Style Weekly posted my letter about mold

[Guest guest]

I decided to go to the Style Weekly in Va, to see if they ever posted

my letter to the editor and there it was. Cool

Mold Needs More Attention

Just because standards do not exist for mold levels does not mean it

is not very dangerous ( " Manchester Mold Sickens Woman, Suit Alleges, "

Street Talk, Nov. 9). Nothing to be fooled with. Governors all over

this country have had their mansions remediated, costing millions of

dollars.

The only reason there have been lawsuits is because landlords usually

just ignore the problem and leave tenants very ill. Believe me, the

lawyers are not standing in line to get these cases. It is very

difficult to get a lawyer that first knows about mold or is willing

to spend the money involved.

The only reason scientific evidence is not available is because it is

easier to look the other way. I have been ill for seven years and

since that time have read about courthouses, police stations,

firefighters, schools — the list goes on, with serious mold and

people very ill. Insurance companies have paid record claims. You

would think someone would do some research to get that scientific

evidence.
