What can I do if my roommates poisoned me?
<p>What can I do if my roommates poisoned me by improperly using pesticide without asking if it was okay with me to use it or even warning me or telling me after the fact?</p>

<p>The product says clearly it is not to be used in areas that occupied more than 4 hours a day, rooms with vents, or anything not sealed.  I woke up very sick and with an intense headache.  This is not something that I ever experience under normal conditions.  I found an open package and rubber gloves outside of their rooms.  I heard them talking about it the night when I was in the bathroom about to take a shower, but it made more sense the following morning.  I heard our other roommate telling them that it came in the mail and didn't come with directions, so doing what "that guy" said should be fine.  I took a picture of the package, and on the label it says at the top with large letters that it is only for sale to and use by professionals.</p>

<p>If you're concerned for your health, see a doctor and get a diagnosis.</p>

<p>Ask your roommates to stop the behaviour.</p>

<p>If you have suffered losses that you believe you should be compensated for, ask your roommates to compensate you.</p>

<p>If they don't stop, or they won't compensate you, <em>and</em> you think it is worth the time, money, and attention, you could talk to a lawyer regarding a negligence lawsuit. You can also move out.</p>
