Dear Sirs,

In light of the current conditions in New Orleans and suffering

throughout the United States I feel it is my duty to send to you my

story of toxic mold illness. I have been working in the basement of

an office building for almost 9 years. I have constantly complained

about the conditions there as water leaks into the space frequently

when it rains. As a consequence, copious amounts of mold has grown,

been removed by everyday means, regrown, and so on. There are many

people who work there that are ill with autoimmune diseases, and few

of them know the cause. The company frowns upon those challenging

their authority: those working there are afraid to complain for

others who have in the past have been terminated.

I have had psoriasis for many years. When I began working in

said building, I did not have arthritis. Since that time, I have

been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, and frequently my fingers

swell up to inanimate proportions. I simply thought of it as a

continuation of the psoriatic condition, but have only recently come

to realize it is as a result of the toxic environment in the

building in which I work. I have developed mental acuity issues,

noticeable visual changes, occasional slurred speech, night sweats,

shortness of breath, fatigue, chronic sinus congestion, sinus pain,

clogged ears, closing throat, trouble assimilating new knowledge,

trouble with math, and a marked loss of libido. Over the course of

the years, my health has steadily declined. Earlier this year my

symptoms hit an all time high, I hit an all time low, and that's

when I started researching mold illness. The mental issues and

depression from not being able to function as normal hindered my

efforts to educate myself. My persistence and determination fueled

by my desire to make myself well has kept, and continues, to keep me

going.

Through countless hours of research I have come to the

conclusion I believe any reasonable, rational person would: TOXIC

MOLD CAUSES HUMAN ILLNESS. It is undeniable in study after study.

A recent example is an NIH study published 2005. It too makes clear

the link to toxic mold and illness. By sending those people back

into New Orleans we are sending them toward impending doom.

Unprotected by either knowledge or material, the clean up process is

going to expose them at worst to life threatening but at least to

life altering levels of toxins. Our government needs to do more

to recognize, educate, and help itself and the public to understand

the dangers and illnesses associated with toxic mold.

I do not feel the government is acting to protect its people as

it is bound by the constitution to do. In light of overwhelming

evidence, there are still no levels defining maximum safe exposure

or air levels for toxic mold as we do for many other substances.

The time is now to get the ball rolling. We all understand the

liability associated with simple recognition that toxic mold is a

dangerous substance to many industries is enormous. We cannot let

that stop us from getting to the truth and helping the American

people. The truth simply is. No matter how we try to alter or

otherwise spin it, hide it, or bury it, the deception will

eventually erode leaving only one thing: TRUTH! For all those

suffering, let us work together to expedite the process.
