Many people who have been exposed to toxic mold complain of
behavioral and neurological problems like what has been called mold
rage, psychosis, aggressive and erratic behavior, and depression. I
had previously written in my article, Mold Can Cause Depression that
researchers have connected depression with people who lived in
water damaged and moldy homes.
The reason why mold causes people to act abnormally is because
some molds produce mycotoxins which can be very neurotoxic. What
this means is that the toxins produced by some molds are
neurotoxins that are poisonous or destructive to brain and nerve tissue
which causes a condition known as neurotoxicity. The term
neurotoxicity refers to damage to the brain or peripheral nervous
system caused by exposure to a man-made poison or in this case, a
mold poison.
When mold mycotoxins cause neurotoxicity, it is called
myconeurotoxicity, which refers to any adverse effects of exposure to
mycotoxins or byproducts of primary and secondary mold metabolism,
including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on the structural or
functional integrity of the developing or adult nervous system.
Neuromycotoxic effects may involve a spectrum of biochemical,
morphological, behavioral, and physiological abnormalities whose
onset can vary from immediate to delayed actions, following exposure
to a mycotoxins. The duration of effects may be transient, or
persistent, and result in disability in some individuals, while some may
have life-threatening consequences.(1)
These mold toxins are so dangerous that they are used by
militaries around the world as bio-terror weapons!
Dr. Janette Hope of the American Academy of Environmental
Medicine has said that mycotoxins have been used as biological
warfare agents such as Trichothecenes, which are produced by the
molds Stachybotrys, Fusarium, and Myrothecium. These
Trichothecenes include T2 toxin, deoxynivalenol (DON) and the
macrocyclic trichothecenes satratoxin, and verrucarin can cause
diarrhea, weight loss, nervous disorders, cardiovascular alterations,
immunodepression, hemostatic derangements, skin toxicity,
decreased reproductive capacity, and bone marrow damage.(2)
It is well known that mental illnesses are associated with nervous
system disorders so it only makes sense that some people who have
a toxic mold illness and or fungal infection suffer from mental issues
due to the toxic nature of the molds they come in contact with.
It is not the people who are crazy. It is the mold mycotoxins
making them crazy!
This is thoroughly backed by science.
For example, in a 2003 study by the Environmental Health Center-
Dallas titled, “Effects of toxic exposure to molds and mycotoxins in
building-related illnesses,” 100 participants were examined in an effort
to uncover how toxic mold exposure can affect the nervous system
and brain. What they found is that after the mold exposure, nervous
system challenges were observed in 100% of the patients tested.(3)
Other studies have found that human exposure to molds, mycotoxins,
and water-damaged buildings can cause neurologic and
neuropsychiatric signs and symptoms. Many of these clinical features
can partly mimic or be similar to classic neurologic disorders including
pain syndromes, movement disorders, delirium, dementia, and
disorders of balance and coordination.(4)
Researchers in a 2003 study had assessed the psychological,
neuropsychological, and electrocortical effects of human exposure to
mixed colonies of toxigenic molds. The Patients reported high levels of
physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms such as acute stress,
adjustment disorder, or post-traumatic stress. Neuropsychological
testing revealed impairments similar to mild traumatic brain injury.(5)
Immune system disorders and abnormal natural killer cell (NKC)
activity was found in patients with chronic toxigenic mold exposure in
a 2003 study. The major symptoms reported were headache, general
debilitating pains, nose bleeding, fevers with body temperatures up to
40 degrees C (104 degrees F), cough, memory loss, depression,
mood swings, sleep disturbances, anxiety, chronic fatigue,
vertigo/dizziness, and in some cases, seizures.
The researchers found that the patient’s sleep could be disturbed by
mycotoxins and that they had exerted some rigorous effects on the
circadian rhythmic processes resulting in sleep deprivation.
Depression, psychological stress, tissue injuries, malignancies,
carcinogenesis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and experimental allergic
encephalomyelitis could be induced at very low physiological
concentrations by mycotoxin-induced NKC activity.
