Are my living conditions affecting my health?!?

Live in an apt complex & my neighbor is moving. I went in her apt, & it had a VERY strong stale smell. She showed me the mold damage she had. There were gray blotches on the walls that were painted over, & holes in the ceiling over her shower. She had huge cracks between the wall and the floor, & gaps around the piping of the heat vents, where bugs come through.

When I moved into my apt, it reeked of the same staleness, & bleach. I have gaps around my heat vents, with bugs coming through every so often. Most are silverfish (big w/ lots of legs if u don't know). I keep finding egg sacs building up in the corners of my ceiling that I keep getting rid of.

Since Oct (same month I moved into apt), when I got bloodwork done at DR's, it would come back with high counts of white blood cells, and I'd feel fine. I'm healthy, too - no HIV or cancer, or the like. I'm RARELY down with a cold, even. Do you think my living conditions could be the cause of this?

  1. No--personally your living conditions would cause me to be sick all the time.  High white cell counts can be dangerous.  VERY high can mean a rare kind of leukemia.  (My mom has it.)  Please continue to see the Dr for bloodwork!
