Re: mold and tick borne diseases

[Guest guest]

In a Check out _www.biotoxin.info_ (http://www.biotoxin.info) for some

good information for both.

Hi. I am new to the group. Have confirmed mold in my home and have a

family member who is suffering from chronic Lyme disease as well as other tick

borne diseaes. Anyone in this group have any information and/or experience

with this? Thanks. Sheila

[Guest guest]

Can you say more about how mold was confirmed? Is it visible?

Can you smell it? Or is it only from testing? If from testing then

the results may or may not be true or accurate.

Sheila,

That's eight months of dampness. It only takes a few days for the

mold AND bacteria to begin growing and amplifying at a faster

rate. This is no longer just a water damage problem or a mold

problem but a " filth " problem. I'm glad testing confirmed mold

because most mold tests have errors on the side of not finding

mold growth. Also, insurance companies usually interpret all but

the most obvious results as " not a problem " or " inconclusive. "

Because lyme is, and mold often is, a biological toxin your body

may be receiving a double exposure. You can stop one but the

other keeps you ill. You can stop both and most quickly recover.

But if you don't then you need Ritchie Shoemaker's book Mold

Warriors or go to his Web site

http://www.chronicneurotoxins.com Take the VCS test (about

$15) and if you meet the screening criteria then you will know why

you don't recover from either and will need medical intervention in

addition to repair and remediation of the house.

To stop the exposure to the mold and other " filth " from the long

term dampness you need to stop the water. Then remove

damaged materials or those with visible growth. Remove other

mold growth and the settled spores. Usually if the mold is

removed the rest of the components of the " filth " is removed also.

Find a company who is familiar with and has successfully

complied with the ANSI-IICRC S520 Standard and Reference

Guide for Professional Mold Remediation.

Because you are having health effects from the moisture, mold,

filth, etc, the clearance criteria for verifiying the job is successfully

complete must include any health effects and complaints caused

or made worse by the situation. (But reactions not caused by it

won't go away).

Therefore, do not rely solely on a mold test to determine the job is

done. Mold tests only find mold spores and not the other half

dozen components of mold also causing problems. A mold test

won't find the bacteria which grows along with the mold. A mold

test won't find an odor if the odor persists. If the remediator or

adjustor can't smell it that is irrelevant if you can. A final mold test

may help but it isn't definitive.
