Is Your Washing Machine Making You Sick?

I read today that, because mold and bacteria flourish where a wet area is found, your washing machine can be the source of your allergy eyes, runny nose, or even asthma attack. Because your washing machine stays wet for awhile while it's not in use, bacteria and mold might be having a party in there.  To prevent these things from growing inside your machine, and in turn, on your clothes, make sure to keep the lid open after use...just long enough for the inside to dry.
