Tips for People With Environmental Illness

Do you these so please read my friends,

This fact sheet is designed to provide a checklist for activities for people with disabilities to improve their emergency preparedness readiness.
It is to be used in for people with a specific disability: Mobility, Visual, Communication, Cognitive, Psychiatric, Hearing, etc. Preparation may seem like a lot of work. It is. Preparing does take time and effort. So do a little at a time, as your energy and budget permit. The important thing is to start preparing. The more you do, the more confident you will be that you can protect yourself, your family, and your belongings.

Emergency Supplies
Collect emergency supplies based on your worst days. After a major disaster an excess of smoke, excessive dust, molds, gas leaks, diesel from idling rescue vehicles, flashing lights, radio waves, electro magnetic fields (from generators, emergency lights, cellular phones and walkie talkies) and airborne toxins may trigger stronger reactions than you normally experience.

Carry With You" Emergency Supplies
Emergency Health Information Card should clearly explain your sensitivities and reactions, most helpful treatments, and treatments which are harmful, Be specific, as environmental illness is not commonly understood. Remember that some reactions (disorientation, aphasia, panic) may be diagnosed and treated as something other than chemical sensitivity and you may not be able to describe your needs verbally.
Medications including: inhalers, epinephrine shots, anticonvulsant.
Prescriptions and Treatment Authorization Request (T.A.R.s) from your doctor for unusual, orphan or hard-to-find medications.
Supplements, herbs, homeopathic remedies.
First Aid Kit:
Cotton bandages, gauze, and paper tape.
Hydrogen peroxide, zephiran chloride or your tolerated disinfectant.
