Guest guest Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 We had our annual mold/IEQ presentation at our builder's conference last week. I have known the presenter for 7 years and he always does a very good job updating us on the latest in research, IEQ inspections, remediation protocols and his field observations. Every year someone asks the same question - How many truly sick individuals does he encounter each year from a mold related illness. The answer is about the same each year - Acute reactions are fairly common, however, chronic disease or incapacitated/hospitalized cases as a result of exposure are very rare with an emphasis on " very " . Typically the chronic cases have an underlying cause that is exasperated by exposure to poor IEQ conditions. We still hear so much about toxic mold exposure. According to our presenter, the most vocal preachers of toxic mold typically have a financial interest in promoting the concept. So questions for the group: 1. What is your experience with truly sick clients? 2. With so many homes, schools and businesses reportedly having poor IEQ, why are we not seeing more chronic disease " medically linked " to mold, biotoxins and mVOC exposure?
