Guest guest Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I really appreciate all of your input. This message board is a god send. Thanks! From: barb1283@...

If you can't tolerate, maybe a friend can do it, to wash things or wipe things down with, or spray/mist item with. You could try it and see if you don't react to item. He did research with tricothecenes. It may be that different toxins are neutralized by different substances. Have copies made of pictures and seal important documents in plastic. > > I am finally getting ready to move out of my place and am stressing out. I am finding it so hard to let go of my things.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I agree with wendy on this one. I will add though, after sealing them up in double bags, dont store them in your new home, not in any living area anyway. More importantly, never open them up to get anything anywhere near your new living place. the microtoxins will disperse as soon as a bag is opened. Plus when I did this outside I instantly could tell it was still on the papers because my hands and arms began to itch again and my nose began to run. so keep that in mind. Just remember the nonsence you are going through now and decide wether or not doing it all over again is worth whatever it is that seems hard to part with. That should clear any hard feelings right up. Good luck in your new place. Chris...

Thank you. > A mold researcher recommends wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) including disposable Tyvek suits, gloves, respirator, eye goggles or safety glasses, and using cotton balls to plug and protect the ear canal are reasonable measures to take when cleaning or removing mold. The best way to know what level of protection you should take is to have appropriate sampling conducted by a professional. Beware of outdated advice found in some books and websites about toxic mold. An example, " Many of the areas will be relatively small...and you can disinfect the area with bleach. " Using bleach or is not only bad advice, it can make the problem much worse.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Faye, good advise about the protective wear. Do you have any information you can link here to scientific info on essential oils? I have been impressed with the strength of essential oils. They have strong anti inflamatory action internally. >> > > The good news is that there is scientific evidence that proves that a safe, non-toxic proprietary blend of therapeutic grade essential oils destroys toxic mold and keeps it from coming back.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 , It really depends on your sensitivities, a friend took a framed picture I loved and had it reframed, I was so excited to have it again,unfortunately when she handed it back to me I had an immediate reaction. It doesn't matter if you can see it or not, the mycotoxins that have made you so ill are microscopic (at least that is what our hygeniest told me) please correct me someone if I am wrong-I am no scientist!! Paper is especially bad as well as fabric-so *even if you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there*. I would be very cautious about keeing any blankets etc, bleach and vinegar don't kill the toxins.
