SpongeBob SquarePants I noticed one house of mine has blown in insulation in the attic and I have developed massive allergies in the house. My other house has batting insulation and I don't have any issues. I can go from one house to the other and go from allergy attack to cleared out and back the other way. The only real difference between the 2 houses is the type of insulation. They are both less than 10 years old.

Latex paint does not contain natural latex protein but rather synthetic materials including vinyl acetate and acrylates. Since there is no natural latex protein found in latex paint, people with latex allergy are at no increased risk of an allergic reaction due to exposure to latex paint. For this reason, many companies have proposed changing the name from latex paint to acrylic paint.

Our town allows for a a free energy inspection of your home, they pay the inspector, to give advice as to how to make your home more efficient. The inspector told me I need more insulation in my attic. Not surprised, this house has always been cold.
