Question from Michael
I have a toxic brain injury and I just moved into
a condo and it has natural gas heat. I turned it on and got so sick we could not get my pulse down.
I react to mostly hydrocarbons and toluene very bad. I have a Gaba / glutamate receptor
Damage.
I have a 800 sq foot condo and I’m trying to figure out how to heat it now. I’m in the Midwest and it gets cold.
I read all about space heaters for large rooms and I also read Debras recommendations.
My choice were between a
1) wood base edenpure infrared with metal inside.
2) Penoris oil filled radiator
I tried plastic heaters and they give off odors that make me sick.
I was worried about the oil filled radiator leaking or possibly off gassing because petroleum is the end of me and I go to the ER room.
I was also concerned about the wood base around the eden pure because I react to paint
And chemicals new wood finishes. But I’m more scared of oil.
Do you have any suggestions? Winter is coming and I’m stuck. I was looking for used oil heaters off eBay that may have been off gassed. As for the Eden pure I would buy that new.
I too am hyper-sensitive to fuel-burning appliances of any kind or any offgassing for that matter, but I’ve done well with inexpensive, metal utility heaters that you can get at home improvement stores and sometimes Walmart. We also have a Dyson air purifier with heat function that I’ve had no issue with.
Try the De Longhi portable radiator. The oil is sealed. It’s made of metal. On Amazon. I’ve had one for 20 years.
