Hard surfaces are so much more health friendly, reducing the allergen level when properly cared for but there is a down side. Thursday night I started reacting to something in the house. The reaction became steadily worse over the weekend with two asthma flare-ups. The problem with hard surfaces is the allergens are just there, free to become airborne unlike when they settle into carpeting where they are slowly released back into the air. An allergic person will still react but because it is a slower release the reaction is not as severe however, in a home where there are fewer hiding places for allergens, the allergic reaction can be more severe. That's what I'm experiencing and so far it hasn't been pleasant.
