Hi everyone.
A little background: A few years ago I got quite sick from a black mould exposure. Typical stuff: MCS, food allergies, lots weird immune things and neurological issues, candida, some kind of bacterial infection. I still struggle, but I've seen a lot of improvement as well.
Anyway, I moved into a new apartment. I'd previously gotten rid of most of my stuff that was in the mouldy place, except for a few of my favourite belongings--mostly guitars, amps, stereo stuff. I thought maybe I could tolerate them. Turns out no. Oops! I had a pretty serious reaction: uncontrollable anxiety, confusion, burning etc. I wrapped everything in heavy duty shrink wrap (the kind you wrap skids in) and have been selling off things since. My symptoms are more or less down to what they were before. The more I get rid of the larger items (a desk, some big speaker towers, the guitar cases--not yet the guitars), the better I feel. Now I don't feel the guitars affecting me too much (I think being protected by thick laquer helps), though I'm sure they are to at least some degree, that it's just hard to measure. I'd really like to keep a few of these things. There's a couple guitars I have a pretty long and deep connection with. I'm hoping if I get rid of everything else, I'll be able to tolerate a couple things.
Has anybody tried putting their things in an ozone machine? They use them for sports equipment and things like that. It kills anything living, but I'm not sure what it would do for any residual toxicity.
Thoughts?
