I am nearing the end of my house-sitting stint at my friends house – the house with the moldy basement<\/strong>. Most basements in this city are moldy<\/a> it seems, which is why I am loath to move (I live in a house with a dry, relatively mold-free basement). <\/p>\n

I’ve been managing my allergies<\/a> by completely avoiding the basement (except for rare occasions, when I have done my best to take a deep breath before opening the door, running down the narrow stairs, doing what I have to do, running up again … hopefully all on one breath as I slam the door behind me).<\/p>\n

I was down there a little longer this afternoon, and now I am paying the price. I am noticing a bit of a headache, and general muscle discomfort, especially in the back of my neck.<\/p>\n

The fact that I had a couple of spelt<\/a> cookies yesterday may not have helped. Although spelt is not exactly wheat<\/a>, it isn’t exactly not wheat either. A combination of mold exposure and spelt consumption – not good!<\/p>\n
