A friend of mine (a wonderful alto) just canceled the first of two Messiah
gigs because her mold allergies settled right in her throat and she lost
her middle. It really is heartbreaking! You've all given such great
suggestions in the past and I've passed them along to her. She's taking
Flonase and now the stress has revived her acid reflux, so she's on
prescription medicine for that as well.

She's already allergy-proofed her home as best she can, (air purifier, no
carpets, good housekeeping) but she's not allergic to dust and it's that
damp, humus-y time here in Albany and there's no escaping it.

I was looking on the web for other suggestions when a site selling Allergy
Lights came up. These lights are supposed to kill molds using UV and are
most commonly used in hospitals.

Is anyone familiar with these and their effect?
