Hello - Wondering if anyone knows about postmortem testing

[Guest guest]

Hello all:

I lived last year in a building that had horrible mold in the

apartment below mine. I had extreme fatigue, dizzy spells, numbness

in my extremities, loss of balance, burning eyes, memory/focus

problems and other frustrations and annoyances. But my experience

was very limited compared to my neighbor downstairs who developed a

seizure disorder, fungal skin sores (as did his dog), and asthma. He

died unexpectedly last fall at 36. His mother, who had similar

symtoms to mine, feels in her gut that mold led to his death and we

have been wanting to do forensic blood/tissue testing.

Has anyone had experience with this? We've found a couple labs that

deal with live folks. We've written to hundreds of colleges and

universities and people labs and livestock labs/schools and the CDC

and public agencies in several states, and folks in Canada and the EU

and mycologists and forensic pathologists and anyone else I stumbled

upon over the last few months. The most common answer I have

received is to look in the yellow pages.

If anyone has any suggestions from their own searches I would be

enormously grateful.

Thank you,

-Haley
