May - Nov 2012. Diarrhea and headaches following application for 2 - 3 days. (including dizziness and falls). Cough that persisted until the end of Nov (needed an inhaler to stop). Loss of hair. Swelling around mouth and strange sensations (almost gone 1yr later). As a competitive runner I am now 2min/mile slower than before this exposure. All other health issues rules out by the doctor including allergies. When aware would close all windows and stay inside - living next door and home a lot during this time. Would wait several days before being out in "our" yard.
