Cleaning for Allergy and Asthma Sufferers
Ready for another round of allergies?My daughter recently had a bout with asthma. The strange thingis, she hadn't had any problems for a couple of years. Inlooking at the possible triggers - She had a new batch ofpuppies at her dad's. While the 2 dogs didn't seem to botherher, the addional puppies seemed to put her over the edge.To make matters worse, since we hadn't had problems for a coupleof years, I had become lax in some of the cleaning that I wouldhave done when she had problems every year.Once I realized what her problem was, I immediately startedcleaning for asthma. That means thoroughly vacuuming walls,behind furniture, matresses, pillows, upholstery, screens, andvents, and dusting every crevice- including things like behindthe tv and stereo inside the cabinet, the backs of furniture.I normally dust the ceiling fans and blinds, but if you kindaskip those, you need to pay more attention if you have anyallergies or asthma in your home.A quick carpet clean and changing air filters and furnace filters finishes up the cleaning job.You also want to change your hand towels everyday, just in case it is a virus triggering the response.If you have pets, keep them clean and brushed, and their livingareas cleaned.
Keep pets out of the bedrooms of affected people.The things that typically trigger asthma is actually pretty long-House dust mites found in carpeting, mattresses, bed linens,toys, upholstered furniture, dampness, poor ventilation,unvented cooking, humidifiersAnimal-derived allergens from dogs, cats, rodents, and birds.Mold found in carpeting, walls, and windows, caused by leaks,poor ventialtion, water damage, or dampness.Nitrogen oxides produced by space heaters or gas-fueledcooking stove, used with poor ventilation.Wood Smoke from wood stoves or fireplaces, used withpoor ventilation, or faulty equipment causing fumes tocome back into the room.Fumes from cleaners, aerosols- like hairsprays, perfumesand even air fresheners, pesticides, formaldehyde found insome older household products.Viral respiratory infections - exposure to infected peopleEndotoxins from bacteria growing in soil, humidifiers, andother moist places.Cockroach allergenTobacco smokeExcess weight.If there is one thing you can do to minimize allergy or asthmasuffering- it is to become a vacuuming fanatic. The more you getinto that bag, the less you have floating around in the air.It's healthier, and you'll have less dusting to do..

The Real Bastille, Up Close and Personal -- An 18th Century Journalist Tells All
North Hollywood, CA (ContentDesk) July 10, 2006 -- Did a book bring down the Bastille? In 1780, nine years before the fall of Frances most infamous prison, the French Royal government arrested a quarrelsome, controversial and yet very popular journalist: Simon Nicolas Henri Linguet. Twenty months later they made a mistake; they released him. They saw no reason to worry; Linguet, like all released prisoners, had signed the standard release form, which included these words: "being freed, I promise, in accordance with the king's orders, to not speak to anyone at all, in any manner whatsoever, of the prisoners, nor anything else concerning the castle of the Bastille, of which I might have knowledge."He lied.Having immediately (and wisely) fled to London, Linguet not only wrote in detail of his experience, but published it in the most popular periodical of the time - which, conveniently enough, he ran. His "Memoirs of the Bastille" at once became a runaway bestseller, not only in French...
