Symptom Checker
1. Bruising on your legs: Due to bumping into junk.
2. Poor physical appearance: Because you can't find your clean clothes under the dirty clothes.
3. Weight change: Your kitchen counters are covered with stuff, so you eat a candy bar.
4. Poor circulation: Because your windows and doors are closed to prevent people from seeing your mess.
5. Body odor: You can't bathe because your bathtub is filled with craft supplies.
6. Strange discharge: You have clothing hanging out of crammed drawers.
7. Bloodshot eyes: Because you can't find your bed under all the junk.

Junk Level
Can you determine your junk level? We hope you have yet to reach level four or five.
Level One--Junk is not excessive; all doors are accessible. No odors, and the home is considered safe and sanitary.
Level two--Junk inhabitants two or more rooms, light odors, overflowing garbage cans, and light mildew in the kitchen and bathroom. One exit is blocked, some pet waste, and limited evidence of housekeeping.
Level Three--One bedroom or bathroom needs repair; little evidence of housekeeping, heavily soiled food preparation area, strong odors, excessive pets, and visible junk outdoors.
Level 4-- Sewer backup, hazardous electrical wiring, flea infestation, rotten food on counters, and pet damage to the home.
Level Five-- Rodent infestation, kitchen, and bathrooms unusable due to junk, human and animal feces, and unworking and water service.
