LPs and allergies, anyone?


After my wife's severe allergic attack last weekend, I decided to move my 1000 LPs from the entertainment unit to the garage. My wife unfortunately still has allergy issues, but I'll stick with my decision, because I noticed how pungent the sleeves were, once I had them transferred.
About 250 of my albums are in plastic covers, and I'm thinking of doing that with the rest. It won't stop the chemical reaction, of course, but might contain that acidic
whiff better. I'd like to know if anybody else has had to deal with this dilemma and what solutions they came up with. Thanks for your responses.

An NSA air cleaner is cheaper and light years better. You can get a new one on Ebay for around $20 or 30. They employ a carbon filter and remove many more contaminants than the Sharper Image machine.

I use them at home and at work since my wife is very susceptible to allergies. Gross anatomy required two years of standing over a formaldahyde soaked corpse. Her immune system has suffered from that, and the air cleaners work wonders.
