Sick student needs info....

[Guest guest]

Hi. I go to a Texas college which is very old and delapitated.

Black mold is visable everywhere, especially in all the bathrooms

and AC vents and dripping ducts. I have been so sick this semester

that I can only go to school and then come home and stay in bed until

I have to go back to school. I have been getting more lethargic and

depressed and also having severe constriction in my chest. I did

complain to the school and they have recently started closing off

mold infested bathrooms to the students. The school is now making an

effort to clean up the mold and gagging smell, however from what I

hear about the history of the requests and lack of action on the

school's part to remede the problems, I feel like I am being mislead

to an extent. From talking to the employees, the school has a

history of not acting when these issues have been complained about in

the past. And so I am writing to you all. What is a reasonable

amount of time for the cleanup to take place and how long should I

endure this illness before I seek further help for this situation.

My body is completely full, I feel like a sponge that can not have

anymore toxins. When I go to school now I wear a resperator mask.

When I take it off, even for a couple minutes, I have asthma like

symptoms and wheeze all the way home and immediately go to bed until

I have to go to school again. Can anyone relate to my situation and

if you have any information on my rights to go to school in a toxic

free environment, please let me know! I am in Texas. Thank you for

the time and I hope that I am able to get better and continue going

to school without being sick.
