Hi Cate,

Its a great question to bring again into the forum.

I followed Ellen's advice, which is to spray a coat or a jacket with Kleen Green every time after you have worn it, inside and out and then sit it on a hook or hanger to dry off.

I also washed my coats and jackets if they were machine washable, probably every few months. I've never felt they were a problem treated like this.

God bless,

Ruth

Cate,

Winter coat material depends on where you live.

Wool or cashmere mix is warm and light.

Wet snowy or cold then down filled polyester.

Light warm layering is good for under a wind proofed waterproof fabric jacket.
A wool coat doesn't touch your skin so you have no reason to fear it. some find fleece material warm enough.

A coat will need dry cleaning once a year.
Nothing can harm you worn away from the skin.

Nothing seems to warm you in early stages of morgs as the body seems not to be able to warm itself(from my experience)
but as you get better wear whatever you are comfortable with.

What sort of winter coat do you usually have?

Try not to fret about things or fibres in clothing. Just spray with kleen green.

Hi Cate,

My daughter and I really struggled with this last year.

We are now approaching our 9th month on the protocol and don't anticipate this winter will be nearly as difficult.

If you are early in recovery, I would suggest using resale or some less expensive stores to purchase coats. We used nylon or polyester with a thin fill and washed in WPS after every other use. Washable material is a must.

We had a serious problem with re-infection at the time and, even with regular washing, still ended up needing to purchase several coats for each of us through the year.

We were in WI at the time and limited our exposure to the outdoors because this was such an issue.

Thank the Lord that symptoms improve on this protocol.
Clothing is not near the issue that it was 8 months ago!

Prayers to you!

Jenny S.
