Can Fish Tanks Make People Sick?

[bluetangyellow]

I have a 15g nano setup in my bedroom, but it doesn't have any livestock at the moment, so it's just been sitting there the past couple of weeks. Lately, I've been getting a runny nose, itchy throat, etc. spending time in my room, so my thoughts are either the mattress or possibly the fish tank. I've dusted my entire room and changed/washed the bedding. Is it possible for a fish tank to make me sick?

I agree there

Do you mix the salt in your room? You may have a reaction if the dust from the salt is in the air. That would only happen when you pour it into the water though. It settles quite quickly.
