insect bite.. .............?
Me and hubby got bitten by some insect inside the house but not sure what kind, inspected around the house a lot but only found a tiny brown spider near the central AC vent. Decided to anyways get the carpets and floor professionally cleaned up, but thought if anyone had any idea could help us get some clue on identifying and prevention. We got bitten at least 5-6 times so pretty sure of the symptoms. it goes like this 1) started noticing it when suddenly it aches and burns on the skin, mostly on the arms and back of the neck area, always while in the living room.. 2) the first 2 days it feels like a swollen red area around of 1 inch, the area becomes tight and hard to touch, and the area feels very hot. most of the times it is a single bite and once it was a cluster of 3 bites. 3) it is itchy, applying baby powder helps a lot 4).. after 3 days, it leaves a brown-black scar behind and no symptoms at all.. we checked for all signs of bed bugs but nothing. made sure that we change the clothes always before getting into the bed. last month we had a spider bite near the porch but the smptoms were different then, only swelling that went away after 2 days. any idea of what kind of insect could cause this?

I turn on my ac and it turns on outside. It has ice on the copper tubing outside. It blows inside for only a very few minutes. then it stops blowing inside while unit continues to work outside. Can it be condenser in attic be dirty? Can it be possible to have a leak? Or what else can it be. what could cause the copper tubing to have ice on the outside unit.

Can anyone give me ideas of what to do about mold in my apartment, Causing health problems?
Been living here three years, every year about this time, get stuffy nose, dry hacking cough. I've tried humidifiers, vaporizers, I keep a headache. I found mold in a closet where the Central AC unit is, a lot of mold, cant clean it up. I live in public housing apartments, cant afford over $300.00 to have someone come in check for mold. I had 2 neighbors prior from 2 different apartments move, for they stayed sick with upper respiratory problems. I do not have that option to move. Neighbor a block north, has a 4 yr old son who has been sick over a month, she also found mold in her apartment. We've talked to our landlord, who truly is there to get a paycheck only. We dont know what else to do. It's not just these 2 apartments, there are many more, that people keep being sick in. Please dont hate on me for living in public housing, or the projects, I have a bad back injury when my ex husband hit me with a Ford F150 long ago, and honestly, I want to work, but cant. So limited income, sick of being sick, along with many other people in the neighborhood. We're in Florida, is there anything we can do to make the landlord fix this? I have no where else to move to. Thanks for reading this! Thanks K, been leaving doors and windows open in the day. Its humid in Florida, even more at night it seems. I check constantly everywhere, to make sure nothing is damp or wet.

Seeking advice on what to do about my apartment?
I am not trolling, my neighbors and I need serious help. Been living here three years, every year about this time, get stuffy nose, dry hacking cough.

Please dont hate on me for living in public housing, or the projects, I have a bad back injury when my ex husband hit me with a Ford F150 long ago, and honestly, I want to work, but cant. I've checked in every closest, under the sinks, in the laundry room, to make sure there isnt standing water or wet spots. So limited income, sick of being sick, along with many other people in the neighborhood. We're in Florida, is there anything we can do to make the landlord fix this? I have no where else to move to. Is there a way to force the landlord to do something here? Some neighbors are afraid to say anything to him, afraid they will be evicted and have no where else to move to. Thanks for reading this! @kemperk I dont smoke, I live in a small town, no college nearby! Moving would be an option, if somewhere else in my income range was available here, but it isnt! I wish some people had the capability to think a moment before they let their brains leak through their keyboards! Your assumptions are not needed! @fire4511 The public housing I live in, is not the slums, we, the tenants, keep the sidewalks and outside areas of our apartments clean. I dont know about inside the units of other tenants, but I prefer a clean living environment. I've been reading online of overpressurization and underpressurization, landlord has had new tighter windows installed, blown-in insulation, among other things in attempts improve the units. Our lease clearly reads "Do not under any circumstances open the doors where the hot water heater and Central Heat/Air unit inside is located". Under this Heat/air unit, on the floor and surrounding walls, is where the mold is built up. Yes, I open the doors, since the landlords took the locks off, giving me access! I have sprayed with bleach/water, scrubbing everything within reach. Also in our leases, we are guaranteed to have a good quality life, including our health due to any problems in the units. Seems there should be more that could be done to find out what is cau
