Mycotoxins and Cross-Contamination -

[Guest guest]

Hey , everybody,

I've just had a disturbing experience and I'm wondering if it fits

into your knowledge base of mycotoxins. Trying to figure out if

something else is going on, or if we/they REALLY don't understand

this mold hell we're all living in.

I have been feeling pretty okay the last few months after a

work/home mold experience, involving stachy in both cases. I sold

my house last year and put most of me belongings in storage....wish

I had put them all in storage but that's another story.

Recently, I left a binder/papers in my hot car for a couple days.

This binder was never in my mold house, and I had xeroxed the papers

2-3x, but I xeroxed them while I was having a serious toxic reaction

and hotel hopping as Dr. Klein recommends.

BUT, I did also have a paper copy of my social security card in the

binder, which HAD been in my house. This binder had been in my

apartment for a few months, and I was having no trouble, except for

general allergy-type symptoms.

Suddenly a few weeks ago, I started reacting strongly again, in a

VERY toxic way, and I soon noticed every time I drove in my car, my

clothing was getting contaminated, to the point that people around

me were coughing, sniffling, sneezing, and rubbing their

noses...similar to Gerardo's experience.

THEN, I began noticing I was reacting in my work area, and others

around me began sneezing, sniffling, coughing. I spoke to one of my

co-workers who told me " something was really wrong with the building

all of a sudden " , so I assume he was probably experiencing more

toxic symptoms. There were probably 10-15 people that I think were

reacting, and probably still are.

Now I can't even drive in my car, even after repeated attempts to

clean and vacuum, spray with alcohol, vinegar.

What do you make of this? Anyone?

I had the portfolio tested for mold spores and it came back

negative. Unfortunately, when I tested it, I had removed the social

security card so I'm not really sure...but I tend to agree with you,

, that the spores aren't the problem. The gentleman at the

environmental company that did the testing, doesn't believe my

story, says it's not possible, and thinks I need to not think about

it for a week, and see if I feel better.

I've tried talking to the health dept regarding public health

issues, haz mat division, police, etc., etc., and either they tell

me it's not possible, or they think I'm crazy, tell me it's a

personal problem, refer me to someone else, etc., etc.

I'm tempted at this point to dump everything into another storage

unit, and try starting over, because now I'm also reacting

lightweight in my apartment, which has carpeted floors.

Does this sound like Mycotoxins? Something else? What do you think I

should do?
