Painting rooms in house. How do I avoid coming down with severe migraines? I am using an acrylix latex paint.?
Question:
Answers:
Along with having the ventilated room and aspirins.I suggest using a high quality respirator.
Take 4 aspirins before you start painting and air the rooms well all the time..
Keep the room ventilated at all times and you will be ok.
First, you probably have an allergy to latex. Second, they do make low odor paints that have lower VOC emissions, try one of those. Third, keep the window open and use a fan. If all the above fail, you definitely have an allergy to latex.
Add a few drops of vanilla to your gallon of paint. It not only takes the fumes away but once the paint is dry it will have that samefaint smell for at least a month.
Also a well ventilated room, not only an open window but a fan as well.
I don't suggest wearing a mask as that sometimes makes you feel as if everything in closing in on you.
Use A low or no VOC paint .
Make sure your room is well ventilated while painting.
There are also natural milk based paints
