If your wood is red cedar, it probably is fungal-, mold- and insect-resistant. Red cedar grows in coastal forests and is even the wood often used in saunas and steam rooms.
However, if you're congested and your throat hurts, I wonder if you might be allergic to cedar?
Are these the same symptoms you had in your old house, or are they different?
Here's a very good page on mold and on how to find it if it's there:

Does this help at all? Have you had any allergies before? If you take an antihistimine before bedtime (Benydryl, for instance), does it help?
