Just before leaving our London house we discovered that I am allergic to horsehair, and this was the reason why I had chronic sinusitis. After moving to Norway nearly 3 years ago, I have had problems with my sinuses once, as opposed to having sinus infections and needing antibiotics once a month at least and allergy spray daily.
Do you know if there is anything we can do regards to minimizing the problem if we were to return to our London house?
Or should we try look for a more modern house, or one built without horsehair to "bind" the plaster? I am keen on a period house. We had a "working class cottage" in south west London, and loved the neighbourhood as it was so green and leafy. I would like to return there, but not if I get ill again.
Any advice?
