It deoesn't bother me but my friends who have MCS and come over get ill with it. They use instead hydrogen peroxide to clean eith and it breaks down into water and 02.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Thanks for the tip, Angel. I was doing really well (health-wise) from mid-August through early October. On Oct 3rd, there was a hailstorm in my city and a few days later, I started having severe " allergy " symptoms around the computer desks area (where there are two huge windows). I wiped down the desks & other items with full-strength white vinegar, which did not help. Grapefruit seed extract mixed with water helps temporarily, maybe for 12 hours. I will try hydrogen peroxide. Anyone else have any suggestions. Someone I know mentioned propylene...anyone have any comments about this? > > > Date: Sat, 30 Oct 2004 08:45:52 -0400 > > From: " Page, " <pageang@l...> > > Reply- > > > > Cc: rpatel@d... > > Subject: [] Safe Hotels: A willig owner in Pocomoke > > > > > > This week I drove to see Dr. Shoemaker in land from my home in the > > Catskills of New YOrk.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 This is a bit far out there but then again so is this illness...but, I would attempt to put vaseline around the OUTER part of the window if you can get to it. The vaseline will *catch* any pollen, dust etc tht could come in thru the window. Then again you can *seal* wup the window with toothpaste as it will seal, no toxic offgassing and it it has floruide it will repel ants.
