What causes you to smell dust all the time even though your house is clean?

Answer 1

From my own experience, could be several causes (sometimes they exist even simultaneously):

A. could be triggered by a food allergy - observe especially if your nasal mucous membrane becomes dry after ingesting certain foods. Possible foods triggering this:

- diary

- certain additives or extracts in food

- some pesticides or preservatives (even a treated tea)

- even maybe some food triggering cross allergy with some organic dust you are allready respiratory-allergic too

B. Could be a delayed respiratory answer to an allergen in a building air conditioning system.

C. Could be continuous exposure to:

- a detergent in bedclothes

- some actual dust in your house (especially some remained from re-building a place)

- maybe even continuous exposure to some scented oil that triggered you finally this reaction

For the classical dust, maybe try even an organic product for killing dust mites (I saw one that is put in vacuum cleaner). For bigger dust (from construction) you have to vaccum several times, it will disappear gradually.

- recently whitewashed walls

D. If it's not an allergy, I don't know the answer, but maybe it's possible that some staph in your nose produce this or it even could be some side effect of some drug, this I don't know, check with your health care provider for those.

For relief with your nasal mucous membranes, try washing the nose with sea water and lubricate it with vitamine A in oil form. Hope I was able to help.
