The southern part of the United States is one of mold’s favorite places to live in besides the residents. Molds such as Stachybotrys, Aspergillus, Pencillium and Chaetomium can be found anywhere here; these molds rely on wet, humid environments, or moisture and a typical food source such as drywall, organic cotton, dust, wood, paper or other organic materials. These mold types can begin to grow on porous surfaces with high moisture content within the first 72 hours from our experience.
Histoplasmosis is contracted when you inhale the dust that carries the fungal spores. Its effect on the body can vary widely in severity from one person to another depending upon their immune system. People can be carriers and have no symptoms at all. Others can experience flu-like symptoms and mild respiratory infections. It becomes a problem in people who already have a weakened immune system such as individuals with Asthma and Allergies.
The same night the frantic homeowner called again and said they refused to cut holes in the walls saying they were experienced and had been doing this for a long time. They stated it was unnecessary to do this. I guess, that is how they get all their mold remediation work on the side besides drying houses down. We told the frantic homeowner to tell them to do it or remove the equipment and leave. Well, you know what happened next, they cut holes in the drywall but refused to cut holes in the ceiling saying the water will flow downward. More incompetence, guess they think people are stupid and will believe anything in a time of crisis.
Two days later, the same homeowner called again and said they were going to remove the dehumidifiers from the area. Our first question was, did they moisture test the walls and ceiling. The answer was no to the ceiling and then told her to call me back after they tested it. She called back and guess what they found, wet insulation and a wet drywall. The moral of this story is, do not trust certain water extraction companies and be leery of their financial motives in a time of crisis in your life. Had this job been done right, we would not have a job. We now are going over to inspect this home and test for mold thanks to their incompetence.
The fungus may affect the eye by causing small areas of inflammation. It also scars the retina. A Physician friend of mine told me that these spots are sometime called “histo spots” and can be found in both eyes. It can also affect your vision depending upon the location of the “histo spots”. The scarring of the peripheral area of the retina could possibly have little or no impact on the vision. If you are scared in the central area, it could possibily cause a blind spot. This can be diagnosed by a Ophthalmologist who is familiar with Histoplasmosis.
Advanced Medicine of New York is pleased to announce that it is now accepting new allergy patients. The approach will be comprehensive; including recommendations in diet as it reflects the patient’s particular allergy, a focus on natural supplements that support the immune system and fight off an allergic response, medications and/or intravenous treatments as needed, and with Sub-lingual Immunotherapy or allergy drops.
