Guest guest Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 _Katrina Five Years After: Hurricane Left a Legacy of Health Concerns - Mental Health | Illness | Disorders - FOXNews.com_ (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,600309,00.html) " When Hurricane Katrina ripped through New Orleans, leaving a legacy of death and destruction in its wake, the storm's immediate effects were evident. But now, five years later, the long-term effects on the devastated population’s mental and physical health still linger. A study released this week linked the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history with a high incidence of anxiety in Gulf Coast-area children displaced by the hurricane, while another found increased sensitivity to mold in children with asthma whose homes were flooded.

I am not aware of any new CDC initiated studies of the matter or even any tracking of these illnesses. Nor have I seen any warning to the public regarding the potential serious health effects of inhaling mycotoxins. I guess the burden of proof will fall on the children of New Orleans.
