Formaldehyde Fumes Felt in Indiana
By Armen Keteyian and Michael Rey
Terry Slone, a former employee of Gulf Stream Coach, spoke to CBS News outside of the factory in Indiana where he says the company built tens of thousands of travel trailers, part of a half a billion dollars contract with FEMA. As he told us in our story, he saw and smelled what he said were poor quality wood products coming into the factory on pallets and leaving the factory as cabinets and flooring in the travel trailers. He installed much of it himself.
, Slone also thinks he may have gotten sick from the same formaldehyde fumes that could also be making residents of the trailers in the Gulf sick.

I have told my wife several times that I felt like I was being poisoned or that I had something inside that was slowly killing me. Also, when I awake my t-shirt is soaked from my upper chest up. I change wet t-shirts twice a night.
I never got anything from FEMA or GSA warning me of formaldehyde poisoning!
I know that it is in my body or has done permanent damage, because I haven't been in the trailer in about a month and I haven't gotten any better.
Can someone tell me what I need to tell the doctor and lab technicians to look for in my blood or tissue to detect poisoning or how to detect if I have permanent damage from exposure there of?
I am going to attempt to contact GSA and FEMA today. If I find out anything I will post it here.
