Dear Martin:

Finally, after many months of extensive review,ACOEM 2011 is here. I hoped to find something in the new version of the artificial paper, ACOEM 2002 that would benefit society. I am sorely disappointed. The sad truth is that there is nothing in the article that would assist the public with understanding the mechanisms of exposure and the possible association with illness. Rather, ACOEM, an entity that purports to exist in the interest of public health, is publishing a statement with the sole purpose of being a document defense consultants can point to as they try to help the insurance industry defeat valid claims of individuals who have become ill following exposure to water-damaged buildings (WDB). When a professional association is making a policy statement, the comments of the organization ideally are meant to help the public in some way, not hurt them. ACOEM 2011 has nothing to help injured persons.

...Remember, ACOEM tries to convince the reader that eating mold spores is the only way to become ill from mold. This idea is based on an illness from moldy hay that affected some starving Russian horses in 1945. To ignore hundreds of documents showing that inhalation, not ingestion, is the mechanism that affects thousands of people is indefensible. But ACOEM plows on. They again try to use a bogus mathematical calculation (ignoring every aspect of well defined inflammatory responses known to occur in affected patients) that they said showed that there couldn’t be enough spores inside any WDB to make anyone sick.

And all this from one acute exposure rat study.

People should not fall for this trap. Look instead at the real science...read for yourself!
