Toxic Beauty Hits Hard Behind Redwood Curtain

The story of our very own Jill Munger has been published at http://squishsquash-squash.blogspot.com/2010/02/heavy-metal-florists-mercury-toxicity.html in what will, G-d willing, become a spark to ignite a firestorm of public awareness about the dangers of exposure to toxic chemicals. The story has been written to highlight the dangers of toxic chemical exposure and it chronicles Jill's trip down the rabbit hole after she suddenly started experiencing unexplainable acute, vertigo while working as the florist for a local supermarket chain.

Her ordeal continued with doctors and specialists as they were stumped to find a cause for what had become a nightmare filled with fits of vomiting and migraines forcing her to spend 24 hours a day in a dark room with the covers pulled over her head to keep out the light. At one point they thought it might have been an ear infection caused by Jill's volunteer lifeguard activities. That possibility was eliminated as her symptoms continued to deteriorate.

Thank G-d, Jill is still with us today and seems to be feeling much better. If you want to know how they finally diagnosed the cause of her misery and how it relates to toxic chemical exposure you'll have to read the blog post at http://squishsquash-squash.blogspot.com/2010/02/heavy-metal-florists-mercury-toxicity.html
