![]() While many papers suggest a similar relationship between Stachybotrys and human disease, the studies nearly uniformly suffer from significant methodological flaws, making their findings inconclusive. Review of the literature reveals certain fungus-disease associations in humans, including ergotism (Claviceps species), alimentary toxic aleukia (Fusarium), and liver disease (Aspergillys). Some valid concerns exist regarding the relationship between indoor mold exposure and human disease. We discuss the Cleveland infant idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage reports in detail, since they provided important impetus for concerns about Stachybotrys. We also examine possible end-organ effects, including pulmonary, immunologic, neurologic, and oncologic disorders. Here, we review the evidence regarding indoor mold exposure and mycotoxicosis, with an emphasis on S. While many authors describe a direct relationship between fungal contamination and illness, close examination of the literature reveals a confusing picture. Recently, there have been reports of severe illness as a result of indoor mold exposure, particularly due to Stachybotrys chartarum. This has caused concern regarding health effects of moldy indoor environments and has resulted in many studies of moisture- and mold-damaged buildings. I then ordered a few posh paint samples too for comparison.Damp buildings often have a moldy smell or obvious mold growth some molds are human pathogens. (I learnt that by throwing a few other dark greens into my online basket that looked like they may be appropriate when in fact they were a Kermit the frog green instead!). Note: Pick up the paint chips from a hardware store first and search online for the name as the colours viewed on screen are NOTHING like what you get. I took advantage of Dulux’s fantastic and inexpensive sample pot system (£1 per sample) and ordered a handful of greens to test. So, having decided on the walls, it was down to the colour. The green will also provide a nice backdrop to our new pendant lights – one of which sits in the niche I am painting green ( sketch here). Our bed has a very low head board – and so the colour on the back wall will give it something strong to sit against. Yes, I realise this is a very loose justification to ‘modernise’ the look – but I’m rolling with it. I know that ‘feature walls’ in a bold colour or wallpaper are perhaps somewhat dated now, but I’ve decided to go for it anyway – but with a slight twist. I’m going to paint one (not both) of the fireplace niches (not the projecting chimney breast as is typical) a dark green too. I am somewhat torn between a dark cosy room, and a light breezy airy one, and so have decided to split the difference and paint the wall behind the bed dark green, while keeping the window wall white (Realising of course that now the room will be neither, and instead some sort of potentially odd hybrid). Once May rolled around, I still felt the urge to experiment with a rich forest green in the room, (turns out it wasn’t a passing fad influenced by our Christmas tree), but I didn’t quite have the same confidence I had in the living room to paint all four walls. As we had to finish painting the window wall so the radiators could be installed, we carried on with it while I flip-flopped back and forth on what colour to do the rest.īack in December I was hatched a plan for a dark green master bedroom colour scheme in this post. Our master bedroom really is a bit of a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde at the moment. … there may not be grass, but the wall is certainly greener!
