How Do Mycotoxins Get Inside of Me ???

[Guest guest]

I understand how myctoxins get inside of people if they are blowing

around attached to mold spores and with that in mind, I have cleaned

house of mold spores. Mold spore count in home is very low. Just a

some trouble with attic air and a little of it getting down into house

right now but that can be fixed.

I felt this would fix everything, getting rid of the mold spores.

However, I have a new pain developing on my left side, which is same

side I had cancer so I'm beginning to worry.

I talked to Dr Croft and he is going to look at slides of my surgery

tissue from 2004 but it was scary talking to him since he said

mycotoxins could be source of trouble that caused me cancer that was

removed surgically. I was really thinking fungal infection. CDC does

list chronic infections as cause for some cancers. I'm hoping

evidence rules out mycotoxins would be harder problem for me to solve.

You know the drill. He said I should remove all items in home that

could be toxic, in particular mentioning fabric items. Well that is

about everything. Even the walls have wallpaper flocked with fabric.

Ceiling are wallpapered instead of painted due wallpapers ability to

hide small cracks that develop in plaster walls and ceilings. So

basically this would be difficult for me. To do remaining repairs to

attic and then empty out whole house of fabric goods, that would be

like completely redoing entire house and since I intend to move in a

year or so, wouldn't be worth the work. It would be better at that

point to move.

Anyway I don't know yet if it will appear to be mycotoxins induced

problem but if it is, question is, how do myctoxins that are on or in

these things in my house get INSIDE of me? In order to get the energy

to do this, I need to understand it. Can anyone answer these

questions:

Taking two things in my home that could be toxic:

carpeting: how would toxins on carpet bother me? If I walk on it, do

toxins fly up in air and I breath them in?

If perhaps toxins clinging to wallpaper, since I don't touch wallpaper

and it is not disturbed except by little bit of circulating air, how

would that bother me?

Basically, some of the recent papers I have read say in part that they

get into you by being inhaled on *very small* dust particles.. and

spores.. but the microparticles.. the ground up mold particles on dust

(unidentifiable in air testing because they are too small and the

structures a scientist would use aren't visible anymore then) are the

worst because these tinyest particles go deepest into the lungs and

that is where the sacs that contain the air-blood interface are.

When those particles get into your lubngs, it then takes some time

before the mycotoxins in your bloodstream peak.. hours to days.. It

varies, depending on a lot of factors, but in general, the inhalation

route is an efficient one.

Another crucial issue is that some other environmental or health

factors can potentiate the damage they do.. for example, people who

have a lot of bacteria in their environment (say a leaky basement?) or

any GI illness like reflux clearly have a much higher suceptibility to

some mycotoxins.. They are made stronger by many times..

LiveSimply, why would gi illness increase chances

of getting mycotoxin illness? thanks
