Everyone is assuming that the health problems results from molds. There several different biocontaminants inside of water damaged structures.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 The first step to a diagnosis is to properly identify the contaminants in your building. This means culturing for both bacteria and molds. You must take the bacteria and molds to the species level. Also, take sufficient samples to test for mycotoxins. Once you have this information, then you will be able to direct your physician to do the appropriate diagnsosi for the organisms. I will give you an example below. I have been working with the family physician, the veterinarian and the industrial hygienist regarding a family in Hawaii. Interestingly, the industrial hygienist did not know what to do until I stepped into the matter with the insistance of the home owner. I have been working with a family in hawaii: Father, mother, boy and a girl and the wife is preganat. So far the diagnsositic tests have shown: 1. Aflatoxins and ochratoxins in nasal secretions (they all have chronic sinusitis) 2. Aflatoxins and ochratoxins in their urine samples. 3. Environmental (bulk samples) have revealed aflatoxins and ochratoxins in the environment, elevated endotoxins, several species of Aspergillus, Penicllium and gram negative and positive bacteria. A positive ERMI test. Bulk samples came from the crawl space, wall cavity and various rooms of the home. 4. The family is seeing Dr. Kaye Kilburn for neurological testing. The father has multiple areas of neurological dysfunction. The rest of the family will be undergoing the same testing in the next couple of weeks. 5. Interestingly their pet dog is extremely lethargic, sleepling 23 hours a day. Urine test on the dog showed the same mycotoxins as the owners. The dog contantly licked its paws to the point where they were soaking wet. The treating Vet said that paw licking in canines indicates the presence to something on the paws that the dog has detected. Paw licking in canines is taught in Verterinary school of one means to aid in differential diagnosis. Excessive paw licking indicates that the dog has detected or is detecting something foreign and toxic on its paws. 6. I suggest that all of you become educated in the complexity of damp indoor spaces. There is a symposium on molds and health edited by Dr. Kilburn that will be out in Toxicology and Environmental Health in the Sept/Oct issue, 2009. I have a paper in this symposium about the complexity of indoor spaces. Jack-Dwayne: Thrasher, Ph.D. Toxicologist/Immunotoxicologist/Fetaltoxicologist www.drthrasher.org toxicologist1@...

Fascinating about the dog, our Lab would constantly lick her paws and then she would run them down over her face and snout, we thought it had to do with her nosebleeds??

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 , Dogs and cats will lick their paws and run them over their face, to wash their face. That's very common but excessive amount could mean something. It could also be nervous issue or area bothers her. Cats will lick themselves alot if they get flea bites, just like we would itch exessively if our skin irritated us. I don't know if dogs lick their bodies since I have not ever had one but I have seen them lick their faces. > >Fascinating about the dog, our Lab would constantly lick her paws and then > she would run them down over her face and snout, we thought it had to do > with her nosebleeds??

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hi Barb, Yes of course I know, we have had dogs for many years but Remy would do it much more than that, she died last year from her exposure. She ended up having a large mass in her sinuses and our vet said after the autopsy that she had died from mycotoxicoses (a recognized disease for animals) which resulted in developing a cancerous mass, why they can't believe it can happen to humans too-just one more contradiction in recognizing our disease!! Thanks, . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Barb: Excessive licking of paws indicates that something is wrong and the something is not necessarily fleas. Excessive licking coupled with lethargy means something is wrong with the dogs and probably cats environment. This could be molds, bacteria, pesticides, new carpets or any of a myriad of toxic situations present in a home. If a canine is allergic to grass (which can contain a variety of toxins) then it will excessively lick its paws.
