"What we need are fewer so-called experts and more funds for good
studies so that the experts can learn what the mold victims already
know. And there are many studies out there already to support what
we mold victims have experienced."
There are plenty of studies complete and underway. None, to my
knowledge, support the theory that mold exposure causes anything
greater than acute allergic responses. If you have some citations,
please share them. Massive exposures to mold through contaminated food
and/or agricultural exposure have been demonstrated in a vanishingly
small number of cases. Your reference to "good studies" seems to
include those that support your preconceived notions of cause and
effect. You may very well be suffering from serious medical
conditions, however your efforts to pin this upon exposure to "toxic
mold" are misguided, and will likely prevent you from learning the true
cause.
"I tell you what. Find a home full of mold, buy it, live in it for a
few years and then return to this site and let us know how you are
doing."
I have been exposed to mold for my entire life, as have we all. In
addition, my home has had chronic moisture issues over the past two
years. For my allergies, I take Claritan. My family and I are doing
fine, thank you.
