significance of Farmer's Lung

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

A clarification regarding the significance to us regarding Farmer's Lung.

It has nothing to do with ever having lived on a farm, visited a farm or even

slept with a farmer! The point is that Farmer's Lung is a known and well

studied hypersensitivity reaction to mold. In it's initial stages it is

hypersensitivity pneumonitus. (breathing difficulties). In it's later stages,

it can

exhibit type III and type IV Hypersensitivity symptoms. (See Merck Manual)

Type III Hypersensitivity has to do with immune complexes. (These are all

the weird serious symptoms we are exhibiting from fungal exposure).

So the point is: They acknowledge Farmer's Lung is caused by exposure to

fungi.

They acknowledge Farmer's Lung causes serious

hypersensitivity illnesses.

They acknowledge farmers should avoid mold from

enclosed spaces.(silos)

They interchange the term Farmer's Lung with the

term Hypersensitivity

Pneumonitis.

They also acknowledge people exposed to molds in

their enclosed homes,

schools and office buildings get Hypersensitivity

Pneumonitis,

which is Farmer's Lung,

which causes known serious immune system complications.

So how is it possible that they are able to dispute that we are gravely ill

from molds in our ENCLOSED homes, offices and schools, when it is well

documented we get the same symptoms that farmers get when they are exposed to

molds

in their ENCLOSED silos? How are they getting away with feigning lack of

knowledge of mycotic illness from fungal exposure indoors? They have VAST

amounts of knowledge about mycotic illness from fungal exposure everywhere else

on this planet EXCEPT from our homes, our office buildings and our schools.

How is that logical? Could it possibly be that buildings have a direct

monetary value attached to their habitability and outdoor air does not? I

think we

are witnessing a whole new meaning to the term " political science " !
