Stachybotrys Induced Hemorrhage in the Developing Lung Date study started January, 1999; Date Study Completed January, 2004

Mold Exposure is perhaps the single most misdiagnosed illness in the United States. There are an estimated 57 million people in the U.S. that have been suffering from a mold related illness and are misdiagnosed.

The discovery of Mold Fine Particulates and their ability to cause disease and adverse affects in human health is the single most important medical discovery regarding Mold Exposure and Mold Sickness in the history of the science.

The affected individual developed symptoms approximately 55 days after exposure to a working environment containing significant fungal contamination. Initial symptoms included bronchitis, swelling, spastic colon, severe headaches, and fatigue.

Does it seem that no one will help you, or no one believes you? Testing for mold in the human body can change everything. If you are seeking legal damages or just want people to understand your mold sickness is real, you will need to be tested.

Objective: Review of symptoms, clinical abnormalities and laboratory findings of building occupants with abnormal indoor fungal exposure, primarily allergenic and toxigenic fungi (Stachybotrys atra, Penicillium, Aspergillus).

The objective of the study was to examine whether cognitive impairment was associated with exposure to Stachybotrys atra. 20 individuals were examined using a standard neuropsychological battery and a symptom checklist.

This report describes the methods and outcome of a physician-led investigation of occupants' prolonged, unexplained illnesses associated with working inside a large, modern office building.

The clinical presentation and course of individuals and families who developed illnesses related to non-infectious fungal exposures inside their homes is described. Occupants developed their illnesses shortly after their homes had been water damaged.

Mold is a fungal growth that grows easily in warm and moist conditions. Mold creates spores which are seed-like in their nature and contain chemicals that have a negative affect on a person's health.
