Okay , I posted my story on the Boston Globe.

September 14, 2005

In October of 2001, we had a small leak in the ice maker line of our

refrigerator. Our insurance company sent to us the cheapest, untrained and

uninsured remediators to handle the situation. These incompetents allowed the

water

to remain for six weeks with no drying out. They and the lab that was hired

to address the mold that was now present, botched the entire job.These idiots

came in looking real official in their HasMat suits, spore trap analysis

machines, and negative air machines. Instead of ridding the problem, the blew

mold spores throughout the entire house. They then falsely cleared our home

and told us it was safe for occupancy. By making the mold airborne and easily

inhalable, we got very sick. My daughter was hospitalized three times after

the incident. I got serious cognitive and neurological dysfunctions.Some

people (and physicians) think it is funny that mold is yucky on bread or that

" mold is gold " and a $500K settlement can make up for the lost health, fear

for your children, and devastation from having to walk away from you own

because you are not certain if the situation could kill your child. This

attitude

adds insult to injury of the situation by having your sanity and integrity

questioned while you are your lowest point. It is similar to making fun of the

Hurricane Katrina victims, who will now suffer their own insult to injury

because of the ignorance of many who do not know what they speak of regarding

mold, but choose to speak anyway. Sharon Kramer
