These ionizers produce ozone, O3. O2 is of course oxygen, so I question an allergy to something so essential. Perhaps the cause is not to O3 but something else that happens. O3 is unstable and likes to attach itself to things in the air, often dust and other things we are allergic to, and then they fall to the floor. So you still have allergens in your house and still have to vacuum them up. Much better is a HEPA filter, which pulls the allergens out of the air.
