Sexual Harassment is Prohibited and Will Not Be Tolerated in My Apartment

https://www.nycourts.gov/careers/diversity/pdfs/SHhandbook.pdf

"What kinds of behavior might be considered sexually harassing? Sexually harassing behavior may be subtle or direct, and it may be verbal, physical or visual. It might involve, for example: 

• Repeated physical contact, such as putting an arm around a shoulder…, finding excuses to brush against someone, or insisting on farewell or congratulatory hugs or kisses. 
• Frequent inquiries about … sexual or social life and attempts to turn… discussions to sexual topics. 
• Pressure for lunch, dinner, dates or social encounters. 
• Displays of pornographic matter, degrading cartoons or insulting images. 
• Distribution of obscene notes or e-mail. foul or derogatory language of a sexual nature used to refer to someone’s gender or sexual preference. 
• Uninvited sexual teasing or jokes. 
• Remarks about sexual prowess or sexual characteristics. demands for sexual favors accompanied by threats or promises. 
• Leering, ogling or staring. 
• Refusing to take seriously requests to stop any of these behaviors.

"Sexual harassment may be verbal, visual and/or physical, including: 

• Sexually offensive remarks or jokes; 

• Unwanted touching or groping; 

• Coerced sex acts; 

• Requests for sexual favors of a sexually suggestive nature (e.g., asking employee to dig coins out of a supervisor’s pants pocket); 

• Displaying pornographic images; 

• Comments (either complimentary or derogatory) about a person’s gender or sexual preferences; 

• Sexual gestures (e.g., pantomiming sex acts). 

Sexual harassment is prohibited by Title VII of the 1964 federal Civil Rights Act, New York State Human Rights Law and, in some instances, local law (for example, the New York City Administrative Code)."

The Effect Eucalyptol Products Have on My Lungs and Sinuses

In an effort to protect my body from eucalyptol (and possibly also against additional substances) in these products which the excluded occupant brought into and used inside my apartment:

Equate Antiseptic Mouthrinse
John Frieda Root Awakening Shampoo
John Frieda Root Awakening Conditioner

my lungs flooded with so much mucus and fluid that I repeated woke up at feeling that I was suffocating or drowning, and I coughed so much that I lost my voice.  After these products were confiscated from the excluded occupant, my health stopped the downward spiral and I began to recover. I no longer coughed up blood and thick greenish/yellowish mucus, but I still coughed up more than 13tsp (65ml) of pale yellowish/greenish fluid from March 23-March 27, 2015.  

Above: Fluid I Coughed up out of my lungsMarch 26-27
Below: Fluid I coughed up out of my lungs March 23-25

By March 28th, a week after the eucalyptus products were confiscated, my health was beginning to return to normal. In the evening, all of excluded occupant's belongings were removed from the apartment and the locks were changed. Excluded occupant retrieved his belongings, including the confiscated eucalyptol products, at 11pm on March 28th, 2015. 

As of March 29th, 2015 I have not used asthma medicine inhalers for more than 35 hours and I feel pretty good. This is in contrast to while the excluded occupant was using these products in my apartment, and I was gasping for breath and resorting to using asthma medicine inhalers constantly. 

In addition to eucalyptol, John Frieda Root Awakening Shampoo contains other chemicals known to triggers allergies and/or asthma. 

NOTICE Regarding Eucalyptol

This is the notice I posted on March 8, 2015 in the common hallway inside my apartment in an effort to dissuade the excluded occupant from bringing any more products containing eucalyptus, oil of eucalyptus, and/or eucalyptol into my home. 

Here is the text:

DO NOT REMOVE THIS NOTICE

- NOTICE -

What Cockroaches Eat

Mini Doughnuts wrapper smells sweet and attracts cockroaches

"Cockroaches eat a great variety of food, including all food used for human consumption. They prefer starchy and sugary materials. They sip milk and nibble at cheese, meats, pastry, grain products, sugar and sweet chocolate. They also feed on cardboard, book bindings, ceiling boards containing starch, the sized inner lining of shoe soles, their own cast-off skins, dead and crippled cockroaches, fresh and dried blood, excrement, sputum, and the fingernails and toenails of babies and sleeping or sick persons."

