I would assume most are aware of the mold Usually I would agree with you. Leave the people alone to do as they please. But in the case of toxic mold, I really do not think people fully understand how deadly it can be. Most people would say, "I've seen mold, no big thing. . .we've had mold before." But when you see the photos of the insides of these homes, you cannot believe your eyes. . . and that is just the mold you can see. It grows unabated behind every single wall. The home is virtually being consumed. . .with multiple varieties of mold spores in great abundance. I doubt scientists could even accurately measure the effects of a single home within a months time, let alone specultate on the sort of physical dangers an entirely infected community might hold. The problem is that nobody would ever allow mold to gain such a foothold in the "real world". So there are very few case studies. But in this bizzaro world of New Orleans. . . with the shear amount of flooding, the humid climate and the time that has passed without treatment of mold, there may be unknown dangers, far worse than imagined. The problem is in what we do not know. Sleeping a single night in a home with supermold might feasibly have disasterous health effects. A week might be deadly to some. We just don't know. Rande Is
