Home made insecticidal soap for chemical sensitive folks
Oh my, sorry to hear that you have this problem, I damaged my esophagus a year ago,
accidently breathing in exhaust fumes! You are going to have to go the natural way, using predators, like LadyBugs etc. Hope you find something. -- Cheers Wendy Remove PETERPAN for email reply mmccaws2 wrote: Hi Wendy7 It is lung tissue permeability to VOCs. So, depending upon the chemical, alcohol, aldehydes, benzenes, acetones etc, I will take on the symptoms as if exposed directly to a strong dose of that chemical. Symptoms like fatigue, head-aches, dizzy-ness, loss of balance, breathing restrictions. And depending on the exposure, and I'm talking about doses that people find annoying when a little old person slathers it on,lotion, perfume, or fabric spray, I've been bed-ridden for up to two full days and general discomfort afterwards. So, I have to find simple solutions like soap and oil, picking off the bugs, I really can't risk exposure to many of the things that people are suggesting. I too have a gas mask like that. I find that even wearing masks with new cartridges in painted rooms I start sensing significant levels after 15 minutes or so, and after that they're no good. Part of the problem is I can't always sense a harmful source till I start experiencing symptoms. Unfortunately, there is only one true method of preventing exposure to harmful chemicals and that is don't go into environments with harmful chemicals. |

Home made insecticidal soap for chemical sensitive folks
Looks like there are some active environmentalist in Alaska with the
same concerns. Here is one page that suggests using castille soap http://www.ipmofalaska.homestead.com/files/soap.html Thanks everyone. wendy7 wrote: Oh my, sorry to hear that you have this problem, I damaged my esophagus a year ago, accidently breathing in exhaust fumes!
