Continuous cleaning
I am an atopic individual and after getting to know that I've have become extra careful about my health. I've the tendencies to get allergic rhinitis and allergic dermatitis so I've become more careful. But past few days I've started to fear about it. I constantly worry about it whether I might get an allergic reaction so I started cleaning my room and my house and try to make it spotless I keep cleaning my house out of the fear hoping that I don't fall sick. Is it a normal behaviour or is it something unusual? And if I don't clean I feel I'm sure to get an allergic reaction. So is it something to worry about?