"Uncovered garbage bins offer an excellent environment for cock-roaches to develop."

http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/resources/vector288to301.pdf

Fecal matter left on toilet seat and pools of body fluids left on bathroom floor attracts cockroaches. 

"They feed on just about anything, even their deceased brethren, but they do have a sweet tooth and prefer to eat sugary and starchy items such as sweets, cardboard and book-bindings (1). Included in their rather diverse diet is their consumption of human detritus such as feces, sputum, toe nails, and bodily residue on surgical swabs."

Dirty underwear left lying around attracts cockroaches

"American cockroaches feed upon a great variety of materials such as cheese, beer, leather, bakery products, starch in bookbindings, manuscripts, glue, hair, flakes of dried skin, dead animals, plant materials, soiled clothing, and glossy paper with starch sizing. The most important aspect of cockroach damage derives from the insects’ habit of feeding and harboring in damp and unsanitary places such as sewers, garbage disposals, kitchens, bathrooms, and indoor storage indoors. Filth from these sources is spread by cockroaches to food supplies, food preparation surfaces, dishes, utensils, and other surfaces. Cockroaches contaminate far more food than they are able to eat."

"Cockroaches will eat a great variety of materials, including cheese and bakery products, but they are especially fond of starchy materials, sweet substances, and meat products."

"Disease-producing organisms such as bacteria, protozoa, and viruses have been found in cockroach bodies. Different forms of gastroenteritis (food poisoning, dysentery, diarrhea, etc.) appear to be the principal diseases transmitted by these cockroaches. These disease-causing organisms are carried on the legs and bodies of cockroaches, and are deposited on food and utensils as cockroaches forage. Cockroach excrement and cast skins also contain a number of allergens, to which many people exhibit allergic responses such as skin rashes, watery eyes, congestion of nasal passages, asthma, and sneezing." http://ento.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/american-cockroaches

"They are proven or suspected carriers of the organisms causing: 

— diarrhoea 
— dysentery 
— cholera 
— leprosy 
— plague
— typhoid fever 
— viral diseases such as poliomyelitis. In addition they carry the eggs of parasitic worms and may cause allergic reactions, including dermatitis, itching, swelling of the eyelids and more serious respiratory conditions (4)."

Excerpted from Everything You Didn’t Want to Know About Cockroaches By Rebecca Kreston:

"All types of passengers are welcome on this cockroach bus. Over 30 species of bacteria have been found on the cuticle and gut of roaches, including those of serious medical import such as E. coli, various species of Salmonella and Staphylcoccous, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae (4). These bacteria cause diseases such as urinary tract infections, dysentery, diarrhea, pneumonia, cholera, polio, septicemia and wound infections (5). One study that trapped cockroaches in order to measure their bacterial load found that number was as high as 14 million microbes found on the exterior of the bodies, and 7 million in their fecal droppings (5).

"Viable eggs and dormant cysts of parasites also hitch a ride; the culprits include the ova of Ascaris lumbricoides (giant roundworm), Anchylostoma deodunale (hookworm), Trichuris trichura (whipworm), Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm) and Strongyloides stercoralis (threadworm), and the cysts of Entomoeba hystolitica, Balantidium coli, C. parvum, C. cayetenensis and Isospora belli (4). Even the virus that causes polio, poliomyelitis, has been found within the guts of cockroaches (6).

