Thanx Kristi for your reply. I am very lucky to be in a district that

atleast gives it shot even though they screwed up big this time. The

district has sent a tutor to our home as I explained in a previous e-mail.

My daughter already has a section 504, which makes them fix the mold. Even

though they like to cut corners. The papers have already been filed with

the state, and the county. So, I do not at this time plan on homeschooling.

I have been thru this with this district before helping them with some other

problems related to IAQ. The company they are using is someone I work with

in the industry, as using me would be very controversial. We are all

scheduled to have a meeting this week. We will go over the results, make a

plan for next year when she leaves this school so this doesn't happen again.

This they will do, as they see they have put themselves in a bad position

this time.

But, I do a have a son that will continue at this school for 2 more years.

So, I want to make sure that the problem is fixed whatever it may be. I

could request just allowing them to continue schooling at home for the rest

of the year. But, this will not fix it for him or the other kids.

I am hoping someone here can give me opinions on how to handle the test

results. Outdoor vs. Indoor. I am good with handling the district. hehehe

Not sure how to take your comment . But, I will take it as a positive

comment. Yes, she can tell us and did tell us for weeks. But, as you

know (well guess you wouldn't being you have no kids but I'll explain) the

schools don't care what the kids say. They care what the results say, and

what those who are interpereting the results say. They care about how much

it's gonna cost, and who will find out. So, far no one has ever known what

is going on over there. But, I'm about ready to let the world know. NO ONE

gives a crap what she says, or how sick she is. (well atleast those at the

district-her friends and family care)

That's the important thing - that YOU believe her.

No matter what the tests say, no matter what the experts believe

about outdoor spores being safe, she will feel it and be able to

give you information that is " reality based " .

Nobody in my family believed me. No doctors, and only a very few

very good friends.

Until Melinda Ballards story broke on the front page of USA TODAY,

I could count the number of people who failed to tell me I was wrong

or exaggerating and who just plain refused to listen, on the fingers

of one hand - and I have seen more doctors than most people have.

I still carry that newspaper article around with me.

I don't have kids. I only have the cat that the doctors blamed for

my illness, and when we were stuck in a moldy place, while the

weather was making the plumes go wild, she would act frantic and

desperate.

My cat would make pitiful crying sounds that I have never heard her

make in any other place. There is no doubt in my mind that my cat

was expressing how badly she felt - and I believed her.

We got the Hell out - the both of us.

[Guest guest]

Thank you . That was a nice comment. You are right. I do believe her,

and she does know. She knows before she even gets really sick. I am glad

you had your cat, and that the both of you got out safe.

is the school anywhere near a sewage processing plant or anything else

that could be the source of these high readings? The presence of high

amounts of toxinogenic molds in the air at a site does not mean its

safe.. Also, the species of the spores and the ratio of species both

outside and inside need to be determined.

If it turns out that yes, actually the school is sitting on top of a

huge reservoir of 'naturally' toxic mold ..say, it was built in a

swamp or something.. or its surrounded by decaying buildings.. perhaps

the school would be better off elsewhere.

[Guest guest]

if their saying theres only pinicillium, I would be asking for a

copy of test. never heard of only one mold being present in any

situation. have also read that aspergillus spores and pinicillium

can be hard to identify, can look the same. was this just air

testing? because stachy often does not pick up on air test. tape test

should also be done. air test do not show accurata amounts and vary

depending on wet, dry, windy conditions. all mold comes from outside,

spores are in the air, looking for water or moisture to land and

grow. dry mold spores continue to put out mycotoxins. remediation

often has results of mold growing back and if moisture or water

problem was not fixed, it will keep coming back. so many things can

effect readings on air test. many mold testing company dont deal with

mold properly, they also should be a toxicologest or industrial

hygenist. if you ask some of these mold remediation companys if their

work is garenteed, most will say no. mold often eats into wood and

cleaning it is not going to work, it needs to be removed. if mold in

a school is makeing you sick theres a good chance your takeing it

home with you in your hair and cloths.contaminating your bedroom with

mold spores, pillows from hair. sounds like it was not dealt with

right. and after remedation it may take a while for the readings to

start showing it again but that doesn't mean it wont make you ill.

whats the chances of a bigger problem hidden from sight is still

growing undesturbed. has readings of outside and inside humidity been

done? in my second home readings were twice as high as outside. if it

is higher inside, theres a problem somewhere. also, with even low

exposure amounts mycotoxins can make you very ill, and the

misunderstanding of this causes many to suffer. outside readings can

vary depending on where their done. outside testing should be done

away from building with wind blowing, in a open area. its suposed to

be a reading from the air itself not from other sorces of mold, not

from mold coming from building, not from mold in the ground or around

trees exc. and the way a building is built can also play a role in

airtest results, low readings does not mean a whole lot. any reading

at all should be seen as a possible problem and kids complaining of

illness should be taken very seriously. they should be listened to

just like we should be. in my first victorian home mold was hidden

behind walls, air test done during spring showed low amounts. on dry

windy days, air flow in the walls caused high amounts of

molds/mycotoxins to inter into the rooms. so many things involved.

the best indacation of a problem is the symptoms of those in the

building. if rememdiation has been done and done right, that building

would provide great relief , even over relief at home or other

buildings, or being outside. if a kid is saying the building is still

makeing them sick, thats a big

clue.
