No shortage of moldy places here!

You've got a better chance in NV than NO, but

people who think that just moving to Nevada is a sure fire means to

escape mold are going to be disappointed if they move into one of our

many moldy places.

How long will they be able to blame it on stress?! Everything mentioned is

most likely due to exposure to toxic mold! The effects certainly will last

much longer than a few weeks more like a lifetime!

But what hurts the Gulf Coast most - and compounds the effects of

everything else - is stress, experts said.

" Stress isn't a strong enough word. I'd call it anguish, " Frumkin

said. " The level of grief and anguish there is palpable. "

People can't sleep. They don't remember meetings or what day it is.

Vietnam veterans suffer flashbacks and nightmares, psychologists

say.

Gasparrini, a Biloxi clinical psychologist, calls it " Post-

Katrina Stress Disorder, " in which residents suffer bouts of grief,

shock, rapid mood shifts, confusion, anger, marital discord, guilt,

escape fantasies and substance abuse.

" The effects are lasting longer than I suspected, " Gasparrini

said. " I thought everything would be back to normal in three to four

weeks.

In the NY Science Times this past tues, they had an article pretty

much putting to rest the idea that stress gives you cancer, or can

contribute to it. The cancer cells actually block the immune system,

plus no studies done have ever found a corellation between stress

and cancer. Maybe this will start the pendulum going in the opposite

direction, looking for some real biological causes of illnesses such

as mold, instead of " blaming the victim " for a stressfull lifestyle.

or assuming it is all in your head.

I have seen quite a few TV interviews with people in New Orleans and they have

a mask around their neck and other in the background are wearing masks. Not one

interviewer has asked why they are wearing the masks. Many may think it is

because of possible bacteria left over from the flood but It is because of mold

isn't it?

This is exactly what the World Health Organization predicted due to global

warming.

One has to wonder if the benefit to industry of being allowed to pollute is

worth the costs in human lives.

Eventually, whole countries may be submerged and the people in them forced

to flee.

For example, if the sea level rises much of Florida could be submerged..

Paradoxically, I read yesterday, Northern Europe could become too cold for

human habitation. Areas in the US Southwest could become too hot and too dry

to support much life.

There would be no way to compensate so many people. They will just have to

write it off.

Don't want to get political but the USA is I believe the only country in

the world to have declined to agree the KYOTO agreement.

I know those that know will accept the ramifications so WHO are only

reporting the obvious. What US citizens may not know is that ther USA

is trying to buy the unused

Carbon emissions from third world countries to supplement their own

deficit.
