The interval between working on the house and her illness was quite long, and therefore it is not terribly likely that working on the house and books was the problem. However, there was a problem with her own landlord. The apartment above her had an inadequately tiled bathroom, and there was a substantial problem with mold and mildew in her closet. I believe with you that she had compromised her immune system, as well, making it hard to fend off an infection that entered the blood stream itself.

<<Maybe Ish knows something Edwarda's sister didn't, but her sister did speak to Edwarda's doctors in the hospital, and she was not given as an explanation exposure to mildew.>> As I recall it was several months after she passed away before the tests came back from the CDC and they said it was a fungal infection. I asked my family doctor and he said rare but possible. <<My husband was an antiquarian book dealer for a period, and it's certainly true that anyone who does that for a living handles a lot of mildewed books while seeking treasures, and no booksellers were concerned. >> You have to remember the house leaked so bad and had so much growing in it that it was condemned. Tore the darn thing down. I need to find an old book dealer, I have several from the 1800s that my wife says to get rid of.
