Apparently my boss's wife suffers from allergies that get really bad close to Christmas. They figured out it's the trees. She always want the tree put up the weekend of Thanksgiving, so my Christmas the mold issue is a real problem. Did you know about this?

For many years I had used an artificial tree, when I bought my house, it had 12" ceilings, I thought it would be beautiful to get a real tree, plus the old tree was only 7 foot tall and looked weird in a place with such high ceilings . Huh! My son has allergies to pine trees.

Yes, every christmas I would get a cold I could not shake. January 5th the cold was gone for good. I cannot remember who told me it was the christmas tree making me sick. I have not had a cold or been sick since I stopped having a christmas tree. I wish I had known this when the kids were small two of the boys would always get sick during the christmas holiday. We always had a large tree.

i'm undecided there is taken into consideration one of those ingredient. There are latex molds for making plaster of Paris timber, yet I even have in no way considered molds for the timber made out of cement. A cement mildew could must be fairly ridged, to help the burden of the cement. My maximum suitable advice to you may do a information superhighway seek for cement molds and spot if any small ornamental molds are available in everywhere. i'm, as your different answerer, speaking approximately something i'm no longer conscious of. i'm only attempting to help with a guiding principle.

Now I know! When I was young I would always get allergies when the tree came in, so my parents bought an artificial. That ended my problems. They always thought it was the tree itself, now I think it probably was the mold.

We have a lot of cedar trees where I live and a lot of people have allergies to them. I don't care for them because it takes so much water for one to survive!!

Wasn't aware of it -- afterall, doves nest in firs and I've never heard a coo with achoo attached.