ID#:3398 This is an illustration of the life cycle of Isospora belli, the causal agent of Isosporiasis. At time of excretion, the immature oocyst contains usually one sporoblast (more rarely two) (1). In further maturation after excretion, the sporoblast divides in two (the oocyst now contains two sporoblasts); the sporoblasts secrete a cyst wall, thus becoming sporocysts; and the sporocysts divide twice to produce four sporozoites each (2). Infection occurs by ingestion of sporocysts-containing oocysts: the sporocysts excyst in the small intestine and release their sporozoites, which invade the epithelial cells and initiate schizogony (3). Upon rupture of the schizonts, the merozoites are released, invade new epithelial cells, and continue the cycle of asexual multiplication (4). Trophozoites develop into schizonts which contain multiple merozoites. After a minimum of one week, the sexual stage begins with the development of male and female gametocytes (5). Fertilization results in the development of oocysts that are excreted in the stool (1). Isospora belli infects both humans and animals.

Shigella dysenteriae

This photomicrograph revealed stool exudates in a patient with shigellosis, which is also known as “Shigella dysentery”, or “Bacterial dysentery”. Usually, those who are infected with Shigella develop diarrhea, which is often bloody, fever, and stomach cramps starting a day or two after they are exposed to the bacterium.

Excerpted from Everything You Didn’t Want to Know About Cockroaches By Rebecca Kreston: "There are several documented cases of small outbreaks that pinpoint to cockroaches playing an indirect but prominent role in disease transmission. In one county in Northern Ireland in the late 1970s, fifteen food-handlers in various establishments fell ill to dysentery caused by the Shigella bacterium over the course of eight weeks (2). These restaurants had serious infestations, particularly in the kitchen and dining areas, and the stomach contents of trapped roaches showed viable Shigella dysenteriae serotype 7 bacteria, incriminating the arthropods in the spread of the disease.

Hepatitis A virus

"Cockroaches were also suspected to be the cause of a hepatitis A outbreak in a Los Angeles housing project in the late 1950s. From 1956 to 1959, the Carmelitos Housing Project represented 39% of all cases of hepatitis A in Los Angeles County with numbers of the infected steadily increasing through the years (7). It was only until a full-scale cockroach control program employing a newly developed insecticide, the industrial silica aerogel Dri-Die 67, was the outbreak halted. Two years following the program, incidences of hepatitis A from the Housing Project dropped to 0.0% and cockroaches traversing between the sewage system and the Project were pinpointed as the source of the epidemic.

Rose spots on the chest of a patient with typhoid fever due to the bacterium Salmonella typhi. Symptoms of typhoid fever may include a sustained fever as high as 103° to 104° F (39° to 40° C), weakness, stomach pains, headache, loss of appetite. In some cases, patients have a rash of flat, rose-colored spots.

Excerpted from Everything You Didn’t Want to Know About Cockroaches By Rebecca Kreston:
"Typhoid patients in Italy were found to have cockroaches harboring S. typhi in their homes in a study conducted in 1943 (2). Similarly, the same organism was found in cockroaches infesting a Belgian hospital’s children’s ward undergoing an epidemic of gastroenteritis in 1950 (2). Most recently, outbreaks of Klebsiella pneumoniae in neonatal units have been tied to cockroach infestations in hospitals in Ethiopia and South Africa (8)(9). These studies indicate that cockroaches may play an unappreciated role in the epidemiology of infections in both the home and hospital.

"Though it’s difficult to say what part roaches play in small disease outbreaks, they are capable of harboring antibiotic-resistant bacteria. A 2012 study in Ethiopia looked at cockroaches trapped in a neonatal intensive care unit and found widespread multi-drug resistance among individual species of bacteria residing in the roaches. Reading the lists of antibiotics these bacteria were found to be resistant to is like a “who’s who” of the antibiotic world – ampicillin, augmentin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, amoxicillin, doxycycline, and ciprofloxacin (8). An earlier study in South Korea found that cockroaches trapped in homes located 3 miles from a hospital harbored bacteria that were resistant to anywhere from 6 to 12 commonly used antibiotics (3). These medications are the mainstay for treating bacterial infections and the discovery that cockroaches in hospitals harbor bacteria no longer susceptible to them is discomfiting to say the least."
