Sinus Infection

Sinus Infection and Mold

A medical study of the Mayo Clinic discovered that over 90% of all chronic sinusitis problems are caused by living or working in a moldy environment. Learn all about both effective medical doctor-prescribed medicines and low-cost home remedies for sinus infection, sinus problems, sinusitis, and chronic sinusitis in the special report Sinus Infection Home Remedy Recipes.

Q. I have been sick with a sinus infection and cough for over two months. After one round of antibiotics it hadn't gone away so I returned to the doctor. Had two more weeks of antibiotics, still no cure. Then it dawned on me that there were about a dozen of us at my job who all had chronic sinus infections - four people who had to have sinus surgery and still are having problems. I have asked that our building be tested and after some delay they have said they will. I am going to an ENT to have a CAT scan and further treatment. I am afraid to continue working in this building until the mold has been confirmed and removed. I have requested to work at home, but this was denied. Are there any legal precedents that would allow me to stay out of this building until the results are in? I don't want to do further damage to my body and once the infection is cleared, certainly don't want to be re-infected again. What are my rights? I presume once the mold is confirmed I will have a workers comp case, but until then I don't have enough sick leave to cover the time off that I would need while they test/fix the building. Also, I want to thank you for such a comprehensive webpage - the information gained here has helped arm me with the information I needed to push my employer to do the necessary testing. You have put a lot of work into this site and I just want you to know that I (and I'm sure thousands of others) appreciate your work. Who knew that mold infestation was such a prevalent problem causing such serious health problems? [Feb. 4, 2002]

A. Ask your employer to purchase one or more Friedrich Electronic Air Cleaners, the highest rated air cleaner by the leading USA product testing organization. If your boss won't do so, buy one for your area at your own expense [to be reimbursed in the future when your future attorney pursues your legal rights against your employer]. Put one air cleaner into each work area or office. The Friedrich electronic air cleaners will 24 hours remove airborne mold spores out of the air to dramatically improve your indoor air quality while you are waiting for mold testing and mold remediation. Second, test the office air yourself immediately by using do-it-yourself mold test kits from a large hardware or home improvement store, with mold identification analysis by a Mold Laboratory, as explained at Mold Testing. Don't rely on the mold test results that have been requested by your employer. You may not receive [as an employee] all of the test results because the mold inspector's obligation is solely to your employer. Third, after you have mold test results that prove there is a mold contamination problem at work, hire a local attorney to provide you with legal guidance and to send a demand letter to your employer to correct the problem immediately while you work with pay at home. The various legal theories that can be used to sue are explained in the mold law book Mold Legal Guide.
