Dust allergy and moving house.

I get really bad dust allergy. Not on a day to day basis, but I can't clear anything out as it becomes unbearable and unmanageable even with treatment. Just wondered how other people cope

DH has this (asthma related). If he's doing anything like this, he takes an antihistamine before it and wears a good quality dust mask and gloves /long sleeves/trousers. Shower straight after.

I also have a dust allergy , when we bought the house we have now it needed a lot of work doing to it and it was extremely dusty , the only thing i can suggest to help keep dust down is to wear a dust mask and to fill a spray bottle with water and keep spraying the air with it , its catches dust particles

Dust mask. Didn't think of that! Am sitting here itching and wheezing away after doing one drawer!
