I wear a proper mask around friable asbestos in non-ventilated areas. The mold gets to me every now and then, but it's usually just a stuffy nose for a few days.
My personal methods should not be confused with a safe method of preventing asbestosis, toxic mold, or any other airborne disease.
Motts, how do you deal with the mold in places like this? I guess you wear a mask? Anything specific you could say about what health precautions you have to take in a setting like this would be really interesting to me.
Neat, I would have to jump in and say that I like and am intruiged by the curtains, its always interesting to see details like curtains left behind in these places.
I've used hydrotherapy at home to treat acute anxiety. Soaking in a tub of cold water works best: It induces a mild, relaxing hypothermic state. Provides pleasant relief when one is extremely anxious. It's a pity shrinkers abandoned such treatment -- which can be patient-controlled and thus empowering -- for drugs that have side effects and can even be addictive.
Xander, I am always curious where people get their information, such as "some hundred patients that were misdiagnosed by a time in which much was mistaken for insanity." Is there somewhere I can go to see this information? I haven't run across anything quite that concrete yet, and since I am working on an informal history of the field, that would be very helpful. Thanks in advance for any references you can provide.
The laughter of the insane danced acrossed that ceiling. Mingled with the weeping of some hundred patients that were misdiognosed by a time in which much was mistaken for insanity.
Such a grand room. It's a wonder that the room survived so well. Just think of the unfourtunate (Insane) souls that spent their time in that room...sends a shiver down your spine.
