RE:Mycotoxins and Employee Exposure

[Guest guest]

Wei and Group:

As I lay in the hospital bed this past week under heavy morpheme

sedation, I had a dream about work. The story goes: I was

being asked as an expert in a worker’s compensation case to

support the hypothesis that generations of mold growth in constantly wet drywall

walls are capable of producing virulent T-2 mold compounds and antigens including

cytotoxin, trichothecene and other mycotoxigenicity agents. These agents can be inhaled, ingested and absorbed into the system of mold remediation

employees even though they are wearing an N-95 facemask. Meaning, a

paper-base facemask as compared to a HEPA/Organic filtered cartridge mask, the

N-95 mask “does not” adequately protect workers during mold

remediation.

I do not remember what my response was but I do remember the

question. Can you and others in the group fill in the answer for me?
