History:
Lost my voice at a wedding in May 2008 and was without voice for four to five weeks.
Do date, I have never regained 100% of my voice.
Around September 1, I first started to notice smoke smell in my office that I could not identify the source of. My wife could never smell it. As the weeks passed the smell started to cause sinus burning and eventually grew worse followed by other syptoms below.
Reaction:
Chest burning and pressure
Throat burning and Tightness
Nasal burning
Eye burning
Hoarseness
Sinus headaches
General fogginess
Extended exposure:
Lung spasming
sore throat
voice loss
It took me weeks to narrow down where the fumes were coming from. I isolated to to my new Imac that I have owned since August of 07.
Installation of over $1800 in purification systems has not helped and my condition is worsening.
I have contacted Apple about the problem, but no response.
I think I am suffering from toxic poisoning and am considering paying another few hundred dollars to a testing company to find out exactly what toxin I have been exposed too so that I know which toxin to detox for.
I understand the the detox procedure is expensive and lengthly if I don't already have cancer from the toxin.
Is anyone else noticing a smokey smell like wood burning around their Imac or other mac computers?
If so, do you also notice a metal taste in your mouth?
Anyone else had a similar problem?

Not from the computer but from foam, microfiber, polypropalene, and much more. It is hard to tell people what it smells like or how it makes your mouth feel. Like its growing hair. Then it is burnt and peels.
Have you done the test yet? If so let me know the outcome. Rose
