Mold Exposure
Mold Exposure and Death
Q.
My 26 year old son worked in a mold infested basement
which he did extensive cleaning by himself for 5 hours,
without the use of mask or protective gears. The house
was unoccupied for at least 2 years. The floor had
about 4 inches of water which he vacuumed and he cut up
carpeting, logged out heavy bags of debris and garbage
and drywall. He scrapped and cleaned mold growth and
mildew of the walls and ceiling. After doing this work
he developed a stuffiness in his nostril and felt
nausea. Two days later he suddenly felt ill and died
suddenly. Could the mold spores which he inhaled
extensively be responsible for his death? The coroner
overlooked checking his lungs for exposure to the
spores. However, they did a micro autopsy with samples
of his lungs and did not find anything. His death
remains undetermined. 8/19/04

First, my condolences to you on the death of your son.
The mold exposure your son experienced was extremely
dangerous to his health, but usually mold growth
inside one's body would take at least a few weeks prior
to becoming lethal, with the exception of the mold that
causes deadly valley fever. There is a possibility that
he was very mold sensitive, and that his respiratory
system shut down in response to his inhalation of huge
amounts of airborne mold spores. That is pure
speculation by me, as a non-physician and non-forensic
scientist. One mold detective step you should take is to have
the moldy basement mold tested today to determine the
types of mold to which your son was exposed, and the
levels of mold infestation. With mold infestation being
as bad as it was for your son during his work time there
, there are likely to be remaining mold spores which can
be collected and mold lab analyzed. Visit:
