Listspub,cross contamination vs. chemical exposures,

[Guest guest]

I wouldn't be near as worried about cross contamination.

I would be a whole lot more worried about getting there and haveing all those

chemical fumes from remoldeling run me right back out the door. not long after

my exposure I looked at a newly remolded apartment, well actually I didn't look

at it at all, because when I opened the door the offgassing of chemicals about

landed me on my ass.

no possable way in hell I could have stayed there, I couldn't even stand there

with the door open and look at it.

see what I'm saying?

this illness and new things that are still offgassing chemicals do not get

along.

you said your laundry room made you sick, I cant go to a laundry mat because

they make me sick, it's not because of mold contamination, it's because of

chemicals,fumes, and I'm talking about laundry deturgents and drier sheets,

fabric softners,ect.

I cant stand being around people that wear cloths washed with scented

deturgents, than they put on purfume or colone too and it's horrable.

what most dont understand is that once you've been injured by WATER DAMAGED

BUILDING EXPOSURE, which has many toxins/chemical mixtures

involved, theres just going to be many toxins/chemicals and mixtures of

chemicals that your not going to be able to tolerate.

I hope you can live there, but felt that you needed to be prepared

to ascept that it may take many months after remoldeling before you can. many

with this illness have to build homes useing green, or all chemical free

products or they find they cant live in the house they just built. same goes

with remoldeling.

you got to know that even airing a place out is not going to stop things that

are still offgassing from offgassing.

you have to know that trying to live in a remolded home if there are things

still offgassing is a exposure itself and with chronic exposure thats going to

hurt you, not help you.

dont mean to cause you more stress, I just know that alot of people dont get

this and it sets them up for more suffering.

I would never had relized this right after my exposure if I hadn't of gotten

slammed by opening the door of that apartment that I went to look at. but, you

have to realize that even if the offgassing is milder than this situation was,

liveing with chronic exposure, even at a lower dose is going to at the

least,make you miserable.

best of luck to you, and hope you dont have any problems with this at all.

be careful.

hardwoods. Still will be smells since they are using flooring that is not

prefinished... I am very fortunate this house was available. Hope it tests well.

Thank you.
