Since a double diagnosis of mycotoxicosis, people often question why we have different symptoms. Symptoms vary from person to person because we're all unique individuals. No two people have the same genetic make-up or immune system. The type of exposures and time exposed have to be taken into account. But if you are suffering from a myriad of symptoms which no one can seem to figure out you should think about your environment. Be it your home, school or workplace, mold infestation is causing serious illness across the nation. Are you in a water-damaged building? Do you notice stained ceilings? A leak in the air conditioner unit? Do you notice you feel better when you are away from your environment? Do you feel worse when you return?

MCS affects millions of Americans with debilitating health effects. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it isn't real.

Remember, just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If someone mentions to you they have an environmental illness, sickbuilding syndrome, multiple chemical senstivity or mold poisoning, take them serious. Most who suffer from such illnesses already feel hesitant to talk about it because people often look at us like we have a big spot on our forehead. Surely, we are making a great big deal out of some little allergy! Nothing could be further from the truth.
