told me about the AccuClean Whole Home Air Filtration System. This looks like something that we could definitely benefit from! This isn’t just some special air filter you pick up at the store and have to replace all the time. Instead, this is a whole system that filters the air in your home, removing all those pesky allergens like pet dander, pollen, and mold! EP and I have checked it out and it’s definitely something we want to look into further. With MM being borderline asthmatic and haivng a perpetually stuffy nose about 6 months out of the year, I’m willing to give anything a try. If all else fails, we can always resort to a plastic bubble!

Stumble it!
