MYCOTOXICOSIS
    #3454667 - 12/06/04 12:36 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

Listen to me very carefully people. I have just returned from my doctor this morning and I have been found to be suffering from very high levels of Toxic molds.

In fact I an very sick and in some serious danger. I have been a fool with contaimed Jars and such over the past year.

DO NOT OPEN ANY JAR WITH ANYTHING GROWING IN IT THAT IS NOT MUSHROOM FUNGUS> THROW IT OUT.


Here is a list of the symptoms that are realated to Fugus/Mold Toxicity.


The following are a list of SOME of the most common symptoms of fungal exposure (Bear in mind, most people never fit all of this criteria). Most people with mycotoxicosis meet at least ten (recent symptoms) of the following criteria:
Respiratory distress, coughing, sneezing, sinusitis
Difficulty swallowing, choking, spitting up (vomiting) mucous
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis
Burning in the throat and lungs
Asthmatic signs; wheezing, shortness in breath, coughing, burning in lungs, etc.
Diarrhea, nausea, piercing lower abdominal pains, vomiting
Bladder, liver, spleen, or kidney problems
Memory loss; short term memory; brain fog
Vision problems
Swollen lymph nodes
Headaches
Slurred speech
Anxiety/depression - confusion, short term memory problems
Ringing in ears, balance problems, dizziness
Chronic fatigue
Numbness in face and limbs, intermittent twitching
Night sweats
Elevated blood pressure and triglycerides, heart palpitations
Nose bleeds
Bruising easily
Rash
Sudden weight changes
Cancer
Hair loss
Arthralgia (Pain in the joints without swelling)
Heart attack
Seizures
Inadvertent facial movements or extremity jerking


I have a very hard battle in front of me and it seems that I am very sick. I am suffering from many of the above things. I am knda scared and have been sick for quite awhile. My doctor has been confused and not found to much with the tests he has givin me so far. But 2 weeks ago I confessed to my hobbie. My edible hobbie :rolleyes:. And that I have been cleaning out any contaimed Jars outside but in fact I have gotten a few lungs full of mold spores. He freaked and ordered a new set of tests. and today it was confirmed that I am in serious trouble.

This is a repet thread but it is very important and I want all to make damn sure you see this
:crazy:


A person can Die. A person can destroy many things inside. A person can damage there heart to the point of heart attack.


I am now very scared and want to tell you JUST THROW THE FUCKING JARS AWAY. DO NOT SCREW AROUND WITH CONTAIMENTS :frown:

There is much info on line............Much of it very Dotorish but if you sort throught it you will find much more info.

BECAREFUL people :thumbup:

Yeah it sucks . The doctor though I may have some type of Cancer. The worst symptom I suffer from is Lymph glands the size of Golfballs. My left arm pit has a huge expanded Lymph gland. I had to cut my poker trip to Vegas short because I am just fucking very weak and sickly. I quit all drugs about a month ago and I started to feel better then the past 4 days I have gotten much worse. :frown:

I suffer from about 80% of the symptoms found in my first post. They have gotten much worse this week. This sucks bigtime. :thumbdown:


More tests next friday. The thing is, that this type of infection is very very difficult to clean out of the body. My doctor seems more worried than me so maybe I just don't see the danger I may be in.

Thanks you guys.......... I am very worried but I am not going to die unless of course I take no action :rolleyes:.

I just have some work to do and I may have done some long term damage. But God can heal me. I leave it in his hands and soon the worry I will be able to leave with him as well. Prayer is powerful. Plus I will find out what things the doctors will do for me. Probley lots a pills and I probley will need to hire some crew to sterilize my house. :blush:



The fact is I have been a FOOL and have payed the price.

Look at it like this. Not only will I learn this lesson but so will all of you.

All You can do is sow the seed through your own (unfortunate) experience, some may learn but many i fear will delude themselves into thinking:"It'll never happen to me"But you're conscience is free of guilt and it's not on your hands if people don't listen. Take this on any level you wish :wink:

wow my friend, i am sorry for your problem and hope for your recovery.

my advice? fuck poker man! you dont need to be running around gambeling and movin! you should get a clean sterile room, a warm bed, book at least a week of school or work, get some ecinachea, some vitamin C, some chicken noodle soup , a shitload of purified water, some green tea, and fucking baricade yourself in there with some relaxing music and fucking rest up man!

you need to recover!

I wish it was that simple. The fact is I may be in some real trouble. I have allowed this stuff to fester in my body for many months. Mold can in fact kill. Heavy intake of Black Mold spores is the most likly culprit at this time. But I have many more tests to take. It will be awhile before I know the full extent of what has happened.








