Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I wanted to thank all of you for your advice. Here is the background.. Our mold exposure was breif compared to most others. We purchased a brand new RV in the state of Arkansas. From the day we drove off in it to make our way back to California, I was sick. After 4 weeks of complaining about a " musty " smell to my husband I asked him to pull the carpet back, just to see if we could find the source of the odor. Under the carpet was covered in Black Mold. It went up the wall (behind the wall paper) behind the electrical panel. So, our exposure was for 4 weeks. My husband myself and our 2 youngest children slept in it for 3 nights, and obviously made the drive back to california. The rest of my children were exposed daily. We bought the RV to be my everyday car (it's a small RV about 21 feet long), we have 6 children. So daily they were exposed, when ever we went anywhere. The levels of mold were tested and they were aspergillius/penicillium 21507- Cladosporium 5092- Stachybotrys 804 Even though our exposure was somewhat breif, 3 of us have suffered constant symptoms, all vary. My 5 year old with the neck pain...she is perfect in every other way. No complaints of headache, earache, nose issues. Just the constant neck pain at the base of her skull, numbness in her limbs and sharp pain in her eye. The symptoms come and go, except the neck pain, she says that it never goes away. She has had x-rays taken twice now and both were " normal " . She is seeing an orthopedic sergon/sports medicine doctor today. I'll keep eveyone posted as to what this doctor says. I hate to say it but I don't think that he will have any answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
