Hello Road Warrior,   I agree with the all the expert has suggested; however, since you didn't mention what allergy medications you are taking, if any, then I would most definitely wait and see your/a physician for professional advice.   Should you know the effect that these allergens could cost you it might even be within your best interest to pay a relative to assist in the move.   Also, I have found that wearing an EPA mask only works if you have one that conforms to your face; so, take the time to get a good one even if it cost more than expected.   Hopes Liaison, a fellow allergen suffurer
