[Hallicrafters] Ridiculous warning

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

You may think so, but if you are one of those who is sensitive to mildew, it is
far from ridiculous.	
	
i developed this sensitivity after receiving treatment for cancer. If I am in
the close proximity of it now it causes me respiratory problems, shortness of
breath, dizziness and elevated heart rate. 	
	
I know quite a few people, especially those who are over forty, who now are
bothered by mildew and/or mold from items stored in basements, storage sheds or
any other place that allows this odor to develop.	
	
So make fun of me if it amuses you, criticize me if you want to, but if it is
you who suddenly can not breathe because of such a substance you are exposed to,
you won't be laughing then. t

Amen.  Talk about over the top!! ... Jeez.... :-(

I found some manuals in my bedroom, and because I sneeze, cough, 
and do other things "unimaginable", and definitely un-evangelical-
Republican  that might cause various materials and or "germs" to end up 
on the surface of manuals or radios or other detritus I might wish to sell, 
do I need to get some medical examiner's approval first?

The world is full of molds, "germs", DNA, and other "unfortunate" 
materials, basement or not ....  give it a break.
