Re: Can molds cause neurological disorders?

[Guest guest]

Yes it can, but we must not only focus on the mold there are other

environmental conditions that can cause similiar problems. As far as

testing, it would help to know what state you are in, but you can

search on your own for someone in your area and I would definately

start out with the IAQA. Just punch that into your search engine and

go to their website. It has a list of professionals by state.

We live in Northern Virginia (22192). I went to http://www.iaqa.org and there

is not anyone in our area. I am not giving up! I am on a mission.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Christy & To All New Members,

First, let me say Welcome to Sickbuildings, I am just sorry it is

under these conditions. There are alot of very helpful people here

who will be more than willing to share their experiences, failures

(so others won't have to have this happen to them) and expertise

with you (or anyone else for that matter.) When in doubt don't be

afraid to ask, even the simplest question (to some) can be very

important to you and others. That is how we all learn, especially

with this ever changing condition.

There seemed to be alot in the Virginia area, maybe not someone in

your town but perhaps close enough. Or if you are closer to the next

state you may want to click on that and see who may be close to you.

KC,

Owner
