We are on the fourth set now in a few months. We tried a washable keyboard, but

it also gives me symptoms.

Are you absolutely sure its the keyboard and mouse? This is all so frustrating

we know something is making us ill but because were fighting something we cant

see and it tears down our immune system were not even sure if it's micotoxins or

chemicals that are causing the problems.

good point dave, and realize that all electronics are coated in chemical

fire retardants in this country, again to protect us against the

unlikely event of fire, just like with the mattresses, that chemical

coating slowly wears off, mixing in the air, the dust, etc.....as well

the keyboard mouse are plastic and probably offgas all by themselves a

bit, we are surrounded.... sue v

Do you think you could possibly be suffering from EMF? I thought my computer was

moldy and when I started having the same symptoms around televisions and

appliances , I made the connection. Just an idea before you go out and purchase

new things...experiment a little. Good luck~

I've done pretty good by basicly staying with older models and building my

computer out of older parts, haven't had to deal with new off gassing, however

there are sometimes my ears get to ringing and I get to felling bad, but I'm not

sure if this would be because of EMF

or just something else because I get these symptoms from other things too.

so far I've done pretty well by just getting certain family members to give me

their older computers when they get new ones and just exchange the older parts

in them for the newer but already offgassed parts, however theres still going to

be some tiny particle output that goes along with heat output, no way to avoid

that except not turn it on. I wonder if you contacted a computer repair store

and talked to them if they might build you a pretty decent computer with used

parts but still fairly new, might even get a good deal on one.

I ended up putting my keyboard in a plastic bag. I rationalized that a turkey

cooking bag should be a different & less stinky kind of plastic. I was right.

After a while the bag loses it's transparency from typing through it.
