Joey,
The problem is that if the room has allergens they will get sucked into the CPAP and then redirected into my nose and sinuses.
This is one of the reasons why I am so sick. I must sterilize not just the CPAP equipment but everything that surrounds it. Regettably I only just realized this after suffering so much with infections and going on antibiotics and prednisone which ruined my stomach linning.
The doctors told me almost nothing. I got much more from this forum thank GOD.
