The FDA says our indoor air is 5 times as polluted as outdoor air. Do you think that contributes to your allergies or breathing problems?

Yes I do. My son has severe asthma which is allergy induced. He as in the hospita 8 days with a partially collasped lung from the pneumonia that his asthama caused him to have. Like I said his is allergy induced and his is on 5 different meds for it ( he is only six so 2 of those are for the nebulizer) His main allergy is dust mites. I stongley agree that the insdies air is worse. It almost seems like without and air puifier that my sone gets worse being inside than outside..

Yes I have both and yes it is possible that the air inside a house can be more polluted then the outside air...
I tend to dust a lot and once a year I get the vents cleaned.... I also run an IONIC Breeze and all the above tends to help....
For some who are really sensitive, there are many other options that can be done to make your house friendly and these can cost...

I feel your pain. I've had asthma for 14 years now and have seen several doctors. The truth is, there is no known cure for asthma at the moment. But the symptoms can be prevented. It really depends on what causes your brother's asthma. Mine is usually dust and hot weather. But I think the universal method is using the control inhaler.
I cured my Asthma the natural way?

I have both and strongly agree. You should open your windows a lot to get rid of the stagnant air, and also use the air purifiers, worth their weight in gold..A/C help a lot for me as well in the summer, keeping your fans clean and free of dust helps too...

Yes. I used to only have to take allergy medicine in the fall and spring, because of the ragweed and pollen. Now I'm finding that I still have to take it in the winter, when I'm indoors!

Actually, it probably does. All that dirty air really has nowhere to go- except inside you. I don't have excess trouble with winter allergies, but I know people who do.

Yes, I have both and I totally agree. Since I'm allergic to dust mites and mold. So, I have to really keep a clean house!

allergies, and they suck a lot. they make my face have dark circles under my eyes and i can't breathe that well at night. i think what you said has a lot to do with it, like my school's nasty recycled air. gross.

it could, but my allergist tells me to stay inside as much as possible, with the air conditioner on.
