It's been about 3 months now, about 2 1/2 of itchy eyes, then a runny nose for a few weeks and now both.

Anyone going through a similar streak? I'm wondering if it could be related to mold or is it just stuff in the air?

Judging by the layer of black dust that appears on everything outside (very quickly) I would guess that there is a lot of STUFF in the air here.

I've also had itchy eyes for the past three weeks. I have a runny nose now, too, but only because I was sick recently (AGAIN ). [/i]

i've pretty much itched my eyes raw at this point. full on allergy attacks left and right.
this is my 3rd time dealing with rainy season in korea. i am very allergic to mold. we moved into a new place this year and it's so disgusting from mold, i could barely sleep for the last few weeks.
we started cleaning the walls, but have discovered that the mold is not only between the wall and the wallpaper, but between 3 layers of wallpaper that has never come down. we've been ripping it all down, now.
i tackled it for hours this weekend, and i'm starting to feel better today. although, usually your symptoms will get worse before they get better if you clean since you're kicking up all the mold into the air.
