Hello JC residents,

My nose has been itchy and uncomfy since roughly one week ago. Same happened to my wife as well. Sneezes and watering a lot. Suspect there are some allergens in my apartment but can't figure out what. Never allergic to anything, never had a pollen issue in Spring but this happened. Any comrades? Thanks!

There's an extremely mild cold going around that could be it

All those lanternfly eggs that are unsmashed are starting to get antsy. We should be smashing them all while they're easy pickings.

Allergies can start any time. I never had seasonal allergies until 2010 and bam 💥… fuck you flowers ever since.

I have allergies, usually manageable with medication. This past year has been a disaster for my allergies! Funny thing is, even my dog started sneezing recently🤷🏻‍♀️

Got 2 air purifiers that run 24/7.

Cold and dry air. Get an inexpensive humidstat. If below 30 relative humidity, get a humidifier.

Get an air purifier inside the apartment. It may help. Also a humidifier because during the winter it dries the air

i have allergies, usually just sinus congestion, and i take claritin d for it. but a few weeks ago i started having weird sore-ish throat symptoms. after a bunch of days i went to urgent care and they said it looked like allergies. i don’t know if its an allergy to something new or what but it’s annoying!

I had to ask my apt management to take a better look at our split AC units. Turned out, they needed to be cleaned around every 6 months. I’m not taking about simply cleaning the screen, but they had to get HVAC people to come and pump out dirt with water. I’ve been in my apt for 6 years and this was the first time it was done. When I moved into it, the previous tenant was here for 3 years. It’s gross.
