Four years ago I was exposed to a fogging treatment in our student housing which was a traumatic event that has been eating away at my thoughts. I was in a student home studying at [University] when a bug spray company performed a treatment on the lower floor while I was sleeping on the higher floor. The rooming house, which was illegal was separated into two sections: 1. The bottom half where the Bed Beg treatments took place and 2. The top half where I was living. The smell was of paint and chemicals and I quickly opened the window when I would wake up. I didn't know what was going on and what the smell was until I was notified by the landlord of the treatment after the fact. In the email they mentioned that they sprayed Permethrin, a beg bug neurotoxin multiple times in the house. They repeated this treatment 3 times and I was sleeping each of these times. They made no attempt to notify the living residents on the top floor. I have not signed anything notifying that I was aware of these applications.To be determined by Registrant

I was experiencing light headedness and headaches after the exposure. The negative effects were both physical and psychological. This event caused fear of brain damage and other negative health issues. However, the concern now is that these negative thoughts keep interfering with my life.
