Re: question about the skin rash

[Guest guest]

Does the skin rash I have seen so many talk about itch really bad in spots, may

or may not make a small rash with little bumps that disappear in a few hours? I

have had really itchy skin today and developed some sort of rash for the first

time. I could breathe better today at work because the air conditioner was

turned down much lower than usual. I wonder if that is there way of taking care

of the problem. Also how do you know if the mold is toxic black mold? I found a

ceiling tile with mold growing on it today and it was black. Does anybody know

of a place to send it for testing or how to look at it and tell...

Laurie, the skin rash that I had at first was like raised goose

bumps that itched a lot. I was in a training class of 30 people and

almost all got the itchy goose bumps the same time. A year later new

classes got the same rash, they called it hives. We believe it was

reaction to something in the AC/vents. It went away after a few

days, (but some people had it longer),this rash appears every so

often on us, but not as bad as the first time.

I also had a second rash months later that was bright red and was

raised patches that were rough to touch. They were stinging like a

bee sting does. The red rash was in three separate patches on my

legs 2 " -4 " size . Two others that I worked with had the same red

rash but we all had it weeks apart, Kathy had it all over her torso

in large patches 5 " -8 " size (front and back), all over her

upper arms in patches 3 " -5 " size. Kathy had it the worst, she was

off work for a week with it. We heard of others having the same red

rash on other parts of their bodies. The red rash went away after

about 1-2 weeks.

After a discussion at work during a break, it was discovered that

most people at work got the itchy goose bump rash shortly after they

started working in this building. This rash was not bright red like

the other second stinging rash.

As for the testing of the mold, It is best if more knowledgeable

people on this board reply on how to get that tested where you are

at as I am in Canada and we have different depts up here that do the

testing.

I use zinc oxide for my rashes. It comes and goes and is on the trunk

of my body.
