Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Letter I sent to Channel 6 news station here in Maine...wanted to share I guess Janet My name is Janet s and I live in South Berwick Maine. I have been fighting the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and US Dept of Labor Workerrs comp since last April. I am severely allergic to mold from a TOXIC MOLD building basement on the shipyard. An Environmental report stating this place is full of Stachybotrus and Aspergillus and many more was HIDDEN for NINE months. I started with sinus,then hives then asthma and now wear a 3m mask all the time as I smell mold in the dirt outside. The shipyard has tried to prove me crazy, now that I called OSHA they have put out paperwork that you need latex suits and respiratory quals to go down there, but thw US Dept of Labor says I am lying, mold showed up last season, I used too much nose spray. I have tests, doctors letters, shipyard emails, all documentation.I live in my apartment safe rooms with hepa filter air cleaners right now on admin leave. OWCP wants me to see THEIIR doctor anf get tested but I have two doctors letters stating that if I am, I may possibly worsen my deteriuorating condition. I do not walk well from a hiugh dose test in Boston from a doctor who says NO ONE gets sick from mold. I even have a witness testimony to that. I ended up on ER again the other night from asthma attack.They want me to sign off on disability. I cant. HOW DO THEY get away with hiding somethiung that SAYS people should be told, that this place was unacceptable, that is was serious enough to cause respiratory disease. I now live in inhalers and NEVER BEFORE had asthma in my life. I worked in this black mold basement eight years then last three above it with holes in the floor for wiring and open stairwell and freight elevator. I have all documentation to prove. I hired a lawyer for a civil suit but not one lawyer will helkp with workmans comp there. I have involved Senator Snowe. My agency and OWCP send lies.I chop up the letters and send them back. You would not BELIEVE the lies and cover ups from the Federal Govewrnmant. Anyways, I am a single mom who has lost her whole life and very sick and bitter and fraustrated. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Sincerely, Janet s 55 Front Street Apt 5 South Berwick, Me. 03908 207 384 2242 Gingersnap1964@...
