    Chemicals in the carpet maybe, check for possible mold from moisture ! Have it tested!!!

    You also need to contact an allergist and have some tests done. Sick building syndrome could be a possibility, off gassing of the glues used to build the mobile home can cause people the symptoms you are describing. Do the symptoms improve when you take an antihistamine? You need to open the windows and get more ventilation. I know it is hard in the winter. You also have to check for mold if it is an older home. If things don't get better sell that mobile home and move to an older clean apartment! Best of luck!

    If you just moved in, then there could be some sort of mold spore. In my old apartment, we had a bad leak, and got mold behind the dryer that we didn't even see...it was in the wall. It made thw two of us really sick, mostly with cold like symptoms.

    You guys should stay with friends or family for a week and then go back home. See if you clear and then get sick again. Some offgassing of certain chemicals can make you sick. Google sick building syndrome - check it out it is worth it. Good Luck

    Mobile homes, especially new ones, do a lot of off-gassing from chemicals like formaldehyde which can cause numerous symptoms - including the ones you mention. You'll want to be sure to keep fresh air circulating in your mobile home continuously, and may want to invest in one of those ionic air cleaners to help with air quality.

    It is most likely the MOLD and yes you can get very sick from it.

    Go somewhere else until he mold is removed properly.I have seen many people very ill form mold.

    Chemicals used in the flooring and carpet can cause this. Especially the subflooring.
