I thought it was strange to develop allergies so suddenly

I thought it was very strange when I started developing what seemed like allergies.

I never had allergies before but I started having itchy eyes and breathing troubles.

The crazy thing about these sudden allergies or whatever they were was that it seemed to be only getting worse. The only times when I felt better was when I would go outside for some fresh air. I came to realize that the air quality outside was so much better than in my home. Something else dawned on me too, and that was the fact that if I was experiencing allergies, they would probably be even worse outside, not indoors. This made me realize that it wasn’t an allergy issue at all, but something else that turned out to be really bad for my health. I had an HVAC professional come out to look at my HVAC system and there were many things wrong. First of all, I was using cheap air filters that were not helping the HVAC system very well. There was hardly any filtration and my ductwork system was overrun by mold growth. On top of all the mold that was growing, the ductwork system was entirely clogged with dust and debris. I was regularly breathing in all these contaminants into my lungs and it was causing my breathing troubles. I had the ductwork cleaned and sanitized by the HVAC professionals. I also had a UV air purification system installed. I was told the UV light would work to kill any mold spores that got into the ductwork and I wouldn’t have to worry about mold growth any longer, so long as I kept up with the ductwork cleaning. I can’t believe how much better I feel now.
