Chemicals

[Guest guest]

I never actually thought about mold giving off VOC's. I know about the

chemicals. On the other hand I got caught up with just looking for mold

and forgot about my chemicals. I live in a mobile home and I have no

outside storage, which I should have built aplace. I close my bedroom

door at night and when I first open my bedroom door, I was noticing a

strong odor. My utility room is right off of the hallway leading from

my bedroom to the kitchen. Above the washer and dryer is a shelf where

I had about 20 different bottles of chemicals! I put all of them

outside two days ago and I know longer smell that odor and I know I

lessened my total load and I think I feel a slightly better. I wanted

to post this to those other new ones having trouble living in their

habitat. I also can see other area's which could be putting off

something which may be adding to my body's not feeling well.

I was wondering if others noticed as another list member and I did when

I went to Dr Rea's web site and saw that one of his " safe houses " had

aluminum foil on an entire wall. she mentioned it but no one responded.

I have been told that putting our things in plastic bad will stop cross-

contimination so I do that religiously but since Dr Rea is using

aluminm foil to stop mold spore from getting into a room, that makes me

think that aluminum foil can be used? I am not aware where I can buy

rolls of foil other than the 36 " ones at grocery stores.

also bought a mask good for keeping out mold spores and I especially

wear it when using my computer. I blew out my computer and other things

but I can still tell this is one of my largest output of mold spores. I

think my TV is somewhat so I don't leave it on except the time I am

watching it. I noticed that Dr Rea suggested that TV's be put in a box

outside of the house so it does not add to the pollution of the house.

It was hard to tell but it looked like he had it hanging out a window

like the window a/c's but not sure.

I know that most of this is old news for the long-time members but new

to me and maybe some of the other new members.
