And I have all the paperwork, labs, x-rays and ect. to prove what I stated earlier in my comment I posted. I am the 28 year old, (now 33) who`s lung collapsed, there is no need to hide my identity, It`s too important of an issue because I was in the hospital for two weeks and about died from this. My children ages 15 months, 3 and 7 at the time, were severly affected from the exposure as well. My littlest one practically lived on prednlsone the entire time we lived there- he also had several immune system abnormalities on his lab work and chest x-rays, major respiratory and digestive problems and so many other things wrong, that at the time the doctors just kept saying it was a virus. (most are not aware of how to reconize this) not to mention the fact that I never mentioned the little room in the downstairs that had mold in it cause I wasn`t aware it was harmful to breath. besides the house was beautiful, and a little air freshner helped with the downstairs "basement smell"- which was actually mold. I made 25 trips to the e-r room or doctors office with my 15 month old son alone in 12 MONTHS, that is twice a month for the year we lived there. Not to mention the multiple trips for my 3 year old and myself made.We and every one of our bloodwork was compleytely normal when we moved there, just a month later it got more abnormal as we went. Had it not been for my husband taking a few classes on mold and their "byproducts" about 8 months ago, we would still be in the dark over WHAT was causing our health to deteriorate so bad. I am now 33 years old and lung tests reveal that my lung age is 62 years old. After just 4 months of living there i had my 1st. pneumothorax(chest tube not required), but my second came 8 months later which landed me in the hosp. for two weeks with chest tube and 1 gm. of I.V. Vancomycin every 12 hrs, and shots in my stomach every day of heprin. Now how can a completely normal family in good health(records to prove) go so out of wack in a short time like that if mold isn`t that bad? Especially if it is undetectable on an autopsy? I pray this will urge the researchers to look into this mold problem and the link it may very well have with SIDS. I have all the paperwork if it would be of any help to ANYONE looking to use it for research to help futher this study. please contact me at treecorp2004@yahoo.com
