Re: Test for Mold Exposure

[Guest guest]

In response to questions on tests recommended by NTMC,

for Mold exposure. First, always remember that even

Medicine is not an exact science.

If it were not important to have an IG or IGG test

then I would not have written it. I am not a medical

doctor however, I have extensive training in

disasters.

I also have two years nursing school and Paramedics.

My doctor did not know the test to run. I had to tell

him. Most family practitioners don't routinely even

suspect mold as the culprit. They are not highly

trained in that area. Not everyone has access to a

Toxicologist which would be the physcician of choice.

My Ig and Igg was highly elevated. One detects past

exposure and one detects current or ongoing exposure.

The inability to diagnose at all or incorrectly and

other reasons are why I have mal-practice suits going,

on my own case.

Certainly it would explain why the schools in Texas

where the mold is prevalent and causing health issues,

are only allowing those not involved in suits, to have

the tests done by the county. Those involved in suit

have to find other resources for the tests. Sad and

discriminatory.

By the way I am a Paralegal with 20 years experience

in Texas Courts, and as a former court appointed

investigator for both criminal and civil cases, as

well as insurance fraud. Does that help you guess my

age? Didn't drop off a turnip truck yesterday.
