I went for 1 week on area with less damp and good place, so I felt improved in asthma induced exercise, I don’t know what flare ups? I am on clenil now, I have to solve my asthma problem this summer before next spring, I just come back one night to my current are and tomorrow I am gona leave, some friends helped me, I asked authority one year and no help, I found my neighbor complain about damp 5 years, terrible situation,

Or maybe I will do tiles or other solutions for dampness like ceramics

Is it helpful against damp?

We need a bit more information - do you live in a damp house, or is the area generally damp? Are you in the uk?

[miriALsumayra in reply to ChrissieMons]

I live in ground floor, I smell to much damp and scent from house corners, the house located in middltone in greater Manchester, I think it’s lower area, that’s the problem I think, I been literally tortured this winter due to shit house, I got too much chilblains due to staying in cod and not use heat systems,

[ChrissieMons in reply to miriALsumayra]

Get on to the council about finding you a safer place to live. Get a letter from your doctor to help with your problem.

Why do t you use the heating systems?

[miriALsumayra in reply to Itswonderful]

Not good for asthmatics

[EmmaF91 Community Ambassador in reply to miriALsumayra]

Erm... I use the heating systems. In fact not using is worse for my asthma seeing as it makes my too cold and WILL give any flat damp etc if you don’t (this is England after all 😅)

I don’t usually use it during sleeping hours cause it shouldn’t be used then really unless it’s super cold. But generally you’ll find that most asthmatics (in England) use their central heating to stop mould and to help their lungs - just not overnight!

Hope this helps

I think I read about cold can cripple any small microorganism, I want to buy air conditioner, it’s very good for asthma

[Itswonderful in reply to miriALsumayra]

Just to clarify, you are saying that to use the heating system makes your asthma worse?

[miriALsumayra in reply to Itswonderful]

Yes, I stay in cold I feel like no any problem in chest I wen seaside one week and I stayed outside and slept rough sleeper when temperature 0 and and I felt my asthma better, next week am going back to seaside

I got asthma when I moved house 24years ago. It was damp, typical of an old Cornish granite building and common knowledge to locals but not me!You could literally smell the spores inside one of the kitchen cupboards. Housing is very expensive here relative to income, and private rented is hard to find.

I was on the local housing register; unfortunately I couldn’t claim the damp conditions to support my housing need as the policy was to have the council inspect it... they would then demand that the landlord fixed it (major costly works) which would then result in retaliatory eviction. So most people get stuck in sub standard homes rather than risk eviction.

Catch 22.

In this way housing need figures are ‘inaccurate’.
