Guest guest Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Felice, Here is a brief description of what " stachy " (stachybotrys) is from www.mold-help.org The most dangerous mold strains are: Chaetomium (pronounced Kay-toe-MEE-yum) and Stachybotrys chartarum (pronounced Stack-ee-BOT-ris Shar-TAR-um) as they have been proven to produce demylenating mycotoxins among others, meaning they can lead to autoimmune disease. Under certain growth and environmental conditions, both of these fungi release toxic, microscopic spores and several types of mycotoxins that can cause the worst symptoms which are usually irreversible such as neurological and immunological damage. Some of these natural mycotoxins include a very strong class known as trichothecenes. Trichothecenes are also produced by several common molds including species in the genera Acremonium, Cylindrocarpon, Dendrodochium, Myrothecium, Trichoderma, and Trichothecium. The trichothecenes are potent inhibitors of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, and have been well studied in animal models because of concern about their potential misuse as agents of biological warfare, due to their ability to destroy human health (mentally and physically), and never appear in an autopsy. felice <anupath14@...> wrote: erik, what did you mean, i can use pine if the " environment is not at risk " ? also, what is " stachy " ? does everyone mean the bacteria?? thx, Felice Life is a balance of holding on and letting go... --------------------------------- All-new - Fire up a more powerful email and get things done faster.
