exposure to booklice/mould with autoimmune thyroid

I moved into a house a few months back which was a new build type set up but the shell of the house is older ( a refurb essentially)

we discovered mould in bathroom then recently booklice in some rooms which i’ve read can come from mould or drying plaster

i’ve been venting all the rooms, bought a dehumidifier and treated the mould. i’ve also put talc on the skirting boards alongside insecticide which seems to be doing something

i’ve developed a massive rash on my body andy eyes are swelling up regularly ( this started before the insecticide)

does anyone know if there is a way to test if the two things are connected? it could be peri menopaose and/or seasonal allergies either way i would like to know

thank you
