Inhaled zeolite powder mistakenly , do I have cancer now?

Why do you think it would cause cancer? I haven’t read anything about that.
Have you?

SkeletonFlower - I sense you are anxious and very likely utterly freaked out by what has happened to your health and in your life as a result.

it's a lot to deal with and everyone here has been through similar things and so we do all get that and we sympathize completely. it's tough on the individual, tough on the people around them, tough on relationships, tough on finances. it is life-changing and few people outside this community will get that.

on zeolite - I would try not to worry about this much if at all.
it seems there is one fibrous form that can cause cancer if inhaled but not the form made for human consumption.
and, typically these fibrous minerals cause cancer mostly to people who have daily exposure for years - and not from one-off exposures.
so the main risk is people exposed from their work in industries such as mining or slate working etc - who are both exposed to fibrous types of minerals - and exposed routinely for years - rather than a one-off.
in your case as it was neither fibrous or continuous - and you likely have no more risk than others in the general public.

in general, i notice from your posts that you do seem to suffer a great deal of anxiety, worry and despair.
i suspect this is likely causing you a great deal of distress.

i wanted to ask, is there anyone you can go to for help with support with not so much the physical and practical aspects of dealing with this disease ( those are of course important also ) but more the mental aspects i mention above? - as to be able to even consistently follow the practical steps it's likely you need to be in a stable and resilient place mentally.

I hope you don't think I am judging you - it's normal and understandable to feel overwhelmed by this illness and my only intention is to try to help.

from what I read it seems to me the thing that may help you most at this particular point in your journey may be support with how to deal with your condition mentally and emotionally - which in turn will help you deal with the other challenges much more easily.

Skeleton flower - Garzie is trying to help -

If you are worried about it - then stop taking it - I doubt that inhaling it a few times would cause cancer

Skeletonflower,

It is evident from reading your posts that you have a lot of symptoms, some quite serious. You also made it clear in your posts that you don’t want to see doctors for help.

We are not doctors or scientists. We are people suffering from Lyme and other tick borne infections. We are here to support each other and share our knowledge and experiences. The tone in many of your posts implies that you demand more from us than is reasonable, and you frequently respond to others with snarky remarks. We are here to help, but we are not your servants or slaves to demand of and talk down to.

IMHO, you really need professional help from a medical practitioner experienced with Lyme disease patients. Most of those practitioners don’t take insurance. There are some links in the New to Lyme post at the top of the main page related to financial assistance. There’s also the option to apply for disability. I hope you will consider getting qualified help.

Edit: I just did a search for financial assistance for Lyme and found this.
