The first and best fix is to avoid exposure. In practical terms, all you can do is reduce it by closing windows during this season. You can also try a HEPA filter (recirculating filter that you can put in your living space and office if practical).

You can try Claritin or some other antihistamine. I’ve not tried these as it didn’t occur to me until recently. Where I live conditions have been against snow mold this year (lucky me). Do try it though and let us know if it helps you.

I have never been tested for it, but I ALWAYS seem to feel terrible right around the time that snow melts every year.

I have monumental headaches, body aches, and an over-all malaise that lasts day after day. I have always thought that the melting of the snow each year had something to do with it, but I really did not know anything about snow mold. I have seen the stuff, but, when I tried to pin it on that, my bride thinks that I am a crazy-assed hypochondriac. All that I know is that gets a bit old to wake up day after day with a huge headache and body aches that only get worse through the day. I seem to pop ibuprophen like candy just to get through the day.

On a related note, what might be the “fix” for this? Claritin? Shots? Just buck up and endure? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
