Re: Burning skin and eyes, hair loss and other symtoms

Next two paragraphs are interesting too regarding

tricothecenes and skin, and statement that main

organ that metabolizes tricothecenes is liver, so

one could get itching and irritation from two

sources, from tricothecenes directly and also

from liver toxicity indirectly:

Metabolism of trichothecenes

Trichothecenes, unlike other mycotoxins, do not

require metabolic activation to exert their toxic

effects.28 Direct dermal application leads to

immediate skin irritation. They

directly act with cellular organelles and

structures causing inhibition of protein, RNA and

DNA synthesis, disaggregation of polyribosomes

and rough endoplasmic reticulum, inhibition of

mitochondrial functions and cause cell death

(apoptosis).13-22,24,28-31

Tricothecenes are lipophilic and are easily

absorbed through the skin, respiratory and

intestinal tracts. A single oral dose peaks in

the blood at one hour. Inhaled median lethal dose

is equal to or less than a systemic dose. Death

in rodents and guinea pigs occurs in 1 to 12

hours following inhalation of lethal aerosol

concentrations without pulmonary edema.24

Tissue distribution studies show that liver is

the major organ of metabolism of trichothecenes.

Radioactivity from labeled mycotoxins following

different routes of administration (oral, IM, IV,

dermal) appear in the bile, liver, and

gastrointestinal tract with metabolites and

glucuronide conjugates appearing in the urine and

feces.32,33 Trichothecenes are metabolized via

deacetylation and de-expoxidation (hyrdrolysis).

For all the people who are living with situations like this, w.r.t. burning

eyes, etc. If winter weather starts and you cannot get it cleaned out.. (say

you rent) and find like we did that HEPA filtration does not remove all of

the poison.. just the bigger pieces.. and no VOCs - even if it gets freezing

cold YOU HAVE TO DILUTE IT DOWN WITH FRESH AIR, and if that means leaving

the windows open and being very cold, that is BETTER BY FAR than the

alternative which is breathing and absorbing more of that stuff.
