I agree with you as far as trying to move and clean my stuff myself;

the masks I've tried haven't worked well enough according to my

standards. I thought about trying to rent a hazmat suit, but would

prefer someone else doing the work, and loading up the u-haul truck,

and never entering my house again. I'm pretty fed up with it all at

this point. I'm selling the house " as is " . Just want to put my

stuff in storage for the 2-5 years and get on with my life.

Sorry about the ozone question... New to the board. ) Actually

attended a class at an adult school given by an attorney who had

first hand experience with her home being contaminated by mold and

the 6 month remediation process that followed (covered by her

insurance due to a sudden leak), and the ozone worked for her

clothes. Do you think it's a difference in molds, spores. toxins? A

simple answer will suffice.

BTW: Really appreciate the support on this message board!!!! Will

definately contribute in some way to this situation once I get my

life stable again. Have already sent emails to my state legislators,

FEMA, as well as many others. I think this is a National Disaster

due to people losing their health, their homes, and their belongings,

with no support from their insurance companies or otherwise. Think

the government needs to step in and provide some type of interim

support until they can determine standards for testing, acceptable

levels, remediation, insurance, etc. Just my thoughts...

Thank you,

Jules
