[IMMUNE] Formaldehyde

[Laura X -G4-]

How would we know if the wood products in our=20
home (read: kitchen) contain these high levels of=20
formaldehyde?

--c

i can say that i am desperately allergic to=20
formaldehyde, that embalming fluid that made me=20
ill at vassar in the vats in physiology class=20
with the floating brains!

it appears in plywood, pressure treated wood, particle board

,. and in fabric softener and sizing

and imported beer!

and many other places.

there are acceptable ( not to me) levels of the f=20
word, which have to be labeled as such, as far as=20
wood is concerned.

i am sending this out, with you and R stripped of=20
names, to get an answer to your question.

thank you R, for posting this!

Put your nose into a cupboard that has been closed
for a week, and inhale deeply... if you merely
sense something is wrong, then you have it.

It should make the nose feel uncomfortable
and your lungs should feel like exhaling fast,
and you should feel like you do not want to
hold that breath in.

If you have a little money to spend, you can test your home. There are home
test kits which can then be sent to a lab ( I did it in my home) to find
out if you are not an owner and free to just get rid of problems that your
body has told you are not good for you. The science is well established
and we don't have to guess at it anymore.
