She was a regular at the local emergency room. An explanation came when she had the house inspected. It was infested with potentially toxic molds, including a strain thought to produce carcinogenic chemicals. Lillard- isn't alone. According to the Insurance Information Institute, mold-related insurance claims rose dramatically in 2001. And some insurers have excluded mold coverage from their policies in some states.
