The worst part is that he's so sensitive to it, just a bit rubbing off can set him off.

Me too. Husband was using one of those Tide sticks for when he spills lunch on his dress shirts and I was getting hives when I did the laundry just throwing them in the machine. I'm even allergic to Dreft. We just used Cheer on the baby bedding too.
 
Allergies to laundry products are no joke. I'm allergic to most everything except Cheer. Bring my own bed linens and towels when we travel.
Don't have (much) problem with laundry detergent but heavily scented floral air fresheners in bathrooms make my head explode. And we tell them in advance to strip all feather pillows & comforters from the room. Really bad sinus reaction to those...

It wasn't so bad before the constant exposure, but after the first couple months, it became a 24/7 thing for 6 months.

The folks that brought about the exposure just continue to expose me to it when they get opportunities. It's, um, troubling.

Do epi-pens have any value for him?

I have considered those for bees. I had a couple of bad reactions when I was in my 20's to stings, mostly swelling and dizziness. Got stung last week by one that was impatient when I was watering the garden. As dry as it is, they all show up for that. I immediately got a kid to help me clean it up and didn't react. It may depend on what kind of bee it is.

Like everything else medical, I think they are bankrupting people who need those now.
 
Troubling is a good way to put it.

Yeah. So far, the initial responses from the different people involved:

Last October, when we had first figured it out, started our own deep cleaning, and let the people responsible know what we needed from them: "Oh, I don't think we have time for that."

This week's person: "I didn't do anything different. Sounds like it could be the humidity." Thanks, Mom.

One of my nieces little girls has severe allergies to a bunch of stuff. They have to uber careful about anything new she eats. They have made several ER runs with her and have to carry the EpiPen with them at all times. Good news for the little girl is both parental units are doctors. I cannot imagine my sister going "Well, your dad likes peanuts (or any of the other stuff) and we aren't going to give them up just because of our granddaughter's visiting!". o_O

I think our next response should involve Z's peanut allergy by asking these folks "Would you feed your granddaughter peanuts?"

Obviously, if the answer is yes, they're gone forever. If no, then they should be able to figure it out from there.

The weather gods are not being nice to Clayton and Allamakee counties (again).

Hopefully we'll catch a rain it's been probably 3 weeks since we've got any. I'm hoping that one of those cells drop down my way tonight.
