i think my vaccum trying to kill me( or at least trigger a major asthma attack)

So i had a robot vaccum for a few months now and i thought its a game changer- let it run and bam clean floor with zero efforts but overtime i started noticing something odd. Everytime i ran it , I’d feel like I was drowning in dust. And, no, I’m not exaggerating. My asthma and allergies started flaring up worse than they had in months.

i did some digging and found that these vaccums even fancy ones – tend to stir up PM2.5 particles. For those of us with respiratory issues, this is a nightmare. They don't get everything sucked into their filters. These tiny particles just float back into the air and mess with your lungs. I thought I was doing something good for my health by cleaning more frequently, but instead, I'm just inhaling a cocktail of dust mites and pollutants.

honestly it feels like i am living in a dusty environment I know I’m not the only one, though. I’ve seen similar complaints here and there, but no real solutions. Does anyone else feel like the vacuuming is making your allergies worse? How do you cope with this if you’re stuck with indoor air pollution but also need your floors cleaned? I just need some advice before I toss this thing out the window.
