Guest guest Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Do the Feds offer assistance to those in the agricultural industry that are affected by this? After all, the only scenario where they acknowledge the existance of the syndrome is in farm settings.

I do not know if the Feds offer assistance to farmers, but to say they only acknowledge this syndrome in a farm setting is not correct. They acknowledge it in many settings, including those that work within the remediation industry.(Thus the need for HASMAT Suits) There is valley fever, cork workers lung, air conditioner lung, Ohio Valley lung, hystoplasmosis, etc. These are all the same diseases, type III hypersensitivity brought on by excessive exposure to air borne fungi. Many of these are listed on the CDC site as known mycotoxicoses. In reality, the only area of toxicology and immunology that they do not acknowledge disease: is for occupants of homes, schools and office buildings. So if we are the only ones on this entire planet that do not become ill from excessive exposure to fungi, then why did NIOSH just come out with a statement that teachers are the occupation that have the highest rate of occupational asthma? This is ludicrious. Are we to assume that teachers get sick simply because they work in the building rather than live there? Remember, this is a study of occupational illnesses. Not an indoor environment study. They are fighting this hard and are getting away with this illogical position because there is too much financial liability to acknowledge we are sick from buildings that someone owns, insures, builds, lends on and sells. There is much political pressure from big businesses to have the treating doctors not acknowledge/understand we are gravely ill from indoor environments (Someone's property investment).

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 In the UK " Farmers lung " is a recognised occupational disease. Caused by exposure to mold aflatoxins present in wet hay.
