3/25/2019 Caller sprayed the product in her home three months ago on her hardwood floors. She immediately began to feel weak, sick to her stomach, and her head felt sick like she had been exposed to carbon monoxide. Caller cleaned the floors with soap and water and then vinegar. the symptoms return after being in the home for an extended period of time, and then improve when she leaves for work or when she turns on the air purifier. She has also used Sol U Mel to clean the floors and this had not helped. She has been seen by her medical provider. Her doctor stated that she had just had a physical done the week before and did not see a reason to run any laboratory tests, and wasn't sure what tests she could run. No tests were done at that time.
