“Poisoning ”
I have been feeling sick and not at myself, itching all over, runny nose, headache, excessive weight loss, loss of appetite, hot flashes, insomnia, nauseous and anxious. My mind has also been extremely foggy and off and on fevers with chills. I am starting to feel better now that my younger sister has came to stay for the holidays. My sister and I were cleaning the kitchen when I glanced behind us to see my older sister walk up to a glass that I was drinking out of and spray something in it. I asked her what she was doing and that's when I seen it was flea spray for cats along with another bottle of cat wormer. She told me that there was only soap and water in the bottles but she has been known to have mental health issues. How can I tell if this is what has been going on with me lately and what would the side effects be?

Your symptoms might be caused by exposure to harmful substances. Since you saw your sister spray flea spray and cat dewormer near your glass, act immediately:
See a Doctor Now: Share your symptoms and what you saw.
Get Tested: Ask for blood and urine tests to check for toxins.
Understand Risks: Flea spray can cause nausea, dizziness, or irritation, while dewormer can upset your stomach or worse.
Stay Safe: If your sister’s behavior is unsafe, involve trusted family or professionals.
Don’t wait—contact a healthcare provider immediately to ensure your health and safety.

Hello there! I recommend see a physician asap that can evaluate, and if needed, do labs abe studies and diagnose this condition so appropriate treatment can be given such as activated charcoal and other antidotes!
