Re: Ouestion for you ?

My Triglycerides were 1500 6 years ago but that was when I worked at

another facility. I work in an OR and feel that this elevation is due to

chemical inhalant exposure (methylmethacrylate--bone cement--used in total

joint surgery).

I am now on Tricor and Lipitor after years of trying low fat regime.

I have been at the same place now for 5 years and just got a diagnosis of

mold exposure acquired asthma and have applied for L & I. It has been a

horrible experience to get there. Last year I asked for allergy testing and

was astounded to find that I am highly sensitized to all of the molds that

was found in the chronically saturated locker room at work. I had asked for

testing to be done this past Jan. 2002 and it took until May 2 to get the

results. Management is insisting the area is safe because the air quality was

lower inside than outside. My HVAC engineer daughter told me that means there

is a blockage in the HVAC system. Strangely, management does not want to test

HVAC. Go figure.

Thanks so much for the information. I will pass this on to Dave. He is absolutely scared to death. He is our advertising agent for the National Toxic Mold Coalition. At least I can tell him you still alive when yours were that high 6 years ago. Thanks for the info. God Bless,
