Guest guest Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 I did a search for tremors and mycotoxins. This is the most informative paper I have read so far! (http://cmr.asm.org/cgi/reprint/16/3/497.pdf) I began having small tremors head/ neck in 2005 and my co-worker in his hands as we compared other strange afflictions as migraines, general ill feeling, intestinal bleeding and fatigue, just to name a few. With the continious exposure for unknown years and then finally the " known exposure " to a solid 3ft x 2ft x 4 inch thickness of Solid Black-Green-Long and Hairy MOLD. I am left with Major Upper Body Tremors and the 1 and only piece of information I received, was from an Investigator from the Health Department, who was kind enough to share the results of his inquiries, which was, 1 reported case of Apergillus " F " and I dont recall if he said Fumigatus or Flavus. Does anyone know which 1 causes the tremors? And I suspect this MOLD was much more dangerous due to the fact that the water damage was due to a toilet overflowing many times with human waste over many years. BIO HAZARD !!! Yuck !!! I inhaled and absorbed through skin contact and probably ingested also since the Department would have their Celebration Pot-Lucks in this MOLD Infested Room.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Happyruiam: Thank you for your researched document. If the case you referred to in your discussion with the health department official was reported outside the United States, chances are that it was the Aspergillus flavus sp., if inside the U.S. it was more than likely the A. fumigatus species. Under certain conditions both species are capable of neurotoxic effects and tremors certainly can result from such exposures. Since the A. flavus species rarely is encountered in North America being more conducive to the climates of Asia and Africa. A. fumigatus is a species found throughout the U.S., and is implicated in disease more than any other species. (Source: Rowlands, DT (1986). An Introduction To the Study of Disease: Human Pathology.
