For me-it's not always mold

August 20, 2010

I don't what weakened me into illness - mold, pesticides, herbicides, dental

work, or art supplies. All are on my avoidance list. Yesterday I donned a mask &

gloves to remove rust from my kitchen sink while it was outside. The stuff

hardly had a smell. Plywood went up in my kitchen & the sink went in & ...I

spent the night in my vehicle. I had severe neck pain in the kitchen & after not

eating much I just had to make something - which was disaster after disaster I

was in such a fog. I then reacted to the living room - it contained nothing new

except a can of screws.. which I put outside. I could SEE the air, especially in

the kitchen- happened when a plumbing vent clogged in another place too & when I

first got MCS & turned on the computer. It had to be the wood or the sink. I

sealed the sink & got slightly better. This morning I asked my contractor to

take the sink out again before he went to work. I spent the day alternating

spraying & wiping it with vodka, vinegar & Bi-O-Kleen Bac Out. About 2 quarts of

vodka in a mist bottle above it & a pint of vinegar in a trigger point sprayer

it's back in the house & much better. This is the second time it's been out -

the first time I hosed it down (it's metal) with Bi-O-Kleen All Purpose & still

couldn't get the fragrance out. When I first got sick I felt like I was going to

black out on a cell phone or cordless phone. After long exposure to a neighbors

chemical logs in their fireplace I was so EMF'd I couldn't talk on a landline or

keep my stereo plugged in even. I reacted to the bedroom with hyperness - the

electric box outside was against the bedroom wall. A friend gets piercing

headaches from EMF's - being on the phone or watching a movie on TV... & then

severe depression. Another feels her heart will give out one day from EMF's.

I don't know how much all this applies to any of you trying to pinpoint what

(where is the mold) in your house is making you sick. For me it can be as simple

as a new set of plastic hangers, a new pad of paper or the sun shining on an OLD

plastic item.