The researchers concluded that chronic exposures to toxigenic mold
could lead to abnormal NKC activity with a wide range of neurological
consequences, some of which were headache, general debilitating
pains, fever, cough, memory loss, depression, mood swings, sleep
disturbances, anxiety, chronic fatigue, and seizures.(6)
A more recent study by the Johns Hopkins University School of
Medicine published in Science Direct had shown that the yeast
infection caused by the mold (fungus) candida has been linked to
people with mental illness. Researchers found that a history of
Candida yeast infections was more common in a group of men with
schizophrenia or bipolar disorder than in those without these
disorders, and that women with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder who
tested positive for Candida performed worse on a standard memory
test than women with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder who had no
evidence of past infection.
Professor Emily Severance, of the Johns Hopkins University School of
Medicine said that most Candida infections can be treated in their
early stages, and clinicians should make it a point to look out for these
infections in their patients with mental illness. (7)
It is well known in the field of mycology that many of the same human
illnesses and diseases caused by fungi can be found in the animal
kingdom. For example, there are five mycotoxins found in
concentrates or roughages which have been shown to cause
neurologic disease in livestock. Fumonisin B, is produced by Fusarium
moniliform and causes leukoencephalomalacia in horses.(8)
Studies have also shown that the mold known as aspergillus which is
commonly found both indoors and outdoors all over the globe has
been connected to mycotoxicosis in ruminants is often associated with
neurotoxic symptoms in large animals such as cattle. When sudden
neurotoxic symptoms prevailed in several herds of cattle in Belgium in
summer 1997, researchers found the presence of toxicogenic moulds
and mycotoxins in their feed. The described verruculogen B, as the
most toxic representative of the group of indol-derivatives inducing
tremor in animals.
Neurological effects caused by tremorgenic mycotoxins are temporary
and affected animals usually regain normal posture and movement
within a short-time after removal of the contaminated material.
Mortality may occur from misadventure if, for example, affected
animals fall over cliffs, into ditches or ponds. When post-mortem
investigations of the numerous deaths revealed neuronal lesions,
circumstantial evidence pointed towards Aspergillus clavatus, as the
main cause of the degenerative neurotoxicosis.”(9)
Last but not least, mold mycotoxins can interfere with vitamin B12
function and cause B12 deficiencies. This is serious because a
deficiency in this crucial vitamin can result in severe health problems
such as neurological diseases, depression, anxiety, paranoia, memory
loss, fatigue, weakness, vision problems and much more. This may
explain why so many people who have been exposed to mold
experience many of these symptoms.
Mold Safe Solutions Conclusion
Unfortunately because of misinformation and propaganda mainly
perpetuated by the insurance industry, paid defense experts with
agendas and law firms who work in toxic mold defense cases, this
science is being ignored, hidden, manipulated and even called quack
science. All in the name of protecting corporate interests and money!
But the facts are that there are many mycology experts and people
without an agenda and who do not work for insurance firms and or as
defense experts that have proven without a doubt that toxic mold and
its mycotoxins can cause serious illnesses and diseases to our central
nervous systems and brains and even death.
The people who have been exposed to toxic mold and have
neurological issues are not crazy. It is the mold mycotoxins making
them crazy!
I will leave you with the conclusion of the researchers in the study
titled, The validity of the environmental neurotoxic effects of toxigenic
molds and mycotoxins
“The validity of the health effects of chronic toxigenic mold and
mycotoxin exposures has been reviewed. The exposures to mixed
molds and mycotoxins are confirmed to lead to CNS and the immune
system, have pulmonary, and allergic effects preceded by
inflammatory processes. Subsequently, these events lead to the
observed neurobehavioral abnormalities in exposed individuals.
In the light of recent compelling pieces of evidence available in peer-
reviewed literature and the emergence of the science of
nanotoxicology, it is almost imperative that most of the controversies
concerning the validity of the adverse health effects of chronic
environmental toxigenic and mycotoxic exposures can at least in
parts, be resolved.”
