"This family of mycotoxins causes multiorgan effects including emesis and diarrhea, weight loss, nervous disorders, cardiovascular
alterations, immunodepression, hemostatic derangements, skin toxicity, decreased reproductive capacity, and bone marrow damage.4,6
...In [Ch. 34] we will concentrate on T-2 mycotoxin, a highly toxic trichothecene that, together with some closely related compounds, has been the causative agent of a number of illnesses in humans and domestic animals.1,2 " (Borden Institute, Textbooks of Military Medicine, Medical Aspects of Chemical and Biological Warfare, TRICHOTHECENE MYCOTOXINS, Ch. 34).
T-2 Toxin: "Disease: Alimentory Toxic Aleukia; Agent: Trichothecene Mycotoxins; Producing Organisms: Fusarium & various other fungi; Entry route: Ingestion, Dermal & Inhalation; Toxic Response: Minutes to Days; Symptoms: blurred vision, hemorrhaging mucous membranes, dizziness, ataxia, tachycardia, hypothermia and hypotension; can induce DNA damage and cell death. Additional possible health effects include hemmorrhagic, immunosuppressive reactions as well as nausea and vomiting".
Damp school buildings are becoming increasingly common as new, poorly designed, sealed buildings are built that don't "breathe" and poorly constructed school buildings age - while not maintained properly. Preventative maintenance in schools is shortchanged in order to save money. The results are catastrophic for those who spend their long hours in these buildings. The EPA estimates that half of all American schools have poor indoor air quality, some of which is from mold. Millions of people exposed to mold in damp schools have their health significantly impacted and some die. The Center for School Mold Help provides information to assist with prevention and solutions to this little-understood, hidden, public health threat.
