Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 Look at my web site very carefully for information germane to your problem. Today, I am about 95% recovered from my exposure. I think I’ll wind up with a diminution in my lung capacity of 10- 15%. If, I had realized sooner what the web site explains, I know the speed of my recovery would have been more rapid and the degree more complete. www.stachy.5u.com ph P.

I finally got some info on the mold, not the type, because that would be too easy. The content tested in the room was 18,860 - 30,340 colony forming units per 200 sq. cms. I know this is elevated, but can anyone give me an idea how 'bad' or high this is? They have had the room professionally cleaned, but I am scared I will be re-contaminated if I try and get my things, mainly books and papers. They are re-testing for spores, but....any insight?

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2002 Report Share Posted August 17, 2002 The key issues are: 1. What species of mold was found. 2. What are your symptoms? bob shu wrote: Puffbu@... wrote: Hi.

They won't tell me, it is a big secret. 2. What weren't my symptoms? Runny red eyes, nose, headaches, hives, rashes, joint pain and swelling, hair fell out, digestive problems, rapid weight loss,and brain fog, were the major ones. I am almost recovered after three months out of the building, but still searching for answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
