Try this page
: If someone could provide me with any
: information?
: My office is located on the 1st floor of a 7
: story bldg. We've been experiencing water
: linking from the outside and seeping into our
: offices, etc. The building management tried
: to seal the areas but it continues to be a
: problem. Today, one of my colleagues
: discovered "red slime/mold, etc. growing
: under that thick plastic mat you place under
: your chair so that the carpet doesn't get
: messed up and the chair rolls easier. To our
: amazement, I had the same thing and 3 others
: (total of 5 of us-we are next to the glass
: wall of the building that leaks). All of us
: have "noticed" that our plastic
: mats were turning red but we just thought it
: was the plastic getting discolored from
: age??? We started recalling when we first
: "noticed" the redness and its been
: about 8 mo.-year. It is obviously a
: "living thing", it is red, pink or
: beet red. It is moist, slimey and smelly.
: I am concerned that this is red mold. Does
: this sound like red mold? Please help. I've
: notified by company, management and they are
: "sort-of-matter-of-fact" about it.
: I read up on Legionella and Legionnaires
: Disease. I cannot find anything about it
: "growing" like this? The
: conditions are great in the office: moisture,
: heat, the plastic, etc. Or maybe we have red
: algae??? Anything you can provide would be
: helpful. I need to mentioned that we have
: been sick and feeling sick (feverish, cough,
: muscle pain, headache, migraines, fatigue) or
: sometime but ,again, thought it was just
: "stress." I will be contacting our
: Department of Health as well. My email is
: rokero@att.net
: Ph (808)282-9045.
: Thank you.
