Has anyone also considered or investigated the connection between shopping and
formaldehyde exposure? There are certain shops (often containing large amounts
of new fabric, foam etc.) that I can't stay in for too long without feeling
completely drained. I have always suspected that this relates to a high
concentration of formaldehyde (in fabric, foam, MDF/fibreboard etc.). I wonder
if perhaps my perceived reaction to formaldehyde is either aggravated or
intensified by EMF's and EMR associated with high level fluorescent lighting
and whatever other electrical and electronic appliances are used in the store.
It appears from many discussions on both of these lists that there is a
possible link between environmental poisoning (e.g. mercury) and symptoms of
illnesses such as Electrical Sensitivity, which also often seems to occur with
MCS and other 'modern' illnesses. Perhaps formaldehyde is another part of the
equation?

I've never noticed electrical sensitivity any other time so maybe it was the
combination of all the toxic stuff in stores plus just overdoing it.I hate
shopping and living on an island makes it hard to just do little shopping
errands .Try to do as much as I can in one day, and i've done this befor and
not had this happen.
