At the time I was putting my stuff in storage and bailing out of my house, virtually everyone was telling me that this was impossible. From Dr Johannings office to Dr , Dr Rosenbaum to any of the dozens of mycologists, toxicologists and allergists that I contacted. So I didn't see any point in solving a problem " That doesn't exist " for others who don't have it and are basically calling me a liar about its very existence. I sold my house too. Said it was moldy but since no one else on Earth has this problem, it was a non issue. Dr Marinkovich had a vague understanding that something was going on but offered no practical advice on cross contamination. I was the one who told HIM about mycotoxins penetrating walls without the presence of spores. So I was pretty much on my own trying to figure out what to do. I know that when your stuff is killing you, there is an emotional component of distress that directs you to trash everything you've got. It seems hard to believe that anything which could hurt you so much might someday be OK, but that's how it was for my stuff in storage. And if it doesn't hurt me, it sure isn't likely to have an effect on anyone else. I got my stuff out of storage and see no need to remediate the storage facility. Before people dump all their stuff, maybe it might be a good idea to get a census of people who have been through this and learned to avoid and decontaminate years ago and see how they feel about their possessions. I've already talked to many such people and I find that, similar to my experience, they feel that many items settled down on their own after a number of years. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
