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
         A. First, my condolences to you on the death of your son. The mold exposure to 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 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.
