One of many questions

[Guest guest]

Sorry to bother you guys/gals so much but I have so many questions to ask and I

dont want to keep bothering the same people who have already been more than

generous with their time.

As many of you know something in the master bedroom is bothering me, my thoughts

are it's my g/f's clothes that were coincidentally in my contaminated condo but

have been washed in borax dozens times since than.

If we get rid of all her clothes would that help with my symptoms or would it be

to late because the spores have already contaminated the rest of the area?

When does cross contamination cease to be an issue? Sooner or later you would

think that they've spread as much as they can and can no longer be transfered

from one object to another.

Perhaps the bedroom problem is not mold at all. I suspect you are like me and

many others on the sickbuilding site: our problem started with mold, and

progressed into other sensitivities, MCS perhaps. I recently had an interesting

experience with my wife's cosmetics. She had been using an old bottle of pump

hair spray, which caused me no problems. She bought a new bottle. After she used

it the first time I reacted. That night we went to bed. I couldn't sleep with

her, and went to the guest room. The next morning, I tried our bed, and was fine

until I got to her pillow. She washed her hair and the pillowcase, and stopped

using the brand new hair spray, and I was fine again. Incidentally, the new hair

spray of the same brand, in a similarly appearing bottle, was labeled

" professional grade " , and listed some different ingredients. The regular formula

is no longer available.

I suggest you wash all linens and blankets, and have your girlfriend do the

unthinkable, stop using all cosmetics for a week, except the same soap, shampoo,

and deodorant you use which you know cause no problems. Then resume one cosmetic

at a time to see if one of them causes a reaction. Any soap, fragrance, shampoo,

conditioner, hair spray, and even deodorant can be suspect, the deodorants

either rollon, stick, or aerosol; hair sprays either pump or aerosol.
