The only thing I can think of but certainly don't have experience as to their safety for MCS (Jeri or others?) Is creating a vest, headband, neckerchief, belt...
... I looked them up. They are polyacrylamide. They could be a problem for some with MCS, but that would be an individual thing, like so much else is. I've...
Are you talking daytime or night time? During the day hopefully you can find a shady spot with a breeze. During the night if you are sleeping you will need to...
My cooling vests are just ice packs that go into pockets in the vests. They are initially smelly- I buy replacements when I can tell its going to be needed the...
Where are you located? Is it a dry or humid area? What type of vehicle are you using? Number one concern is usually sun. If you cannot find perfect shade, you...

The cooling packs and vests are a great way to stay cool, but it is MUCH cheaper to buy a package of disposable diapers and use the "stuffing" out of them than...
Hi: I have not done Arizona summertime desert heat in a car but I have boondocked in a 24 foot motorhome in that extreme. Â The first thing is LAYERING and...

I bought a 2nd. hand ski jacket and in the shop didn't notice it, but when I got it home it was full of strong perfume. Then I put it in our small laundry and...
Yes David 8). That aluminized bubblewrap is exactly what I use, frequently with a reflective nylon-like cloth layer underneath to help cut the reflections...
Hi Mary, Welcome to the group. As for the jacket, it is unlikely you will ever get it out and if you do it will be only after much work and great effort. Been...
Hi: I was a Chemist before I retired. I have been a fulltime RVer (they call that HOMELESS) ffor 16 years now. Â I have MANY PROJECTS I work on, I also get...
I agree, getting out 2nd hand perfume etc is nay on impossible. That said, you can try putting it in the sun to break down the chemical compounds. Forward...
I'm looking into getting that bubblewrap. Out of just purely not having resources, I'd been using paper taped up to the inside of the windows. I will need to...
Do you have a specific brand? I read that some of it is fire-retardant, which obviously means a chemical is on it. I ventured in panic to a home store to...

I don't know about bubble wrap, but do know that my attempts to stay cool by wearing a wet scarf with those embedded polymer crystals makes my neck very itchy....

Hi Teri, So sorry to hear about that. I was going to suggest shaving the dog (I think I heard recently of someone doing that whose dog got sprayed by a skunk)>...
Hi Terri, that is awful and I sympathize with you. I agree that all synthetic fragrance smells like the same chemical. (all of it used in laundry and home...
