Guest guest Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Several of us at work have been sick...sinus infections, head aches,muscle aches, flu like symotoms, bloody noses, generally feeling fatigued. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I dont think thats my problem. Recently a 16 ft desk in the center of our workspace was replaced due to " swelling of the wood " When the workmen arrived to remove the desk, the access panels as well as the inside of the desk was covered in black mold. We had been complaining of an odor for over a year, as did everyone who came into our workspace. Since the new desks arrival things really havent improved very much. I am so tired of feeling this way, and am angry at my employer for not telling us about the possibility of mold exposure. (they had sent a maintenance worker in on a saturday to spray the interior of the desk with clorox months before we found out about the mold). They repeatedly deny any possibilty of mold in our workplace at present, say they have had it checked. I recently moved to a new department and my sinus symptoms improved greatly. I was transferred back into the " sick " area of the building for 1 week and have immediately had sinusitis again. Are there any tests that can be done to prove mold exposure? bloodwork cultures etc?
