question - do many people here live in the kinds of houses in this Business Week article?

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone!

I just saw an article in BusinessWeek today about many of the problems

with the new home builders and how many homeowners who have been

burned are setting up websites. Knowing now that exposure to

toxinogenic fungi has a strong statistical association with autoimmune

diseases like sarcoidosis (for example, my ex-rommate now has ceiliac

disease and I also sick and am in the process of trying to find out if

I have sarc.. ) I am wondering if many people with sarcoidosis have

experiences with living in any of the developments or kinds of homes

described in this article or the web sites they list.... good or bad..

Last year when I was traveling I saw lots of these new developments

being built, hundreds of homes at a time, and often they would just be

all standing there all bare studs with no rain protection at all over

them (tarps, etc) in the middle of huge downpours.. water pouring down

into the wood.. etc. No attempts at all being made to keep them dry! I

was just flabbergasted..

(That is not exactly a normal or safe building practice!)

Now I see what happens.. Look at the photos in the slide show..

My question is, does that kind of exposure make people ill with sarc?
