Mold Exposure – Mold Medical Damages
Mold exposure symptoms can be baffling. Most U.S. law firms, and medical doctors do not have the expertise or training to help their clients obtain medical damages in mold exposure lawsuits. The reason being, mold medical exposure goes far beyond the mold spore, or black mold itself and delves into the world of toxicology. Most medical doctors have little to no experience with “Poisonings,” or environmental toxins. Many of the substances and compounds that mold exposure victims are subjected to are not living organisms, but non-living secondary metabolites produced by mold and environmental bacteria. Therefore, they do not test positive to standard medical tests and are unresponsive to common pharmaceutical drugs. Most times, standard medical tests leave the patient and their physician with no answers.
