What to do about mold in the workplace?
A little over 2 1/2 years ago, was transferred to work at another facilty (hospital), as soon as I got there, I started itching, coughing, etc. Cough got worse after the first week. I then went to see doctor; said it could possibly be mold. Previous years, hurricane hit area, carpet in dept. got wet. Then had to go to specialist, paid about $900 out of pocket since insurance didn’t cover. Specialist said it would not affect me now but in the long run. Long story short, I now have asthma, bronchitis, upper respiratory infection etc. Which I’ve never had up until I go sick due to hospital. Can something still be done? This may will be 3 years.
