(OTCBB: EFSF - News) announced today that laboratory testing confirmed that the Big Six Germicidal product kills with 100% efficacy " Black Mold, " whose clinical name is Stachybotrys chartarum. He pointed out the environmentally safe product's potential usefulness in killing Black Mold in hurricane-devastated areas of the Gulf Coast. ADVERTISEMENT Stachybotrys chartarum, also known as Stachybotrys atra, is a greenish-black mold that can grow on material with a high cellulose and low nitrogen content, such as fiberboard, gypsum board, paper, dust, and lint. Growth occurs when there is moisture from water damage, excessive humidity, water leaks, condensation, water infiltration, or flooding. Constant moisture is required for its growth. (Excerpt from Air Pollution and Respiratory Health Branch, National Center for Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), www.cdc.gov.) Aerobiology Laboratory Associates, Inc. (http://www.aerobiology.net/), microbiology specialists that assist Indoor Air Quality professionals in all aspects of work-related environmental microbiology, completed the testing at their St. s, Missouri laboratory facility and confirmed results that the Big Six Plus Germicidal had a 100% kill rate on Stachybotrys chartarum. The Big Six Plus Germicidal product, which is non-corrosive, non-carcinogenic and non-toxic, is a " safe " solution to killing Black Mold. It can be used as an environmentally friendly alternative to the typical methods of eradication: commercially available chemical products and bleach solutions. For larger affected areas, professional chemical clean-ups are required in order to clean out and dry the area properly so as to avoid allergic reactions to residual parts of dead mold and recurring mold contamination if there is still a source of moisture. " The killing of Black Mold by our Big Six Plus Germicidal is a very significant finding since it has been confirmed that after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Gulf Coast has been grossly affected by this type of toxigenic mold. Our environmentally-friendly product would be effective in alleviating the current mold problem in the Gulf Coast, " stated Mr. Bowker.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 It's a loose loose proposition because leaving the spores alone, they duplicate. The mycotoxins do not but they are poisonous. We can't win!!! Loni Bob <blue74730@...> wrote: I did not see where anyone commented on this product.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Bob, I can't speak for others, but I didn't reply because this issue, like ozone, is pretty much a dead horse by now. Dead horses can't hurt you but dead mold can and will. Even if the mold is dead it still has to be removed, so remove it. Dr Rice is correct, but many of us got sick before the natural process of degradation was over. Several here can attest to a year or more before they can tolerate mold contaminated belongings. Or, the degradation never happened because the moisture source was still present and the growth continued. There are over 20,000 kinds of black mold. Stachybotrys is actually greenish-black and sometimes white and sometimes does not produce mycotoxins. The methods to remove mold do not change with the type of mold. That is no different than using one vacuum cleaner to remove particles whether they are dirt, cat dander, dog dander or snake scales. You don't need a different machine for each. Same with washing your hands to remove " germs. " You don't need to kill them first either. Killing mold first doesn't make it easier to remove but it does increase the cost and effort. The one exception is for infections. An infection is when bacteria, virus or mold gets inside the body and begins growing. If the organism is dead, it can't grow and cause an infection. However, infections are rare - not impossible as some in this group will attest - but they are by far not the first concern. Money for many is a critical shortage and most all cases can be remedied without the expense of infection control, especially if you are not yet immune compromised. If you are, that is a different story. Even so, the mold still has to be removed, the moisture stopped and if it is gone there is nothing to kill. If it stays dry nothing more will grow. Finally, most of the methods for killing mold are themselves a chemical exposure. You can also read the archives for previous details by many of us on this issue.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Thank you! From what i've read the dead mold dust has to be physically removed from the building, or else the trichothecene-toxin-laden dust becomes a serious health threat as it becomes increasingly pulverized. It gets stirred up by the wind when it is dry and the cytotoxic (cell killing) activity of the dust remains substantial, even at very low concentrations. (its a non-linear effect, you need a big reduction in dust to get a much smaller reduction in cytotoxicity.) The amount of time it takes for stachbotrys dust to become 'nontoxic' i am sure is much longer than one year. Trichothecene mycotoxins are stable, I am pretty sure. If kept dry, once created by molds, they could last for decades. Thats why people are strongly encouraged to clean up leaks quickly! The viability of spores declines with time, however. Like a seed being less and less likely to germinate as it dries out. However, *some* spores found inside the Egyptian Pyramids did germinate after thousands of years. On 11/22/05, Carl E.
