I have a friend whom I affectionately call, Dumb Ass. “DA” for short.
Throughout our long years of friendship, I have casually observed her personal and professional successes and failures. I’ve cheered her ups and offered a shoulder on her downs. Anyway, she’s never disappointed me in living up to her designated name “Dumb Ass.” I shall explain….
For several years she continually suffered health issues commonly linked to mold poisoning; sinus infections, chronic fatigue, asthma, upper respiratory issues, etc.
On many occasions I insisted on checking her home. I know mold and she definitely had a mold issue. But being true to her name, she never accepted my offer.
Anyway, DA purchased a new home last year, deciding to lease her old toxic home. I recently inquired on her health since she’s been in her new home. Not one health issue she excitedly explained…which basically opened the door to me saying, “I TOLD YOU SO!”
Lo and behold, she called me a few days later telling me the ceiling in her former home caved leaving a huge gaping hole where she spotted black mold. A plumber confirmed a slow drip in the attic that finally wore through the ceiling. The slow drip was years in the making.
Several years ago, the EPA coined a new term, “Toxic Home Syndrome.” They claimed indoor air was 200 times more polluted that outdoor air. Dust, Dust Mites, off-gassing of toxic volatile organic compounds, room deodorizers, air fresheners, my mom’s cooking, and many other sources of chemistry contribute to polluting our home. Not to mention pets, people and gassy foods.
I recently read a book titled, “Your Home is Making You Sick.” It offers brilliant insight on how to convert an unhealthy home into a healthy home. The author also exposes the top ten cancer causing things in a home as well. It’s one of the most brilliant literary reads of the 21st Century. Many unnamed sources are claiming its sales should surpass The Bible within a few weeks of release. (I was privileged to review it prior to release. I know a guy!).
Back to my DA friend…She’s healthy, happy, and successful and now has more time to brag about her successes on Face Book. It warms my heart…or maybe it’s just heart burn…or gas!
