Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 We all know there are now quite a few scientific studies that clearly demonstrate the capability of Stachybotrys and other toxic molds to produce trichothecene mycotoxins in damp buildings. Since it is well-known that these toxins have HUGE potential for cross-contamination, I wonder if there is any study that was done on cross contamination? For instance, let's say there is a commercial building with offices. Let's say it has sustained a moisture problem and the presence of stachy and its mycotoxins is established. People come to work there every day and when they return to their homes they would cross-contaminate them, right? Furthermore, if the building in question is something like a bank or tax administration office, it stands to reason to suppose that everyone who comes inside, every person that has some business to do there, can potentially become a carrier of mycotoxins and cross-contaminate his/her apparment. Has anyone tried to scientifically investigate and to prove that such sick buildings can really cross-contaminate other buildings that do NOT have problem with moisture? Just by spreading on people's belongings / clothes? If you know about it, please post it. Even if it must be bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
