Shelter: A Quest for Non-Toxic Housing

Crocuta writes "Many of the geeks on /. voluntarily confine themselves to their homes for vast stretches of time, but what happens when your home becomes your prison? Eric Hunting suffers from Environmental Illness which perpetually confines him to his home, which even as carefully furnished as it is, is still slowly killing him. His website, Shelter, is both a plea for help and a guide documenting one man's quest for non-toxic housing."

    Sorry to be insensitive, but until I see some better evidence for this being a real disorder, I'm going to assume that he's just another crackpot hypochondriac

    Bear in mind, exactly the same things were said about ADD, ADHD, Fibro-Myalgia, and a myriad of other things until they actually proved them. These are the same people who tell you Nutrasweet is "safe".

    Sorry.. anything that bonds into my bloodstream, goes straight to my brain, and there releases Formaldehyde and Methanol is _not safe_, and I dont care how much the AMA and the NEJM say "its okay! We tested it for three years before we gave it to you!".

    Wow, in college. That must have been some serious research you did. You and Doogie Howser must have been up doing your titrations in to the wee hours to get the data for your journal article.

    And your dad a contractor? Jesus, you're all over that shit. How could anyone possibly refute contractor Dad and an undergrad paper.
