I get intense hay-fever symptoms when inhaling moderate amounts of household dust... The larger the dose, the worse the symptoms. But I thought there was something toxic in the dust that caused it, such as particles from sprays and other cleaning products, and building materials or paint coming off the walls or ceiling. I don't get these symptoms otherwise or when exposed to dirt or sand. Does anyone else here react to household dust in that way?
Also, it would be interesting to devise a test whereby I can see if natural dust, unpolluted by civilized life, would still cause this allergic reaction in me. Any ideas? Dust doesn't usually collect in natural places, that's why I ask. Maybe a cave? I don't know. Does dust collect in caves? I never actually checked, but I don't think it does.
