Re: Mystery illness strikes Glouco pathologist

[Guest guest]

my guess would be, it sounds like a low dose exposure to mycotoxins, possably

stachy or fusarium toxins in his basement. and it sounds like sometimes his job

is causeing a exposure of sorts too.

sounds like his activitys in the basement would have involved some chemicals

which probably added to his exposure making him more sensitive to the basement

contamination,myco's. I do believe basements exspecially can have a almost

invisable mold sorse that could be very hard to lay a finger on but a sorse of

myco's.

like where water may be coming up against the outside of a cement wall and

setting there. I've seen a situation like this and mold was growing on the

inside of the cement without ant possable water sorse except a cement slab

outside,patio, where it was unlevel and cause water to run up against the house

in this area. you wouldn't think it grows in cement but it sure appeared that

way.

if it wasn't actually getting through the cement it was causeing a sweating

effect or condensation effect. ?

Yes sounds like a sickbuilding issue but also could be exposure with chemicals

at work and in the basement. But if he is fine after sleeping in tent--

something is going on in the house.

I also had the cement problem. No water damage but cracks outside in the

foundation from trees and eventually indoor mold formed in basement walls behind

foundation and panelling.
