Hello
I've recently been ill with cold/flu like symptoms incl breathing problems which got quite bad with incidents like needing to cough but having too much mucus on my chest and then struggling to breathe ending in a major coughing fit and me panicking that I wasnt going to breath again resulting in tears and a day off work as I stressed myself out so much
Went to the doc who says I have an allergy to something (as of this year I have become seriously allergic to wasp/flea/mosquito bites/unidentified ingredients in random foods - to the point that the food poisoning almost sent me into anafalatic shock and a mosquito bite made one side of my face and neck swell for 5 days) but it would be a process of elimination which appears to be giving me drugs and seeing which ones work. Currently I am on nasal steriods(opening up nose but not helping breathing), antihistamines (never work anyway) and antibiotics (not sure what they are doing). Next step will be an inhaler like for asthma
Well I've been doing my own process of elimination and it dawned on me, courtesy of a friend, that I had recently used a bob martins flea bomb - i did it as per the instructions (not that the fleas have gone) but within 3 days I was off work and at the doctors.
It might not be linked but I am struggling to come up with anything else 'different' that might have triggerd this episode.
I know that Bob Martins contains NASTY NASTY organophosphates which are poisonous to animals (has anyone researched using bob martins before purchasing?? the amount of animals that have died is incredibly horrific) but my question is DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY HUMAN WHO HAS SUFFERED AN ADVERSE REACTION using bob martins?
certainly the symptoms I have sound like organophosphate poisoning but I don't want to go running to the doc without some facts as I can't see anything online that I can say: yes see there it says it can cause problems in humans and bob martins is (possibly) the cause
thanks and sorry for the waffle
