These are the people you are going to fail by completely underestimating the level of remediation necessary to make a place bearable.You will learn. It's only a matter of time.- the Stachysterian Thank you , I couldn't have said it better myself. I have had the the chance to see one of the "unaware" CIH's actually become so sensitized himself that he had to be hospitalized......now instead of going in on projects himself he sends his assistants (guinea pigs if you will). I guess as long as he doesn't have to suffer he thinks it is OK because he still doesn't acknowledge that others are that sensitive. Thanks again for acknowleging that these people are out there and that the numbers are growing. What I don't understand is if countries use types of molds for biological warfare what makes people think it isn't harmful in certain levels where they work, live or go to school?

How True! I know an owner of a remediation company that also has become so sensitized that he no longer goes on projects. Instead does educational seminars and certification training for other indoor air specialists. Isn't that great? Couldn't even protect himself and yet is the " educator " that certifies others! What a concept! - the Stachysterian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Actually it seems to me someone that has become sensitized is a great person to do education. What better example of what can happen if proper precautions are not taken. If this person is taking his experience to try to keep it from happening to others, seems like a plan to me.

But this owner of the remediation company had not. He was still doing preliminary investigation without protective gear and wasn't decontaminating afterward. He was practicing a fairly standard level of dealing with mold which treats it as moderately harmful. Far better than most people, who think it is harmless. But vastly insufficient for people like me. He described his wifes illness which has symptoms comparable to mine and were consistent with classic symptoms of mold reactivity. I told him that my sensitivity indicated that he was sufficiently contaminated to be a driving force to others by merely walking in the room and that his line of work might be very hazardous to his wife if he didn't maintain the highest standards of decontamination protocols. The remediologist didn't show much interest in the extreme avoidance lifestyle so I figure either he didn't believe me or he isn't too concerned about his wifes comfort. - the Stachysterian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
