EPISODE117 - Jeff May, May Indoor Investigations, LLC

We can't say it any better than the following quote from "My House is Killing Me".
"Working with Jeff May has completely changed my attitude toward the impact of the indoor world on human illness. His work has allowed us to focus on the true sources of allergic disease--the microscopic organisms that the immune system must deal with every second we spend indoors. His advice profoundly benefits families with environmental sensitivity, including those with immunologic conditions beyond allergy and asthma".
