Exactly. This stuff off-gassing from carpet, and a brief pesticide exposure,

are what sent my daughter into full-blown MCS, to the point of being

homebound. Standard carpet really is nasty stuff, extremely dangerous; few

people

really understand how much so.

Please Note:

You must look for the MSDS sheets on all purportedly 'safe'

products. Just because they are less toxic than many of the

conventional materials sold, does NOT mean they are safe in and of

themselves. In order to seal a carpet, you will be applying

chemicals. I personally can't tolerate 'lock-out' carpet sealer by

AFM/Safe choice. It doesn't mean you won't benefit from using it

but it does mean that it may challenge your system whether or not

you find the odor detectable, offensive or don't overtly have a

reaction at all.

With many additives to products these days which mask odors, it is

often not possible to use your sense of smell to determine safety.

Did you know the EPA has a listing of 1500 fragrance chemicals that

pesticide companies add to pesticides to hide their smell?

Claims of safety also don't take allergies into consideration.

Caveat emptor. Look at the chemistry, not at the salesmanship

employed.

I can relate. I hope you and your daughter are both out of the place

with the toxic carpeting. You will get better if you are.

Thanks. She is being homeschooled and I rarely take her to indoor

public/private places, so as to not further expose her. Just taking it one day

at a

time. Clair

Does anyone know if there is a carpet that we can use. I have any elderly

mother who lives with us. Our basement stairs are carpeted but it really needs

to be redone. I have put it off and really don't want to leave them bare in

case of a fall. Is there a carpet that is odor/chemical free?
