Guest guest Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I lived in a house for 12+ years with toxic mold in the walls, aspergillus and stachybotyrs. We remediated the house and moved to a new house. Now I am very sensitive to aspergillus and have horrible headaches when exposed to aspergillus even on high mold count days and in certain foods. I can not seem to avoid aspergillus. The headaches and extreme nausea are getting worse. I've had various surgeries and seen many neurologists, allergiests and other doctors the past 3 years since leaving our former house. The allergist said it is not a true allergy, but a type 2 reaction, and all I could do is avoid the mold, but that is impossible to do. Most doctors do not believe mold is causing my illness or that I am this sensitive to mold and if they do believe it, they do not know what to do for me. Is there anything a person can do once sensitized to mold? It is also in more foods and even many supplements, than most people realize. Anything fermented probably contains a fair amount of aspergillus so I have stopped taking most pills because of this condition. Most people have no idea how devastating this illness is. I basically can not leave my house and am afraid to eat most prepared foods and I feel sick most of the time. Are there any doctors in the US anywhere who are knowledgable about mold and how to help people who are sick from mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
