+++Hi there. Welcome to our group. I see you just joined Jan. 15th.

Here is something I haven't seen discussed here yet. I don't know whether it is

unique to England.

My family escaped a WDB in London last September. We bounced around London for

awhile, then I went to the US, Seattle, with the kids for a few months, and

returned to London 10 days ago.

In the last days, I am experiencing incredible itchiness. When we were in

London before, itchiness was one of my mould symptoms, which would be relieved

by a vinegar bath. In the US, I rarely experienced the itchiness, except on a

friend's sofa. Now, after walking into a friend's house for five minutes, I

have been itchy for most of the last four days.

A neighbour who also had a bad mold problem in her house which they've tried to

remediate, complains that, while in most respects they are feeling better,

feeling itchy is now her worst problem.

I find that I can feeling fine, but if I sit on some pieces of furniture, the

itchiness starts. The other day, I felt itchy inside but fine outside.

Sometimes, if I shift furniture the itchiness goes away. But sometimes, once it

starts, even if it lessens, it gradually builds back up again.

I've gone to bed fine and woken up itchy. But the next night, stayed itch-free

all night, and most of the day. Felt fine on a certain chair all day. Til

evening, when sitting there made me go itchy.

I don't know if it's mold, actually I think it is something else, but I think

that the mold exposure caused me to be reactive in this way. It seemed to come

from a friend's 100 year old house -- in the autumn, they tore through their

attic to make an extension to their house. My daughter had a sleepover there.

The morning after she returned to our hotel, all five of us felt really ill --

red eyes, tired, depressed, unwell. When I picked up her suitcase, I threw up.

I think all of our health declined from that episode. A mould test in the house

did not show any mould. Now, 3 months later, I walked into the house for less

than 5 minutes, didn't sit on anything, felt ok there (but they had just put in

new carpet -- difficult odor), and I'm left with wretched itchiness. Which I've

heard at least one other in the UK suffers from.

Any experience with or thoughts about The Itch?
