Is Your Home Making You Sick? 7 Silent Signs to Watch For
Is Your Home Making You Sick? 7 Silent Signs to Watch For
You spend countless hours cleaning your home. You vacuum, mop, dust, and more. And sure, your home looks clean, but what if the problems plaguing your family aren’t something you can actually see?
Every day, families are plagued with persistent health issues that don’t have a clear cause. A cough that won’t go away, constant fatigue, unexplained skin irritation, brain fog, or maybe even life-threatening health issues.
But what they don’t know is that their home could be what's causing these issues.
If you’ve been feeling “off” without an explanation, your home might be the reason why. Here’s a checklist to make sure your home is really healthy.
1. You’re always tired, even after a full night’s sleep.
Poor indoor air quality - caused by mold, dust, or VOCs (volatile organic compounds) - can leave you feeling foggy and drained, no matter how much you rest. And no matter how much you clean, mold could still be present in your home! At Pure Home Health, we test your entire home for signs of mold with tests backed by vetted labortories.
2. Your skin is dry, itchy, or breaking out.
Chlorine, fluoride, and other contaminants in tap water can strip away your skin’s natural barrier. This is especially true if you already struggle with eczema, acne, or sensitive skin. And if you think that water filter is cleaning your water, think again! No matter how expensive the filter, it could still leave contaminants in your water.
3. You have a lingering cough or sinus issues.
If you’ve ruled out seasonal allergies or a cold, your air may be to blame. Mold spores and bacteria from HVAC systems or hidden moisture damage can inflame your respiratory system. No matter how much you clean and what air filters or purification systems you use, mold could still be the culprit. This is especially true in older homes!
4. You get headaches or brain fog at home.
Toxins like formaldehyde (found in furniture, flooring, and paint) can cause headaches, dizziness, and mental fog, especially in poorly ventilated areas. Remember when we mentioned filters not protecting your family's health? It’s essential for you to know what’s in your water and filter it from your system!
5. Your child complains of tummy aches or mood swings.
Heavy metals or bacteria in drinking water can impact gut health, especially in children. And yes, water can affect mood, behavior, and digestion. That’s why it’s essential to have a filtration system that removes all the harmful chemicals from your water - and no, that water filter probably isn’t cutting it.
6. You smell something musty but can’t find the source.
That damp smell might mean hidden mold! It loves to grow in areas you rarely check: behind walls, under floors, and in basements or bathrooms. That’s why testing for mold proactively is so essential to your family’s health!
7. You’ve “tried everything”… but symptoms keep coming back.
When switching products, diets, or doctors doesn’t help, the root of the issue may be right under your roof. If you’ve “tried everything,” it’s time to test your home and see how healthy it actually is.
