'HOME FEVER' IS THE NEW HAY FEVER
http://www.allergyuk.org/news_homefever.aspxAllergy UK reveals millions are allergic to their own homes
Allergy UK predicts at least 12 million people(i) are allergic to their own
home.
An out of season hay fever, dubbed as 'home fever', (Perennial Allergic
Rhinitis) by Allergy UK is on the increase with more and more sufferers
coming forward.
Research by Allergy UK found 58%(ii) of allergy sufferers react to house
dust mites. Closing doors and windows and turning the heating up creates a
breeding ground for these microscopic creatures.
But it's not just dust that causes problems; 31% of sufferers are allergic
to mould, and 45% of sufferers say their allergy is triggered by pets. On
top of that the chemicals in cleaning products cause a reaction in over 30%
of sufferers.
With the most common symptoms of an indoor allergy or 'home fever' being a
runny nose and sneezing, people all too often confuse allergy symptoms with
a common cold or flu and therefore, don't treat the cause of the problem.
Indoor Allergy Week runs from 14th- 20th November and is designed to raise
awareness of indoor allergies caused by house dust mites, moulds and pets,
as well as chemical sensitivity. The charity will be providing help and
support throughout the week for the millions of sufferers in the UK.
The research by Allergy UK revealed that people aren't doing enough to
reduce the house dust mite allergen. The amount of sufferers is set to
worsen if the nation doesn't take action.
59% of indoor allergy sufferers said their symptoms are worse in the
bedroom. Not surprising when you consider the average bed harbours two
million house dust mites and the average pillow doubles in weight over a
period of six months due to dust mite faeces.
While there is no 'cure' for 'home fever', Lindsey McManus from Allergy UK
recommends these top tips to manage symptoms and reduce the amount of indoor
allergens in the home
* Dust regularly but use a damp duster first, then a dry cloth.
Otherwise, you are just moving the dust around
* Wash bedding once a week at 60°C or higher to remove house dust mites.
Allergy UK's research revealed 16% of people wash bed linen every three
weeks or less. And with 58% washing bedding at 30 or 40 degrees, house dust
mites are set to stay
* Regularly steam clean carpets and curtains
* Use allergen-proof barrier covers on mattresses, duvets and pillows
* Replace your mattress every 8-10 years. The research found 13% have
had their current mattress for 11 years or more, where as 3% have kept
theirs for 20 years
* Buy new pillows every year - don't wait five years or more like the
25% of allergy sufferers out there
* Use an air purifier to help remove and reduce allergens such as
pollen, house dust mite debris and mould spores
* Buy products that have been tested to ensure they prevent the escape
of the house dust mite allergen. Look for the Allergy UK Seal of Approval
* If you think you might be suffering from an indoor allergy, call

Letter to Allergy UK re above article
Re - 'Home Fever' is the new Hay Fever
http://www.allergyuk.org/news_homefever.aspx
Dear Allergy UK
When Allergy UK says that there is no cure for the millions of people who suffer from the new allergy known as 'Home Fever', I beg to differ and I offer you a suggestion that may cure the vast majority of persons who suffer from this illness. It is obvious that a new ubiquitous environmental contaminant is causing or strongly influencing these new allergies. The most likely contaminant is electro magnetic radiation and, in particular, microwave radiation from wireless devices such as cell phones, cordless telephones, Wi Fi, wireless games, and radiation from outdoor antennas.
My suggestion to persons suffering from "Home Fever" is to unplug cordless telephones and use wired telephones, unplug Wi Fi routers and use only safe wired connections to the internet, only turn on cell phones when they are needed for urgent situations, do not use other wireless devices, and shield your home from external antenna radiation. For an even better solution, people should try sleeping with the electricity in the bedrooms turned off at the main electrical panel.
I am speaking from some experience, as I have suffered from electro-sensitivity for the last eight years. When I am exposed to microwave radiation from the above mentioned wireless devices, I suffer from allergic effects, including asthma type symptoms, as though someone were sitting on my chest. Also, testing has shown that my heart rate changes drastically and I develop irregular heartbeat when exposed. There are also many other more subtle "allergic" effects that I have experienced. The worst of all the effects was cancer. I am in touch with many other electro sensitive people around the world who report a vast array of allergic reactions.
Every person in the world is allergic to electromagnetic radiation, the only thing that is at doubt is the level of exposure at which this occurs. Most governments and health agencies allow strong exposure levels as their safety standards but these are decided simply by considering thermal effects. They fail to take into consideration the thousands of biological effects that scientific research has discovered at levels of radiation that are below government safety standards. These effects have been reported over the last sixty years. It is the biological effects of microwave radiation that are most likely causing the allergies that your article reports. Many of these adverse health effects are documented and referenced in the scientific publication "The Bioinitiative Report", and can be viewed online at www.bioinitiative.org .
The possible solutions that I have provided to you are cost free and very simple to try. Results are likely to be seen within hours or days. Please tell people about this possible cure for their illnesses and give them an opportunity to try the cure for themselves.
Yours sincerely,
Martin Weatherall
