Guest guest Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 Ok, Im new to the esxperience of living bound to a hepa machine in a safe room, and venturing out with car machines and masks. My current corner street home supplies plenty of automobile exhaust, dryer sheets and chimney ambiance. Im seriously considering moving, where I can be outside and actaully breathe without chimneys, dryers and automobles. My illness is from my library job, where after 13 years of a leaking roof and my several fainting spells, ongioing dizziness and random numbness they " renovated " the library then sent me in to replace the 13,000 books in order. After coughing, then loosing my voice, then breathing in gutsy involuntary gulps, I left school and am seeing dr shoemaker for nuerotoxic poisoning. Thats the great news. My question- My husband still works in the moist building and we are dealing with cross contamination issues. At the potential new home we have found, he can change in an outdoor shed and come in and shower - its very private. What are people s experience with moving? Will this work? What have people successfulling brought with them> How was it treated? Are only hard wood - tables, piano, when treated ok? And couches, and the one indian rug I'd miss - just in the " too bad " category? Whose done this? Sick librarian in Liberty (hoping to get liberated) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for remediaton and cross-contamination issues, all I can say is think everything through twice. As your husband is working in the same evnvironment, he would be introducing the exact same specie you became toxic to. IMHO, this is probably worse than general contamination from other environments. Decon procedures for him should be helpful, but if you read Joe Kleins site,(www.stachy.5u.com) he makes mention of hair being a major carrier. In any case, do you really want your husband to continue to be exposed as well? -- think of having both partners experiencing mycotoxicity for a logistical challenge. I failed at remediaton of belongings that included hardwood antiques. There is a lot of unfinished surface on that stuff -- insides of drawers, ect. Keep in mind that thes items were only cross-contaminated, as well -- I got them after moving from my initial exposure environment. Perhaps they wer not te culprit, but it's all in storage now. As for the couch and rugs, I had to say Too Bad to mine. I believe Carl Grimes also recently posted that levels of remediation are only relevant as to whether items continue to cause reactions for us, which is highly variable in terms of threshold.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 How about Lake Tahoe? Much prettier than Las Vegas. I don't know how the air would stack up but aren't they in a similar climate belt? --- In , Your Friend <yor1friend2@...> wrote: > > , > > My parents needed to move to a drier climate because they had arthritis.
