65. toxic injury

Thanks Aikido Soul - I moved to the country - the high desert of NM (I have 40 acres of cedar, pine and cactus) and my boyfriend helped me build an environmentally safe house. It's framed with pine instead of pressed wood. We used only solvent free paint and products. Maybe one car goes by a day- no exhaust pollutants. I eat organically, grow some of my own food, raise chickens that eat only organic food and take no prescription meds. I take lots of vitamins and OMG! "homeopathics". Also, I am lucky that my few neighbors are like minded people when it comes to toxic chemicals and pesticides.

When I lived in Albuquerque, I belonged to a MCS group and I seem to be doing better than most. I think my clean living has paid off big time for me. 95% of the group believed their MCS to be pesticide related.

You were right when you mentioned how Malathion was stored determined the toxicity of it. When I spoke with the city of Albuquerque worker who sprayed the Malathion, he told me he had run out of Pyrethroids and found this old Malathion in the corner of the shed.

I have many MSC friends -some are very sick and totally homebound. I was totally homebound for a yr so I know how hard it can be - relying on friends to get your groceries and run your errands. I could not even get a hug from my boyfriend, as any scent on him with trigger my airways to close. I would say I have recovered about 90% which is unusual in the MCS community.
