[quote:Anonymous Coward 109229:MV8yOTU5ODIzXzUyMzUyMTE2XzM3NTNDQTcy] OP, if it were me, i'd have the water tested and I've would have the house tested for mold. These are 2 big possibilities that you need to rule out. Google water testing, there are companies that do it for around $150.00, you just send in a sample. This is critical to get done. I'd send in a sample of the tap water and also a sample of the hot water to make sure there isn't a problem with the hot water heater growing stuff in there. THe mold testing is also just as important as the water. Open your phone book and search for a company that tests for mold. I had it done in my last house, cost me around $500.00 and that was about 7 years ago. They test the air quality in each room for mold. These 2 things should be done asap. If neither of them show a problem then you can feel pretty confident that it's not your house that's causing it......and can start looking at other options. [/quote]

My children vomited from November 5 till December 29th last year. Every 3 or 4 days and sick all day the day they vomited. All different days, 1 on one day and so on. It's violent vomiting often too. Well violent dry heaves because it's always first thing in the morning. Usually they wake up sick.
My husband is on his way to the ER with my oldest son right now. This illness returned last week, my oldest son is sick again today.
First....I feel helpless, I can't fix it as I'm out of options. The doctor says "it's a virus, it needs to run its course". Sure the ER will say the same but we have to try. This virus just happened to return?
Had gas company out. Central air and heater not on. Running whole house fan with windows open the past few weeks. Had radon tested in 2012. Non of our fireplaces, gas or wood, have been used yet this year. We cleaned the crap out of everything last year, so over cleaning again won't work. I clean often and just had company stay so a deep clean was just done.
My kids are home schooled. Not a "virus" their getting at school.
Finally, my hair is falling out just as it did after every pregnancy. It began shedding 3 weeks ago. It's expected after pregnancy but I have no idea why I'm losing it now. I don't think I lost hair last year when my kids were sick.
Should I consider a radiation detector? What if?
I'm in NC and poked around about detectors but there's so much info to sort through.
Can anyone advise an entry level reliable detector?
