Guest guest Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I'm not a Dr. but there is no doubt in my mind why they are sick!!! From what I have learned over the years basements are NOT for living and should never be carpeted or covered in any way. >> I have two people who have gotten sick living in finished basements. The only two people I know who lived in finished basements. One I mentioned here a year ago or so, lost his mind. At the same time, his mother who he was living with temporarily and who lived upstairs, went in to a nursing home at same time he did, mother and son from this neat, clean looking little home she had bought about 5 years before that but had a completely finished basement, fully carpeted. Now a good friend of mine from school who is temporarily staying in someone's finished basement has gotten very sick and her doctor told her if her fever stays up to go to hospital. I mentioned to her finished basement issue but lightly as I don't have ANY information on anything, just simply that it is finished, carpeted basement and she hardly ever gets sick. I just got news today on how sick she is. She had signs of an infection and doctor put her on Bactrim and prednisone. Now she is REALLY s ick and running a fever. (i.e. so probably fungal infection as prednisone makes fungal infections worse), but I doubt she will listen to me. Her father was a doctor (and I was an art major) and she's a total believer that they know what they are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I'm so sorry. Try giving some info for them to read. Write a letter with it explaining you're not trying to overwhelm them, that you care. Kathy From: ssr3351@... <ssr3351@...> Subject: Re: [] two people who lived in finished basements. so far, both...
