Guest guest Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Please tell me if I belong here or not. If not, I will certainly drop out. We hired a pest control company in Feb. 2003. They came here and sprayed our ranch inside and out every two months. I started getting sick and it just got worse and worse, until I finally figured it out. We had to get rid of our couch, drapes, have all the baseboards washed. I had to move out of the house for awhile. I ended up with coughing, mucous, gagging, vomiting, and extreme shortness of breath 24/7. I would lose breath just turning over in bed. I could not walk out to our horses, I had to drive. The poisoning aggravated a heart problem I have and injured my lungs. I have improved slightly over the years. But yesterday I ended up in ER with the heart problem. The dr. ordered a chest x-ray and said I had pulmonary edema due to smoking! I told him I have NEVER smoked. So then he discussed the pesticide issue. I have recently purchased a house air purifier, and am taking Vit. O, and a lot of other herbs and vit/min. I'm wondering if anyone on this site has had problems with a pest control company. I affectionately call my problem Orkinitis. Thanks for any information. Amber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Unfortunately, you are in the masses whenit comes to pesticide injury. Write steve@..., he was a former exterminator and now knows the damage this does to the body. Did they tell you that it was safe? As by federal law you can not say a pesticide is safe as its very design was meant to be toxic. What did they use?

An aged Walnut Grower in Sacramento just died of West Nile virus. The family said that he had worked with pesticides his entire life only to be felled by the mosquito borne virus. They urged that spraying to control mosquitoes be increased and opponents of pesticides should be ignored. So we've got the " I've drenched myself in toxins my whole life without harm " folks working against the " Toxins have destroyed my life " people. It's pretty plain that the unspoken feeling of society is: " If you drop from our wonderful chemicals, it's not from the chemical but from your own weakness and is YOUR problem. We are not going to allow your individual problem to interfere with the greater good derived from better living through chemistry " . - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
