No kidding. No Biter's above getting woozy from fumes caused by conventional paint, and even when you can't smell it anymore, chems continue to set off gas. Avoid seeing spots by opting for naturally vibrant paints for your next home makeover.

The Benefits
• The shade you're into. Eco-paint's available in every color under the sun - you can even bring a standard paint swatch, and most hardware stores will create a color-mix based on the swatch number.
• Avoiding volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are linked to headaches and nervous-system damage, and offgas even after paint dries; harsh ingredients in regular paints (such as benzene and formaldehyde) can trigger asthma and allergies.
• The eco-friendliness. One gal of conventional paint that's not properly disposed of can seep into the earth and pollute 250,000 gal of drinking water.
