Since I started my job at the library almost four months ago, I have had the worst sinuses and allergies of my life. I've been on antibiotic after antibiotic, numerous different meds and I can't seem to get ahold of things. I've had bronchitis, pneumonia and a chronic sinus infection. Here I set tonight with an ear infection and fluid. It's been really hard to function well with all this going on and it really concerns me that I am so allergic to things in my workplace. I have had random problems through the years, but NOTHING like this. My Dr. says a library is one of the most toxic work environments out there.....the germs from all of our patrons, the mold and dust from the books and lots of formaldehyde being put off as well. Our library is def aging and mold is visible in several places.
We have our big summer reading program going on right now and missing work is just not an option!
