So the amount of stuff that I don’t know a dang thing about can startle me at times.
It just seems like I should know more than I do.
But I guess that’s why we’re always living to be learning. Or something like that. So I go to the doctor because I have this chest cold that won’t leave. For me to subject myself to the subzero thermostat setting of the waiting room is a big deal. I just hate going to the doctor. And when she wouldn’t give me any meds for the forever cold, I wasn’t happy about that either. Instead of meds, she told me to call the HVAC company. My problem wasn’t the super bug that I thought I had. The problem was the indoor air quality of my home. That’s where the attack on my respiratory system was happening. And here I thought that my cheap, paper HVAC filters were actually cleaning the air. I mean, they had dust on them when I changed them right? Turns out that those type of air filters aren’t there for anything other than the health of the HVAC equipment. To have a filter that cleaned the air, one needs a HEPA filter. Which is what I have now. I’m getting ahead of myself. First, I called the HVAC professionals and they did the ductwork cleaning the doc wanted. Sure enough, it was like 36 hours after the ductwork cleaning that my symptoms were completely gone. And I’m going to keep the good indoor air quality going with the HEPA filter.
