I feel so sick in the house,but since no one else has problems they just disregard me.I hate them for being so stupid and uncaring. " We live in a toxic world.Get over it " ,is what they tell me.GRRH!

We didn't know how bad carpet was until we had our entire upstairs newly recarpeted. I've been sick over it ever since. We had beautiful hardwood floors that we could have refinished instead. But here are some companies that I got from Mothers And Others For A Livable Planet Guide To Natural Baby Care. Be aware though that these carpets and backings/pads are very expensive compared to the regular stuff. Some are non-toxic, some are low toxic. Good luck.
