Since most houses are so close to each other
I have always heard neighbors (especially men)
coughing hard and needing to spit loudly!
I hate it…
… until I started coughing as well… in my new place
(I am in a good shape)
The location is very specific, only in the bathroom,
when the room is filled with hot steam
And then the throat gets irritated…
And I have the feeling to spit my lungs out (is it English?)
Very possible. I moved into an apartment once in Taipei, and was having terrible fits of coughing and sickness the first few days. Complained. Repairman came over and pulled open a wall panel, said the mold was so hazardous that I had to immediately move. The apartment owner luckily had another unit available in the building so everything worked out. The unit had been empty for awhile so the mold had taken hold or something I don’t know maybe because the air conditioning wasn’t on for a long time to clean and de-humidify the air.
It is indeed a combination of all the reasons you mention
It is a new house, all new… maybe 2 years
but there is absolutely no ventilation in the bathroom
This tiny fan does not help much
After 3 months in the place, I can see mold growing on the fake ceiling
As for the water, I boiled it a few times as an experiment
it smells chemical for sure
chlorine? bleach? I need a ‘nose’ to help me decide
but not good to drink… and to breathe… for sure
As a conclusion, … well. let it be!
I take cold or warm showers now (not hot with steam everywhere)
And it’s getting better… not coughing
Thanks for the help
