    Just wondering .... have you made any changes inside your home lately ? Anything like new furniture or carpets. Any new insulation maybe. That stuff can outgas formaldehyde and create sick building syndrome.

    Maybe take in any scrap recently that could be outgassing ?

    Any strange smells that you can't account for ?

    Any teenagers in the house ?
    Okay Hills I'll confess. The outgassing was me.



    A few years ago my 2 teenage daughters had some friends over. Boys and girls about 6 total. They came in the front door after playing outside all sweaty and stanking like a bunch of wet dogs. I made them go out on the deck, got them something to drink and proceeded with a short speech about proper hygiene and the use of deodorant.
