Guest guest Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Anya, Run, don't walk to the store, and get yourself some non-toxic Oxyclean! It really works just like you see on the infomercials, and no fumes! :-) Debbie deb Look! Healthy baby products http://www.bodyhealthcenter.com/products/bhc/bhbaby.shtml Me? <sigh> I'm suffering from my own chemically-induced problems right now. The other day, in a spell of bad judgment, I decided to pour some straight bleach into the bathtub I was scrubbing. I had the window open, the overhead fan on, and I only scrubbed, leaning over the tub (head in the fumes) for about two minutes, but WOW, am I suffering. I immediately sniffed some water up my nose, drank water, tried to clear the chlorine smell out of my head passages. No luck. Lingered for hours. Then, just walking in the house, as I breathed in, I felt a sharp jab in my sinuses. I guess I sniffed in a dust mote or pollen bit or something, and since my surface cells were already damaged by the chlorine, that 'intruder' took root. My head congestion is awful. I'm careful about inhaling any EOs to help, since, unlike having a 'bug' or flu, or something, I mechanically damaged a lot of surface cells, and the EOs could aggravte them further I'm just drinking lots of fluids, sneezing a lot, sniffing some E. globulus on a tissue (sparingly) and riding it out. I feel *so* dumb. The bleach wasn't even necessary, but I'm a bit of a clean freak, and some stains in the worn porcelain part of the tub were bothering me. I hereby make a vow to be a bit dirtier but healthier :-) PS I've lost my sense of smell and taste temporarily, which is a real bummer.http://member.newsguy.com/~herblady © How To Make Rose Petal Jam - Step By Step Instructions http://www.av-at.com/stuff/rosejam.html To Un send a blank e-mail to: - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
