Wife of Pest Control Tech poisoned husband in denial
Hello, My name is Cathy and I am married to a pest
control service tech.
When I met him in 86 he didn't do this type of work.
In 1990 he began his pest control job.
after 4 years he and two others bought the company that they worked
for.
They were using Dursban.. A BUNCH
I became sick with many chemical sensitivity allergies.
I didn't know why! I complained about the laundry and how the chemical would
burn my arms and hands when I would pick up the clothes to put in the washer.
He smelled every night with the odor of Dursban.
they have quit using that product but they now use a
product called Suspend sc
Delta Dust etc.. he claims that it is safe.
Now this isn't the man I married. he has many of the symptoms listed in your warning map. http://www.safe2use.com/data/symptoms.htm
I told him I was going to look up these products to find
out how safe they are.
HE IS WRONG.
the products just don't have a smell
I am now chemically intolerant!
He is crabby and worn out looking. His skin is always red and his eyes burn and he gets big time
headaches.
He is very short tempered with me almost to the point
where I hate him.
I know it is these products he is using.
They don't use the proper protection either.
I begged him to get the company to do a toxic level test
on them.. but he ignores me.
Do you have any kind of information I could use to better
inform me of what this chemical potential has in store for me and my husband.
I love him so much but he isn't the man I have known for
years!
thank you for your time
Sincerely
Cathy Hildreth
ps it is very difficult to find information on this subject
Cathy,
Here's another case of Delta Dust poisoning:
http://www.getipm.com/articles/letters/delta-dust.htm
We have been begging and pleading with individuals like
your husband for years to look at what is going on.
Unfortunately, when someone is making their living from
applying these poisons it is difficult to impossible to see past that fact.
You can find out more information at;

Until he wakes up to what is going on, there is little
you can do except consider ways to lessen your own poisoning.

from what I have found out.. well, let's just say I am
going to call my insurance guy and raise the amount of my husbands death
benefits.
I have been sleeping separate rooms for over 5 years or
better. I am allergic to him.
I can't take any kind of chemicals considering he won't
go to the doctor and no one cares really... hey he is either going to end up
with some brain disease.
I am doing hospice for a woman who is dying of Shy-Drager
Syndrome.
she is only 65 but is bed ridden and can only use barely
one arm and hand.
I looked up her problem and then when looking up this
pest control junk... I found an interesting connection to her very rare
illness.
She raised sheep. She
had them sheared and she spun the yarn. Her illness is very similar to Parkinson's - she has the mask
face and her legs are stiff.
it is very sad
but I wonder if the Sheep Dip and her handling the
wool.....? just a thought I would
like to tell her..
thanks again
and I am keeping far away from that man of mine.
:-)

Cathy,
There are a lot of people that work with sheep that are
suffering because of the "sheep dip" which is another OP pesticide.
Protect yourself and we're so sorry to hear that your
husband will not.

One other question.
Would you like to be included on this page:
http://www.getipm.com/our-loved-ones/injured.htm
Maybe
it will help save another wife of a pest control person.
Linda
yes,
and there is no talking to my husband.
He flipped yesterday when i tried to get him to go get a physical.
I wonder if I can sue the company for the dursban and my
illness? or can that be proven?
if so it would be a fair and just thing as my ability to
earn a living has stopped.
I was a hairstylist and all that ended when I became
chemically sick.
yes, please share my story.
thanks for your reply and compassion
