Guest guest Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Individuals ill from exposure to water damage building (WDB) are always assuming that fungi are causing their health problems. This is not necessarily correct. WDB contain both fungi and bacteria and the by-products of the fungi and bacteria. Many of the bacteria are pathogens, e.g. Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Mycobacterium, Streptomyces. Therefore, the bacteria may be causing the infection, not necessarily the fungi. All of this is discussed on my web site: www.drhrasher.org Examining the eyes, note, throat, etc means they are looking for obvious problems, which may not be apparent. Listening to the lungs is for rales and bubbling sounds. This does not occur necessarily in Aspergillosis of the lungs. It is an attempt only to rule in or out possible pneumonia by listening for sounds in the lungs. Also, looking into the nasal cavity does not necessarily reveal chronic rhinosinusitis. I recommend that doing one's home work is necessary. Jack-Dwayne: Thrasher, Ph.D. Toxicologist/Immunotoxicologist/Fetaltoxicologist www.drthrasher.org toxicologist1@...
