Mold Mayhem -more serious than you know
Washington, we are told was built on a swamp. It doesn't have the best air quality sitting in the middle of a valley beneath the Catoctin and Allegheny mountain ranges getting all of Pennsylvania's dumping industrial air flow when the winds blow downstream.
But who would expect the air quality INSIDE your house to make you sick? Apparently the Global Indoor Health Network does. (http://www.globalindoorhealthnetwork.com/) A number of court opinions appear under the "Personal Stories" tab of the above weblink.
And litigation is sprouting up across the country more and more as people become aware of something deadly lurking potentially in their homes: TOXIC MOLD. It can really disrupt your life. Actually it can kill you.
Water Damaged buildings that let water flooding just lie there and seep along unchecked can develop deadly mold conditions that cause health effects that are often misdiagnosed and mistreated as other ailments that look like something else, like Fibromyalgia, even Gulf War Syndrome or Chronic Fatigue. There are a host of things misdiagnosed for unrecognized toxic mold poisoning. Check to make sure nothing is leaking in your house- like a Furnace, or basement window-wells, old chimneys that puddle rainwater in hidden niches or deficiently installed plumbing joints by unlicensed plumbers in shoddy construction. You don't want leaks in your house. Or CONDO or Apartment. If you live in a Condo make sure the homeowners association or Condo Board knows to inspect for this with licensed knowledgeable remediator/inspectors.
If you have anything like the black mold Jennifer Aniston discovered in her Hollywood Hills house back when she and Brad were together, don't clean it yourself. Hire a professional remediator. This has to be treated in a special way to get rid of it. If you find yourself sick
after finding black mold anywhere in your house, see a doctor recommended by the Global Health Network familiar with these symptoms. You may also need a good lawyer. I know you know one.
