Fw: Please post on Sick Buildings, no T-2 indoors

[Guest guest]

It is true that Fusarium is found in water damaged buildings. It is true

that certain types of Fusarium produce T-2 toxin. But, as far as I am

aware, T-2 Toxin has never been found in water damaged building materials.

This is according to Dr. Chin Yang, Dr. and Dr. Straus.

Fusarium produces several types of tricothecenes. T-2 is a type of

tricothecene. But not all tricothecenes are T-2.

In other words, an apple is a fruit but not all fruits are apples. A T-2

is a tricothecene but not all tricothecenes are T-2.

If anyone is using testing for T-2 Toxin and then claiming that finding

this in one's blood is proof of exposure in a water damaged building, they

they have an uphill battle to claim that is science....is how I understand it.
