phaeoannellomyces werneckil

[Guest guest]

Hi,

that is the name of the mold that is growing at my work. I had it

tested. It is not one of the " toxic molds " I guess. But, I have

many allergies, and chemical sensitivities, and it was making me very

sick, mostly neurological, depressed, irritable, confused. It also

exacerbated the joint pain reactions I get to fragrances and

petroleum products. Some headaches, too. It is better now, I found

out that there is a fan that vents to the outside and the smell of

mold is now almost gone. I am just wondering if anyone has any info

on this particular mold, or molds in general, other than the highly

toxic ones? Or is the " party " ' line pretty much that other than the

toxic ones, they are harmless, except to those allergic? And of

course, the traditional belief is that an allergy is pretty harmless,

albeit uncomfortable. Just take a pill, or inhaler, or steroid,

whatever. Get over it. Well, I don't do any of that, I'm recovering

my health naturally, by living in a healthier space, avoiding toxins

whenever possible, living naturally as much as I can with food, and

not poisoning myself with " health " and " beauty " and " cleaning " junk.

I also have a wonderful doctor, and am getting rid of my amalgam

fillings, and getting chelation therapy. All off the mold topic,

sorry. Anyway, does anyone know of any info re: this mold, or mold

in general other than the really toxic ones. I'm looking for

something that will show that this is unhealthy for anyone, not just

a person who has a compromised immune system. Or is it really only

bad for those with compromised immune systems? If so, I guess I will

just quit, and not try to make them do anything more about it.

Thanks in advance.
