I am hyper-allergic to Penicillium and unknowingly lived in a house for two years that was overrun with the mold. I became ill shortly after moving in and a year after living there, I developed tremors that eventually developed into choreoataxia. I even have video of these episodes. The penicillium was mostly in the kitchen and my doctors believe that I easily could have accidentally ingested it.<BR/><BR/>After reviewing my case, a professor of Neurology and Physiology who works in the UCSF Movement Disorders Clinic, discovered that although rare, this commonly does occur in livestock animals and has been reported in humans.<BR/><BR/>So I guess that makes me one in a million, right? Everyone has a talent.Tiffany[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37623912.post-72559121162230841522007-11-02T15:59:00.000-04:002007-11-02T15:59:00.000-04:00Hmmm. I have never heard of grass tetany being associated with a fungal toxin. The common understanding is that is is the result of nitrogen over-fertilization on magnesium (dolomite)-poor soils, especially in springtime when growth is lush. It would be interesting to see if the Penicillium toxin really exerted an effect here.Anonymous[email protected]
