Mold questions

[Guest guest]

I work in a building that has severe water damage. The bottom level

flooded over 4 years ago and they just posted a keep out sign. Wall

to wall black mold grew with mushrooms. They finally used bleach and

cleaned it up about 6 mos. or so ago. Additionally there was water

in the crawl space beneath my office and that grew mold. They

cleaned it with bleach at the same time. For about a year I have

been complaining to the boss that I feel bad at work and better at

home. Then 3 mos. or so ago I started having severe fatigue. I

chalked it up to stress and only recently saw my doctor. i tested

positive for eptein barr. She now says I have CFS. She says it is

from mold exposure but doesn't really know all the tests to run. One

of the blood tests she ran showed cladosporium herbarium in my

blood. Dr. has had me out of work for 1 1/2 weeks. In the meantime I

pushed for a mold inspector to inspect our building. The boss

emailed me last night after I told him cladosporium herbarium was in

my blood and said that the only place they found that was under my

office but that none of it was migrating into the building. He said

the only thing they found in my office was arthrinium and

basidiospores, 43 spores per cubic meter and insignificant. They did

find high levels of aspergillius/penicillium and trichoderma using

tape collections stations. He didn't say where it was found. He

said the mold inspector would be calling Monday at 8:15AM and they

would talk about whether remediation was needed. Well, he emailed

tonight and said that the tests came back negative or with very low

trace amounts. He said that there was a high level of cladosporium

outside and that is probably why it was in my blood. He said that

the investigator recommended a higher grade air filter in our HVAC

systems and HEPA air filters at each end of the building and then we

were good to go.

One other thing is that there are other employees with symptoms of

fatigue, red and tearing eyes, respiratory symptoms, headaches,brain

fog, etc. One employee was in the hospital for a lung infection from

mold. (we have the same doctor) 4 of us have taken and tested

positive on the eye test on Shoemaker's site.

Questions:

1. Does this sound right for remediation?

2. How does it go from high counts to low?

3. Is it ok that cladosporium herbarium shows up in my blood and can

it show up from outdoor exposure?

4. What is an acceptable level of aspergillus/penicillium and

trichoderma?

5. What is going to happen when I go back in that building on

Wednesday so I will not lose my job?

Thanks,
