Health Problems & Mold- Los Angeles CA

[Guest guest]

I was living in a condo in Culver City for 2 1/2

years. During this time I had several health problems

including hypothyroid and epstein barr. I am only 25

have lost a lot of my hair, weight etc. and have not

been able to attend class at USC for a year.

As my neighbor saw the movers leaving my place she

asked me why I was leaving. She told me that eight

years ago the roof was leaking and was fixed while it

was raining. Apparently water flooded the building.

People had mushrooms growing out of their floor. This

made someone so sick she was incapicated and she sued.

(This woman will not talk to me.)

I had a company come out and inspect my house. They

found mold in almost all of my walls. They also saw

obvious water damage. They are going to have to knock

all the walls down.

What I do not understand is if there is a problem that

made someone sick and could cause other people

problems why they did not make sure the other

residents are okay? I also do not understand why the

person who previously lived in the unit did not take

care of the problem?

When I spend time in my room I can tell the mold got

in my belongings because I feel ill. Almost everything

is still packed up and I am unsure about what to do

with my stuff. I do not want to take any chances

contaminating my Dad's house and also do not want to

further damage my health.

I have done some research trying to figure out what is

going on and if the mold could have possibly caused my

health problems. It appears that scientific research

has been done showing that mold can cause Epstein Barr

and Hypothyroid.

I feel that I am too young to have health problems

that keep me from being able to work and be in school.

I also have lost a lot of relationships because of

this and am about to loose a lot of my belongings.

Does anyone have research, links etc. about specific health problems

and mold? Also any suggestions about lawyers in Los Angeles, CA area?

Concerned about my belongings contaminating my Dad's house.

Personally would like to get a dumpster and get rid of everything. Do

not want to contaminate his house or make health problems any worse.
