A member asked:
Can ceiling fan make allergies worse if not dusted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Environmental control is a priority to those allergic to house dust elements (mites, mold, roach). Room surfaces should be vacuumed to avoid dust accumulation. Allergy symptoms would occur with higher chance if there is dust that can become airborne and in contact with the allergic individual.
