High-Powered Allergen Filter - CHEAP!

In this Instructable, I will be showing you how to take a regular $15 box fan and use it to dramatically reduce your allergen intake.

Prior to using this upgrade, I was a lifelong TERRIBLE allergy sufferer.
Dust, dander, pollen, mold, mites... you name it.
I was at the level of needing monthly allergen shots, and still had to take antihistamines daily. Even still, I'd randomly go into sneezy, eye watering, itching, uncomfortable and embarrassing fits throughout the day.

I have been using this setup for about 6 months now, and have not had to take ANY medicines.
I have not had an allergy attack in about 6 months.

If you, your kids, a family member or a friend suffers from severe allergies, TAKE MY WORD, try this upgrade!

It makes for a great night-time white noise, and sleeping in an allergen free room significantly reduces the symptoms you'll experience during the day!

This is EXTREMELY SIMPLE, and relatively inexpensive. (approx $30)

After the upgrade, you shouldn't notice a marked difference in airflow. I don't at least. In any case, the payoff of not having allergy attacks far outweighs any loss of airflow strength.

Again, this is so simple, and the payoff is huge!!!

Now you simply tape the filter to the back of the fan.
Place as much or as little tape as required/ desired.
