Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 OK, a true allergy to fungi goes with AFS and ABPA. and atopy history. so these can accure anytime in life with atopy. tottally seperate is WDB exposure where along with tissue and organ damage, high dose exposure to certain molds cause hyper- " reactive " responces to these molds and maybe other molds as well, where allergic skin tests really may just show you are highly reactive but not a true allergy and where IgE and IgG type 1-anaphalaxis,2-cytotoxic,and 3-systemic levels would councel you out as having AFS and ABPA and a TRUE allergy exspecially if you have not atopy history. but what it may show is that you actually have a fungal infection and/or abcesses,cysts,ect. in the body that are fungal in nature, and/or repeated exposure to fungi with tissue/organ damage is about all it takes for fungal infection regardless of if you have abcesses,cysts,ect. also that may be a continuous reaccuring sorce of fungal infections that you do have a immune responce to, regardless of advoidance. now if you have fungi in the body, you well also continue to show mycotoxins from that fungi everytime it tries to colonize, right? ok, so I do have a theory that would be that tissue/organ damage obtained from exposure in a WDB and based how bad it is, well diffenitly play a hudge role on recovery, because of fungal infections both from inside your body,abcesses,cysts,ect. and repeated fungi exposures, and repeated chemical/toxins exposures. even with " extreme " advoidance, fungi trapped in the body with damaged tissue,organs is going to keep your body in a reaccuring reactive state because you well be having reaccuring immune responces to whats in your body. " allergic " skin responces from allergy testing and IgE in this case obviously have nothing to do with atopy and true allergy but may very well be a clue of fungal infection and specific,type 1,2,3 responces are important because that shows anaphalaxis,cytotoxic and systemic involvement. people with less severe tissue and organ damage, by removing theirselfs from WDB exposure with advoidance of fungi and chemicals may heal and CSM alone may be enough for them. and bacteria in WDB is important because bacteria's have also evolved to have ways of avoiding the immune system and inhibit certain immune fuctions. I mostly believe it's the toxins that do the tissue damage,but I can also see where high dose exposure to molds regarless of mycotoxins involved or not could overload your body and with fungal infection could get you to the same ending result and bacteria may play a even bigger role in this case for setting you up for this when there are no mycotoxins involved. ------- IEQ review,2007,AAAAI:FUNGI STAKE A CLAIM IN ALLERGIC http://www.imakenews.com/pureaircontrols/e_article000765053.cfm ALLERGIC FUNGAL SINUSITIS SOURCE: Dept. of Otolaryngology, UTMB, Grand Rounds DATE: FEBRUARY 7, 1996 http://www.utmb.edu/otoref/Grnds/afs.htm Sensitization to fungi: epidemiology, comparative skin tests, and IgE reactivity of fungal extracts http://www.aspergillus.org.uk/secure/articles/mari.pdf hyperimmunoglobulin syndrome/job's syndrome http://jmii.org/content/pdf/v37n2p121.pdf AFS http://www.drjaver.com/DrJaver/Allergic_Fungal_Sinusitis.html ALLERGENS,MOLDS. http://www.immunocapinvitrosight.com/dia_templates/ImmunoCAP/Allergen____28178.a\ spx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
