The Cleveland
Incident & the CDC
There has been a
widely reported case regarding the deaths of some Cleveland infants
between 1993 and 1994. Some articles say eight infants died. Other
articles say ten died. One article even says that forty-five died.
The cause of death,
according to these articles, is that the babies died of acute
idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage that was traced back to water damage
in their homes and the subsequent infestation by the mold species
Stachybotrys ChartarumIn.
The articles also
say that the cause of death was determined in a study done by The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC (Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention) web site says something different.
They say that “this remains to be proved” and that no one really knows
what causes acute idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage.
The cause of death
may have been the mold, as the articles claim. However, the claim
that the CDC identified that as the cause of death is not true. So, to
paraphrase Fox Mulder of the X-Files, “the truth is still out there.” |
