Guest guest Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I have been gagging out here in this el paso trailer park all summer, don't know weather it's the mulberry trees, the moldy trailers next to me, my having to go into my moldy trailer for food, etc. or some combination of all of these things. But since the weather has cooled I have been able to run a large hepa filter in my truck camper and a mid size one in my car. (This is how I started, I put the filter in the car and slept in it the thought being 8 hours under my belt of no exposure. I woke up feeling great and progressively got worse as the day wore on. So I supplemented this with a filter in my truck camper and wearing a respirator ANY time I ventured out. While they NEVER worked in my house or my trailer they have helped reduce my symptoms drastically in the truck camper and my car. When I go into the trailer or even outside I wear a respirator and try to keep myself protected 24 hours. My thinking why I have had the outstanding success with them here but never in the past is because the car and the truck camper (home made) are relativity mold free and very small with large hepa filters in them. So it is a type of BRUTE FORCE approach where I am getting multiple air changes every minute combined with a relatively clean environment to start with. I recently went to my dad's house in NC which I lived at for 9 months and it figuratively almost killed me. I did very well by using this method of avoidance (just last month). Went to walmart bought a $37 9x7 dome shaped tent. (nylon low voc, no stakes needed poles will support it with no wind.) I sat it up on the porch and used a large honeywell hepa filter that probably changed the air out 4 or 5 times a minute. I did very well there even split a truck load of wood for my dad which I couldn't do when I lived there before because of the overwhelming symptoms. Just thought I would share this with those that are still suffering and those on this list that deal with these people everyday. Also hope someone will try it and verify what I am saying and maybe pass it on to sick buildings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
