The Mold Sense

[Guest guest]

Can we talk about the mold sense vs. the chemical sense? For those of

you who now have MCS after your exposure, how can you tell the

difference between molds/chemical exposure?

I had this exact feeling in my sick building:

1. Skin itching that later can become burning.

This also usually becomes burning after a while. I first sense this on

the left part of my body, even if the whole body was equally exposed.

I felt like the left side of my body was being radiated. Wonder why?

Can't some chemicals cause this burning sensation as well?

For me number two happens with chemicals. I can be sitting in my car

four lanes away from the edge of a water park and being to get the

nausea from the chlorine.

2. The first sensation is usually accompanied with a sensation of

slight nausea. I can feel as if I am inhaling certain particles

like a kind of vapor that burns the lungs and stomach inside.

I seem to get number 3 with molds and chemicals

3. After about 10 minutes I usually get my first GI tract symptoms

that in the previous years almost always came down to loose and

frequent stools and the constant nauseated feeling.

Seems like if I stay for too long in moldy/chemical area I get #4

4 Neurological problems and I can't sleep well, or don't feel

refreshed after sleep.

Is there any real way to know when one is exposed to only molds or

only chemicals?
