Cross contamination

[Guest guest]

Hi all, once somethibg has been cross contaminated, ie bedding is it all over

for the whole dwelling? Is it possible to wash such items and decontaminate

them? Have had apillow for 3 weeks and last night was getting scratchy throat

and irritated eyes and nasal passage as if breathing mold in. Nothing else has

changed eg clothes worn to bed, new shampoo or any other products in the room.

Thoughts?

I get my bedding and pillows from National Allergy. They work for me

anywasys.

I have hear of people cross contaminating an apt with just one object, but

most of the time, no. I would remove the pillow to outdoors, wash the

bedding and clean the room, some people use a small blanket stuffed into a

pillow case, because it can be washed, and a pillow cant. Right on your face,

has to be real clean. I find a good pillow, and put a waterproof cover on it

so I can wipe it down when I wash the outer cover, course I buy cheap

pillows because I alway seem to get them contaminated somehow.

Lets see, I stayed in at my sisters house for almost 2 weeks, no relief. I

stayed in one hotel room for another 2 weeks and actually felt worst (water

damage in bathroom). I changed hotels and have moved twice within the past week

and half and the room Im in without a doubt is the best room so far

Robin, a year ago after my first exposure I posted about moving to 3 different

hotel rooms within a month and not getting any relief. I cant remember who it

was but one of the other members sent me an email and suggested the possibility

of my body off gassing and that could be why I haven't started feeling better. I

dont know if its possible for your body to off gas but at the time it did make

sense.

Two weeks ago my Dr switched me from Sporanox to Diflucan for a month. I am no

longer taking CSM due to finances and use the ketoconazole nasal spray on a need

be basis again due to finances.

Smart move, Tug. I do have a supportive family and part of that I pay a price

for in a sense.. cant control their every move. Have to let go and make the best

of the situation. I would love to have been able to find a place in the desert

but there is no way. If my health went downhill or I dont improve here at all,

then I know they will support me to move again, but the price is so high. The

guilt of putting them in that position.. the cost of moving a family yet again..

the uprooting of a family... there is no perfect situation for sure.

> I can relate to where your coming from Robin as far as not being able to move

but sometimes moving isnt always the answer. First the first time since April I

feel Im in a safe place but its only temporary and living in this hotel is a

short term solution to a long term problem. Sooner or later Im going to have

move to an apartment as this hotel as nice and as safe as it is, is just a

little to expensive for me.

you need but I sit here in this hotel alone and worried about what tomorrow will

bring. Other then the clerk at the grocery store I cant remember the last time I

had an actual face to face conversation with someone and I cant much rely on my

family as they all believe this is in my head and Im some sort of nutcase. I've

always said that just because Im alone doesnt mean Im lonely but times have

changed, not only am I alone but Im lonely as well. Come Monday Im going to make

an appointment with a therapist going through this is alone is a little more

than I can handle.
