Hi Barb: using the employees' bathroom is not a suitable solution for us. My

daughter and I are both CI and there are strong, chemical smells in the area

in which the employees' bathroom is located; it is adjacent to the meat

department, which " by law has to " use bleach and surface disinfectants and they

smell awful and are dangerous to us. My instinct is to stay away from caustic

chemical smells. Thanks for your advice, Clair

Side point - I think they are complying with ADA issues by allowing

you access to the alternate, employee's bathroom. Is this

unsatisfactory in some way? You would need to explain why if you are

considering calling in any complaints on this basis.

Thanks for your advice. The local health department won't deal with this but

they did refer me to the state's department of the environment; it's a place

to start. In my mind, this is a =public= health issue as no one should be

breathing the stuff, my theory being that if you can smell the mold, you are

already breathing the spores! Regards, Clair
