requesting info on dry rot and health symptoms

[Guest guest]

Does anybody have any information of the health hazards of living in a

house invested with dry rot? I live in France and my laywer says that

if I can find this linkage I can eventually claim for rent payments if

I move out during what is to be a long legal process (2-3 years?)to

nullify my purchase of the house. Since moving in 2 years ago I'm had

acute thyroiditis (now chronic), depression, and permanent sore throat

and a tight chest.

thank you for any suggestions!

You will need to swab some samples of the mold and send to a lab for

identification. Here are links to some labs over here in case you don't

know of any good ones in France.

Dear ,

Thank you for responding and for your links. Another question: do you

know what kind of mold " merulis lacrimans " or " serpula lacrymans " is?

have you ever heard of it?

Sorry, Christy, I don't. Someone on this list might know.
