Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 As we watch the rate of these reports increase, it is interesting to watch the mentality of those who believe that the phenomenon is self limiting. The rate of increase itself makes a statement. Remember when AIDS came to public awareness and physicians said " AIDS is not a threat. There are only a few hundred cases which are limited to homosexuals. Your chances of getting AIDS is less than one in a hundred million. There is nothing to worry about. " And now with Avian Flu, we see physicians saying that only a few hundred people have died thus far, so Avian Flu is nothing but Hype and Fear Mongering with little to worry about. They fail to see the potential inherent in the phenomenon. Their mentality confuses the limited numbers of afflicted at the beginning of a paradigm shift as a measure of future destruction. The potential for disaster is seen in the pathogenic nature of the organism. If it spreads in an unstoppable way, common sense would seem to say that the phenomenon is relatively unstoppable - despite how few people were involved at first. The hopefulness that biotoxin mediated illness is just going to mysteriously limit itself solely to inhabitants of sick buildings is based upon nothing more than wishful thinking. When people finally realize the potential of spore plumes to strike from afar and settle upon houses with no amplified mold growth, then they will start to get a sense of what we are truly facing. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 *GLOBAL WARMING* is a crucially important factor in the spread of mold illness,, The WHO in a recent report said this. Also, a lot of recent works on economics have done a good job f exploring the relationships between climate and health/mortality. One reason the temperate (cooler) nations have historically done far better economically is that cooler climates are healthier in many ways that relate to bacteria and mold. Tropical areas have a plethero of diseases that are associated with rampant, year round rainfall, massive storms and rainfall, and mold growth.. Those diseases are migrating away from their usual habitat as climates change.. just as the temperate belt is migrating northward (in the Northern Hemisphere) In tropical areas, society has had to devote a substantial amount of resoirces to dealing with these issues, and there is also a cumulative and incalculatable loss to society of productive lives and the investments in their education, raising, etc. as people die of preventable diseases.. (Also, the heat makes it harder to work, productively, as well, without energy expenditures for cooling..) There are also places in some countries that were once inhabitable but which are now too hot or dry for human habitation, except at an unacceptably high cost. Fires as the biomass adjusts to the new climate conditions (ie. dry earth burning) are also common. Mold disease is just one part of this.. Its one we need to be much more pro active about, though.. Its not a new thing.. and also building codes have been around for a long time as well.. (since the Roman Empire, and probably before that, even) .....
