I have not read this book but you can find a review of it at amazon.com. It

deals with allergies and chemical sensitivities to various sources in one's

home. It got very good reviews. Betsy

I would highly recommend Jeff May's book.

I got it and read it almost within a few days.

There is a lot of information that was absolutely new to me, and to most folks, I would think.

To me he is an expert, and has obviously seen a lot.What I also found fascinating is that in certain sections it reads like a detective story--with Jeff May as the detective--tracking down the causes of many household situations where others would have given up.

This is a very valuable book, that informs you about every nook and cranny of your house that could possibly be causing you concern.

P.S.---This was unsolicited, and I'm not related to Jeff May--but find his expertise comforting in an industry where one really has to be careful with consultants and vendors.
