Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Doesn't mycotoxin exposure CAUSE immunosuppression? Yes, it does, but am not sure the courts have recognized this yet. ~Haley salzberglver3 <salzberglver3@...> wrote: This publication states to report mold problems to administrator...Did that...then report the problem to OSHA...did that one. My OSHA inspector promised testing, investigation for years only to say at the end that the visible mold was NOT tested because he couldn't get access from the school to the locked up moldy skylights. He stated he couldn't test the falling ceiling tiles, couldn't disturb property, didn't have a moisture meter, etc. Bottomline...he told me, " I'm sorry, but it's all political. " That should be published here as well! The maintenance reports subpoenaed by the court told a different story. Can't OSHA be held liable for the lack of protecting the worker? That IS their job right? I'm really getting tired of publications like this saying that mold/mycotoxins can be a problem for people with underlying illness like AIDS, recent surgery, etc. I didn't have immunosuppression prior to my exposures. Anyone else? Doesn't mycotoxin exposure CAUSE immunosuppression? I was not disabled prior to going out on WC. Another thing this publication states is that mycotoxins don't usually present problems in the concentrations seen in residential and commercial buildings. WHAT??? I thought we don't have a standard in the U.S. for HOW MUCH mold/mycotoxin exposure is harmful. The level of mycotoxins in my building did cause my disability. The concentration DID present disabling factors for me. How about for others??? Maybe we should edit their next publication for them. ~Haley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
