Guest guest Posted February 19, 2002 Report Share Posted February 19, 2002 Please help, I'm new to this. If you know of any articles, research or lawsuits related to exposure to toxic mold and miscarriage and fertility problems as a result of exposure, please send them or post them. My husband and I rented a house that had massive amounts of mold in the kitchen and downstairs bathroom. The landlord and property managers conceiled it and painted over it and the house smelled like paint when we leased it. They also put in new carpet and did several other cosmetic improvements to deceive a tenant. Advertised the house as " just like new " . I got pregnant immediately after moving in and also become sick at the same time. I suffered a miscarriage a week after we moved out. The landlord and property managers refused to admit the house was uninhabitable. The previous tenant lived with the problem and according to neighbors is cronically ill. At great expense my husband and I hired an environmental company, that told us the kitchen and bathroom need to be destroyed at minimum. We moved out immediately and with no place to go we were forced to move all our posessions into storage and vacate the house 5 weeks after we moved in and move into a hotel to protect the health of our son, he's 2 now, and our unborn child, but it didn't help. I still suffered a miscarriage. It's also taken me months to feel half-way normal again. I appreciate any information you have. It makes me sick to think that these people are going to get away with this if I can't find an attorney that understands miscarriage related to toxic mold exposure. Thank you for your time.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 I personally have fought this mold ordeal and fought the State of Texas and Farmers Insurance, after 7 months of fighting, leaving my home and all of my belongings behind 4 months ago, I finally retained a lawyer, and I think that has been the best move that I have made so far. Insurance comapnies and the state that you live in don't care and just want you and your claim to go away. At least my state and insurance company have done that. I hope that you and your family return to good health, and have good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: catdogtreemouse Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 1:57 PM Subject: [] mold as a cause of miscarriage Please help, I'm new to this.
