Mamiduno New-Baby Registered: 07/29/10 Posts: 1 Loc: Texas	Mothballs. I feel so bad. I used like 9 mothballs for a week in my car garage. I realized the smell was getting stronger. So I removed them. Now my home smells like mothballs. I have been airing out my home for 3 days already. The smell is less. Is it really bad for my children to have inhaled the fumes. I have done all the necesarry precautions to remove them and air out my home. I am paranoid b/c I don't want this to affect my 7yr old and 2yr. old. Please advise as to if i need to take them in to get checked for poison intoxication or your opinion. Thank you so much. Edited by Mamiduno (07/29/10 03:46 PM)
