Guest guest Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Manning Stainton will expose you to the health risks of Toxic Mould! http://mrmould.livejournal.com/ Dec* 2nd, 2007 at 11:40 AM Unfortunately in the UK Toxic Mold hasn't got a very high profile and won't be taken seriously by local environmental authorities like the one in Leeds. They will visit a property but won't carry out any tests on the mold to establish the threat to ones health. They will write to the Landlord, but are not prepared to protect your life by forcing the landlord to fix the situation or even to carry our a legal prosecution. Mold spores Health problems associated with high levels of airborne mold spores include[1] allergic reactions, asthma episodes, irritations of the eye, nose and throat, infections, sinus congestion, and other respiratory problems. When inhaled, mold spores may germinate, attaching to cells along the respiratory tract and causing further problems in those with weak immune systems. Another serious health threat from mold exposure is systemic fungal infection. Immunocompromised individuals exposed to high levels of mold, or individuals with chronic exposure paired with mycotoxin exposure may become infected. Sinuses and digestive tract infections are most common; lung and skin infections are also possible. Alcohol and mycotoxin production may result from the fungal growth, leading to myriad symptoms. Sudden food allergies and digestive problems can mislead diagnosis. Treatment can be long-term (many years). Systemic infection may be of the environmental mold itself, or by other common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
