..but there's probably mold in there, too. Yes, I was a human pin cushion today and yes, they did find out that I am allergic to mold, trees, pollen, grass, weeds, ragweed, and dustmites. I will start getting allergy shots next week. I know that this all started when I was exposed to mold growing in my classroom! I taught in a school building that was over 60 yrs. old and there were numerous leaks in the roof. On rainy days I had 5 or 6 buckets sitting around to catch the rain water. Unfortunately, most of the time the water just splashed onto the 50plus yr. old carpet in the room! Ugh, disgusting, I know. The good news is that a new school is being built and will be open in the fall of 2003.

I hope everyone has enjoyed this glorious day! We're headed to Ocean City in about an hour.

Kacee, you might have to tell me in chat tonight who gets the boot on AI.

Hope to see y'all later....

Hugs,Shari

I have been on allergy immunization therapy for a couple of years now and it really does help. Seems like you and I are allergic to a lot of the same things. I bought the pillow covers and mattress covers for the dust mites which really helps, too. Good luck!
