Environmental Illness

Lyme disease is an illness most frequently caused by ticks infected with a spiral-shaped bacteria (spirochete) known as Borrelia Burgdorferi. Borrelia, like many organisms, undergoes constant mutation creating new strains. Although it is most commonly known that ticks are the main vector for Lyme disease, researchers have discovered Borrelia in other insects.

When a building has experienced water damage, mold growth will occur in the structure within 72 hours. This growth may or may not be visible nor have an odor. Some individuals become very ill from mold toxins, also known as mycotoxins, which are poisons to the body.
