Aspergillus can destroy the lungs of eagles

[Guest guest]

Wow! Aspergillus can destroy the lungs of eagles, but the insurance companies

and the CDC (and people like Dr. Baden) say that toxic mold can't harm

the lungs of humans or small children--like Ms. Gallishaw's infant daughter.

Disgusting!!

Here are a few excerpts from this article:

" Lead poisoning attacks eagle hearts and other organs and makes the

birds susceptible to aspergillus, a fungus that can destroy their lungs

and leave the raptors gasping for air. "

" Three of the four lead-poisoned eagles the Stamys treated over the

past year had to be euthanized because their organs failed. One of the

birds contracted aspergillus. "

" " We had to euthanize the bird with aspergillus, " Stamy said.

" It was gasping for air and the inside of its mouth had turned blue "

due to lack of oxygen. "
