^^Testing carpet for mold and bacteria- how?

[Guest guest]

Jeff,

As beer relies on yeast [a mold] in the manufacturing process might there be a

relevance?

I am allergic to certain white wines.. I've been told I'm probably allergic to

the yeast generated by the fermentation process in that particular wine.

I just got a piece of usefull Christmas information. A friend of mine got

drunk and came out in hives and allergic reactions. He looked like he was

going to die and friends took hiim to hospital. The emergency team had a

look at him and asked if he had been drinking Budwiser, not the most popular

bear in the UK. He said he had, and the doctor told him it has the highest

wheat content of any beer and that it was most likely an allergic reaction

to the wheat which may or may not have a relevence to mold?

Yes, I am ALSO allergic to dust and dust mites. In fact I test positive to

14 out of the 16 environmental allergens in my first allergy test, some more

strongly than others but this all of a sudden (to me anyway). Dust, dust

mites, weeds, grass, trees, bugs, on and on.

I don't like drapery anyway but came with the house years ago and putting

ANYTHING over the windows new is expensive so have been holding on to them.

Not only is that a good idea to try to reduce mold spores in the home, but

also dust mites which cause problems for a lot of people. We have no

carpeting, no drapes, and washable blinds (just the cheap kind you can buy

at WalMart

or Target) that can be washed with soap and water. We do have some

washable

rugs - like in the entryways and the bathroom and some curtains over the

blinds in the bedroom - but the curtains are machine washable so they are

easily

cleaned when they get dusty. We also have an air purifier too - which

greatly reduces the dust in the house.....which also cuts down on how much

dusting

you have to do on the furniture too....an extra bonus!
