Dust allergy and coops

[Duckfarmer1]

I am allergic for some things too (trees) And food intolerant for some things.

Everyone who has problems like that should take anti-histamine tablets. This is not just to lower the symptoms, but also to prevents that its getting worse.
Get informed.
Go see you're doctor

I would ask someone else to clean the coop or stop having chickens if allergic to them.

I do all of those things listed except have someone else clean up the coop. I’m the one who decided to have them, so I take precautions...and, when we do the big clean outs, my hubby gladly..lol..jumps in. If I were that allergic, I would have to stop, but luckily, it’s not like that. The hay is much worse for me in the barn..I actually passed out this fall and knocked my front tooth loose. Plus had to get my lip stitched. That’s when I went to the dr and got on nasal spray and allergy med. sometimes I’ll take a cough syrup on a bad day. But, it’s not been near that bad...thank heavens, because, I’m not giving up my farming!! What started as a hobby, is now my obsession!!

Must be hard to fall like that. I do hope you’ll get better. Forgot to wich you well in my previous post.

My previous post was meant for allergic people in general, and I was in a hurry for an appointment. I know a lot if people don’t take the anti-histamine tablets because they think medicins are poison for you’re body.

But with an allergy it does not work that way. If people who react to dust (poo of dust mites, dust from animals, pollen) do not take them, the allergy gets worse every year. And possible get intolerant or allergic for food too.

Oh no worries...I’m fine from the falll..just hurt my pride.... My son and hubby don’t take meds because they think it’s poison for their body....some of those people...I love them dearly...but...there is just no telling them.....but, I do what i works for me and leave the tablets on the table so they are there if needed....hmmmm
