Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Posted February 10, 2006 http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/104/4/964 Very interesting. Too long to cut and paste so please read the entire report. " Recently, Stachybotrys atra, a toxigenic fungus, has been implicated as a potential cause of pulmonary hemorrhage/hemosiderosis in infants living in water-damaged homes. Although epidemiologic evidence supports this association, neither the organism nor its toxic products has ever been recovered from humans. We report the first case in which Stachybotrys was isolated from the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of a child with pulmonary hemorrhage. Stachybotrys was also recovered from his water-damaged home. The patient recovered completely after his immediate removal from the environment and subsequent cleaning of his home. This case provides further evidence that this fungus is capable of causing pulmonary hemorrhage in children.

The went into my body by inhalation and ingesting them. The toxins went systemic into my bloodstream and the rest is sad history!!!! :-( No disrespect taken.) Marcie erikmoldwarrior <erikmoldwarrior@...> wrote: Does this mean " lesions resulting FROM Stachbotrys (exposure) or lesions OF Stachybotrys fungi? A claim of actual Stachy tissue infection would be a VERY curious thing. When I told my brother that I was unable to remove Stachy toxins from various shop tools, what he " heard " was " Stachy mold can grow right inside solid steel " , and he still insists that this is what I claimed. When I ask " Why would I tell YOU that mold can grow inside solid steel at the very same time when I was writing in various groups that decomposing nonviable spores release their low molecular weight toxins which adsorb onto smooth structures via Van Der Waals forces and cannot be washed off? And he says " I don't know. You tell ME why you would say such a stupid thing " . Sheesh! - > I'm curious and I mean no disrespect. I also understand the > seriousness of mold exposure. However, Stachybotrys is a very finicky eater, limited to cellulose. It also has a defined temperature and moisture range. Did your doctor explain how Stachybotrys can grow on human tissue at 98 degrees? We need to know this. > > Carl Grimes > Healthy Habitats LLC > Quote
