--S-A-- [SickBuildings] Mold & Your Health

[Guest guest]

Toxic mold is no joke! I lived in an apartment with a serious water leak that

the management ignored for 3 years. My husband got advanced emphysema

overnight. X-ray showed a " strange mist " in his lungs. Docs puzzled by it. He

died about a year ago of a stroke. I got toxic encephalopathy in that

apartment. Couldn't find a lawyer willing to sue apartment complex. All the

while, doctors insisted there was no such thing as toxic mold and wrote

" psychiatric " on my medical records, but not on my husband's. Years ago, they

would have wrote " hysterical " on a woman's medical record. I'm amazed and

disgusted that they are still refusing to accept that there is a such thing as

toxic mold. I am inclined to believe the building materials being used are so

heavily treated with chemicals nowadays, including fireproofing, bug-proofing,

etc. that ordinary molds have mutated into toxic molds. " Better life through

chemistry " is the old mantra. Bottom line is we both got VERY

sick in that leaky, water-laden apartment. Now, he's dead and I'm still very

sick one year after moving out of there.

We are bringing you a special report on toxic mold, and a local

woman who says she was poisoned by it. She's been called a fake and

a hypochondriac, but is there any truth to her claim? Mary Morrison

investigates in tonight's WJBF News Channel 6 Medical Report.
