Allergy for 5 months

I moved 5 months ago to an apartment in Charlotte NC that is located right by standing water pipes that they never cleaned like they said they will ever since I moved.

I'm 22 years old man smoker(6ye) and marihuana consumer(1-2ye) daily. I have a dog for almost a year but I have been around dogs in my life before.

I sneeze all the time soon as I enter my apartment I can feel my face reacting to something, like a weird feeling. When I smoke a lot of marihuana I sneeze more. So I always have to use a tissue. Sometimes I can go out to work for hours and feel better but every time I come back I start to feel the symptoms again stronger.

So all of it started 5 months ago when I started to use tissue here and there then it got worst and now it's all stable:

short breathing( because of stuffy blocked nose that I can't breath from-nasal congestion or maybe it's because of the allergy. This one started lately, important to mention that I have a lot of stress in my life and very confused at the moment-i drastically smoke less of both in the last week and still have the short breathing and sneezing and nasal congestion in a part of the day.

I'm definitely confused, found bug or mosquito bite in the back part of my upper leg, like a dark red dot that is in the base of a hair and like a bruise all around it. I work and might didn't notice and got an actually bruise-but I don't think so, I felt it since yesterday it was like a inside pain whenever I pushed on my skin 3 days ago then today turned like bruise.

Bug/mosquito bites carry deaseses,

Allergy to my dog,

Allergy to something else in my apartment,

Allergy to marihuana or this and smoke just make my allergy worst- I smoke for longer time then since it started?

I don't know if I'm just paranoid but I feel like I get hurt and bleed easily when I work lately(I work with my hands for years..)

Will appreciate any comment

    If I'm understanding you, you just moved into this place and that's when your allergy started?

    There is a very realistic possibility that where you moved into had a previous roach problem that had been resolved but now there are dead roach carcasses in the walls and voids and other places that are impossible to get to. In a heavy infestation that has been resolved you can have millions of dead cockroaches that will cause asthma or allergy attacks in a major of people.

    I am a pest control business owner and prior to my injury I did the pest control work. So I know what I'm talking about.

    I agree with amkoffee about the roaches. If I  was you, I would leave that appartment ASAP!
