Can White Chalky Residue On Furniture Surface Cause Allergy And Asthma Issues?
We moved about a month ago and since then it seems my daughter is sick every other week with allergy and asthma type symptoms. My husband just noticed a white residue on some furniture surfaces. The only thing we could narrow it down to was the popcorn ceiling. When you touch it there is a white chalky residue left on your fingers. Is this common with these type of ceilings, can this be causing her respiratory issues?? My son has now been complaining of itchy & watery eyes
