completely OT - asthma and ozone update
I am improving, blue lips are now only occasionally mottled throughout the
day, and I can think more clearly, am not so tired always, chest pains gone, breathing better, etc. Which air filter did I finally decide on? NONE!!! Yep. See, DH was out of town when I started to collapse and couldn't think straight, so I reached out to you. I was confused, and your well-meant and good advice was confusing to me. But someone, I don't remember who, just straight out said - Go turn that ozone machine off! So I did. I started to do better the next day. And the next. I went out for something, and when I came back I noticed something unique to my three years of living here. My house smelled very good. Well! hmmm........ So that bad smell was - you got it - the ozone! I almost went too far with it, because of ignorance and marketing, etc. Jack, please accept my apologies, I was literally not in my right mind. I couldn't hear what you were saying. My research since has scared me to death. The weather turned nice yesterday and I have the additional help of having the windows open for 24 hours now, and what a change. Oh my. Oh my. And as far as I can find, fresh air and time is the only antidote for overexposure to ozone gas. Fresh air, and good friends who will through you a life line. : ) Karen, Queen of Squishies working on the Starflake today! |

So glad you are feeling so much better. I know that when the weather turns
cooler I always open the windows and let the fresh air in. I feel a lot better then. Thanks for letting us know. Barbara in cooler 90 degree SC "Karen, Queen of Squishies wrote in message ...

wow, who knew.
i thot those ozone machines were supposed to clean the air. did you start feeling bad soon after you starting using it? does it have a filter of some kind? totally confuddled by them. iirc my mom used one in calif but she was very old and always ill so hard to know if it was that or just her. i'm ever so glad to hear you're on the mend now. you rest and take it slowly, eh. big hugz {{{{{{{{{{{{{{Karen}}}}}}}}}}}}} jeanne where living in the middle of the ocean keeps the air pretty clean, i hope "Karen, Queen of Squishies" wrote...

You're definitely out in the middle of the ocean where you are, Jeanne,
grin and those nice Antarctic "breezes" would keep the air nice and clean. That's darn good news, Karen, and the silly thing is, if you hadn't of reached such a low point, you may not of know that the air inside the house was building up with ozone gas....that's a bit scarey.

Karen, that was just so scary. I didn't climb in to the asthma / ozone
discussion since I don't know diddly about either - but it was clear enough that you were in big trouble. How wonderful that our 'wise in many things' group was quick and equipped to come to your rescue. I see that your asthma post was dated Aug 22nd - only 5 days ago. It seems to me that you will get better and better and for that we are profoundly grateful. Polly "Jack Campin - bogus address" wrote in message ...
