Hey Pez,
Quit talking to my wife, will ya? Her and I go round 'n round on this same topic.
(her) "Jose, everything's contaminated in this house".
(me) "No, honey... not everything... come on get a grip."
(her...glaring) "You know, you could be just a tad more supportive"
(me) "Huh? Not supportive? Not SUPPORTIVE? Are you nutz?" ouch.. I shouldn't have said that. Why can't I learn to keep my stupid mouth shut!
(her) "........"
(me, knocking on the door which was slammed shut) "Hey honey, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that... can you please unlock the door?"
(her) "........"
(me) "Look Kath, I'm really sorry... it's just that I can't understand how it's possible for every thing in this house to be full of bug pieces, fibers, mold, algae, and all this other junk. I mean we just vacuumed and mopped and sprayed apple cider vinegar everywhere. Our house smells like a dill pickle! How can it be full of crap already?"
(her) "I don't want to talk about it."
Later that day we both calm down and methodically start to re-clean everything. Along the way we discover that our clothes drawers are full of some strange stuff... like sand. And, underneath our bed there are little pieces of tiny hard things. Where did that come from? We just cleaned yesterday.
So, yea. I understand. Actually I'm not as clueless as I appear (above) and I've removed our carpeting, thrown out half our furniture, redone both bathrooms, new air-conditioner, cleaned the a/c ducts, no more pets, no plants, we sleep on covered matresses, etc etc. And for all that, there is still all this schmutz all over the house. It's enough to make one go over the edge.
A word of disclaimer: I was skeptical until I saw all of this with my own eyes... and saw my wife's bugs through a microscope. That's sad, but that's how it is. People (even your close loved ones) will be slow to come around until this stuff hits them right across the kisser like a two-by-four. But I'm on board now, 100%... trying to convince others too that this is all too real.
