I’ve cleaned the AC inside and out, dust thoroughly and vacuum daily. There’s hardly any visible dust but I clean daily anyway. Mold test was negative. Same bedding I use in my other home (never any symptoms there). Symptoms present only inside the vacation home. It’s a small condo built in 1962 and excellently maintained.

Anyone have any other ideas what may be triggering these allergies? Much thanks in advance.

It's that time of year. We already have a pollen count in Georgia.

The problem could be outside and not inside.....plants, trees, grass.

This. No home, meticulously maintained or not, is hermetically sealed. There are gaps in it. The outside will get inside! You go in and out, right? Ironically, you can also be some allergen's transporter!

Thank you for all the responses. I'm using an OTC allergy med that helps, but ideally I'd like to get to the source. My confusion is that the allergies only affect me indoors. I'm outdoors and on the go all day and the allergies only affect me when I'm in the home. If it's an allergen that originates outside the home, I think the allergies should affect me when I'm outside the home also, no? Thanks again (sniffle, sneeze).....

Hard to say. There might be some particular trigger very close to the house (garden tree or shrub? Type of grass?). If/when you're on the go farther away, so is it.
