This past summer we bought/moved to a new house and shortly afterwards I installed a wood insert. I love wood heat and so does she, although we're finally learning she may have a bit of an allergy to either the wood/dust. We've taken a break from burning a couple times (among many other things) to try to pinpoint the allergy and the source. Seems pretty clear that whenever we're not burning she is fine, but whenever we do she develops snuffy nose, watery eyes; normal allergy symptoms.
By no means are her allergies very serious, but they definitely are very noticeable. We had been planning to install a second larger stove and heat solely with wood in the coming years, but now I'm not so sure. I really want to continue on burning, but obviously am concerned with this situation.
What would you do? Cut back, quit, air purifier, Reactine...?
I'm sure others may have encountered this situation at one point or another, so I"m curious to hear what you did to resolve/cope?
Thanks
