Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Are you sure it is pollen? Musty odor smells like mold.. Does he irrigate his sinuses? You can wash out your sinuses with saline solution several times a day and it helps, although I have found that even with irrigation I still get blisters in moldy environment, but it reduces the irritation substantially. (Make sure he doesnt inhale the water, blow it out!) Also, you could get a BIG HEPA cleaner like one of the Whirlpool Whispure models..

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Thanks for you response, We are both ill from mold in several homes. We are currently living with different relatives. We were together and I could't handle his mother's place so I went to my brother's house. I didn't notice anything musty and I always do, so perhaps my husband is getting more sensitive then I am. It could be mold of course, but he had most of the trouble outside or when the windows were open, and I am fine out there. I do the saline spray. When you say irrigate do you mean with those nebulizers. I have one, but I couldn't figure out how to do it with saline. I use to get medication to use with it. I do use the saline spray since I had sinus surgery. It is just creepy we are having different problems at different homes. He will visit this weekend and I hope he can handle it. It is hard not being together. Thanks for you concern. It has been such a long road. --- In , LiveSimply <quackadillian@...> wrote: > > Are you sure it is pollen?
