Being sick is no fun at all! I have never really been a sickly kind of person, but in the last three months, I’ve gotten sick four times.
I’ve been to the doctor each time, and she just gives me a prescription and sends me on my way.
I wanted to know what was causing my sickness. I eat a really scrub diet, and I exercise officially, so I didn’t understand why I was getting sick so often especially since it was the middle of July. If I ever get sick, it’s usually once a year in the Springtime, and that’s usually just my dust irritations. One of my friend’s asked me how long it had been since I changed or cleaned the air filters in my a/c. I thought about it and realized that I had never cleaned them, she mentioned that the same thing had happened to her. She was getting sick a lot, and her doctor told her to try cleaning her air conditioner filters and see if it would help. It did! She didn’t get sick for almost a year after cleaning the filters. After she mentioned that, I went house and cleaned my air conditioner filters. I couldn’t feel how gross it was. The filters were filled with mold which is really what was making me sick. Since I cleaned the filter, I haven’t gotten sick. It’s only been about two weeks since I cleaned them, so my buddy and I will see in time if that was really what was making me sick or not. Regardless if my air conditioner filters were what was making me sick or not, they needed cleaning.
