Question from john walker
Hi Debra, i suffer from MCS, i figured this out about 3 years ago after being exposed to a newly renovated building my employer moved into down the street from our old building. as each year goes by i find out about new things that flare up my symptoms. This June my mother-in-law sprayed ant/roach indoor spray as we had some minor ant problems in 3 rooms in my small cape. i become ill when i go into these rooms so i have been avoiding them. i have tried several safe cleaners but one room still is horrible. about 3 weeks ago i found some relief in 2 of the rooms however, since ragweed season is here i cannot go back into these rooms. i have 3 boys and they are all over the house i cannot avoid these rooms all of the time. i am miserable and i have severe moods swings… i get impatient.
any suggestions? how can i eliminate the pesticides?
thanks

Debra’s Answer
Pesticides are very difficult to remove.
I have had some success in the past by contacting the manufacturer of the pesticide and asking them how to “clean up” the pesticide if it is spilled. One of my clients did this, found out she could clean it up with chlorine bleach, and it worked! No residue of the pesticide or the bleach remained.
