Stamp Collecting And Allergies???

Hi,
I've been buying old albums over the last three years, picking them over and fixing them up and reselling, etc.

Some of the albums have been "musty", and a couple had mildew.

Lately, I have come to the realization that being around this stuff is causing the red itchy eyes, stuffy head, etc. that I have been experiencing more than usual the last couple of years.

I do take meds for it, of course, but messing with the old albums may just be doing me in.

Anyone else out there have this situation???

i just took a benadryl allergy pill for the first time for just that I couldn't stand the sneezing and the stuffed up nose, takes about an hour but all is clear now.

I take so many benadryl I should be their posterboy! lol