Everyone else............

I want to clarify a few things. I did not get this sick from a small jar with a small patch of containment's. This is what happened.


I had 24 quart jars packed with substrate and ready to go into the PC. But the next day I was required to go down state and handle a serious problems at my shop. I did not return for a week and in the heat of my troubles just forgot about the damn jars.


So when I found then they were packed full PACKED FULL of the most vile shit you can imagine. Pink, green, yellow and black freaky looking stuff. So instead of throwing them out I scraped them clean. Oh yeah I wore a painters mask..................


But the fact is I was in a very bad mood that day and my wife was yelling at me and shit was not good. So in the bad mood I just keep scraping and being very angry. I should have just bought new jars.


Anyway I exposed myself to who knows what.


And sadly this was not the first time I had been so foolish. About 3 months before that I had a similar experience with some quart jars under my back porch. I was going to toss them but they had a bunch of Shrooms growing in the top of the Jars. Fascinated that Shrooms had grown in very contaminated Jars with the lids on under my porch. I opened them and examined the shrooms. I did throw away all the jars and the shrooms. But i remember ho bad they smelled.


If you can smell the contaims you have introduced them into your body.


So I have exposed myself to very large quantities of the NASTIES twice in the past year.


They fester in your organs and glands. They grow and it takes awhile for them to start trouble. And if like me just blew the symptoms off as something else they just keep festering and growing inside you.


Anyway......... I hope everyone gets it.


More to follow...........

What is exactly happening to me..........

OK here it is..........

My lymph glands in my arm pits are the size of Golf balls. My left arm has gone about 50% numb. It twitches all night when i am trying to sleep. The lymph glands in my chest and neck are twice the size they should be.


I suffer from a constant runny nose and nightly nose bleeds.

My bladder over the past month has been very weak. I pee a lot.

My eye sight has gotten fuzzy and my eye balls just feel sore

Pains in my guts that last only a few seconds but are very painful

A general feeling of wanting to sleep

Depression and anxiety are a daily part of life

Very high blood pressure and I can feel my heart beat in my neck,face and head about 3/4 of the day. Lots if pressure

Headaches that only last a few mins but I have several a day.

I started having panic attacks when as of a month ago I never had one in my entire life. Now I have them 2-3 times a day.

And my dick has suddenly decided to take a break from sex.....grrrrrrrrr

Anyway I am getting sicker by the day.

My doctor checked for heart problems........ Nothing

He checked for Cancer......nothing

He checked for some other things and was getting very confused. at least that is what I picked up on.

Then he sat me down and had me describe my life and my every habit and hobby. That is when he realized I may be having a problem with a Mold infection. He has limited experience with this but he is dealing with it.

He may send me to Detroit to see a specialist.

I have been doing much reading online and have found out that some Mold infections are very dangerous and can Kill you. They can cause your heart to be become so damaged that your life is cut short by decades.


I really may have fucked up..........

All those signs could very well be your body shutting down, espically at that speed. Your posts about God have been very inspiring to me, and I guess I can say they have helped me in my relationship with God. Your in Gods hands and I dont think its your time to go yet, maybe hes just teaching you something. But good luck, thanks you and you better be posting for the many days to come!

Sure man........... You have me buried already :grin:

Yes I am in trouble but the fact is I once made a very solid promise to God that I would not grow Cubies. I did not do what he asked me. And the fact that just as I started getting close to him again thru my talks here. It does seem funny that I would be suffering from such a thing.

You may be right that God in fact does have something to say to me. God has had a very serious plan for me. I was suppose to be one of his great warrior's. Not a rich guy with problems wtih drugs.

It seems that when you do things your own way and not the way God wants. He may in fact get your attention

He has it. :shocked:

very sorry to hear about your illness fucknuckle. i hope you make it through all of this. this thread has really opened my eyes to something i didn't think would even be a concern of mine. you can damn well assure yourself that i'm not going to be taking any chances in the future.

also, if you don't mind me asking, how well is/was your overall immune system working at the time of infection and incubation? i mean, were you exceptionally healthy or unhealthy?

Im sorry to hear of your illness. On the good side, there are many good treatments available if you catch it in a relatively early stage like yourself. It sounds like you are not hospitalized or anything severe so you can probably come away from this without any long term damage. Like you said, let this be a lesson to people that if you are sick and suspect it may be due to your hobby, let the doctor know right away. I will be sending some positive energy your way in my meditation tonight.
