Metro Spirit News Affected by mold Iris Harden's story. Issue #20.05 :: 08/27/2008 - 09/02/2008 BY MORGAN RINEY AUGUSTA, GA The CSRA's most outspoken crusader on the subject of mold and the illnesses it can cause is Iris Harden. She blames mold for depriving her of her home, belongings and health. In June 2003, she and her husband Tommy lived in Harlem, Ga. She was already immune compromised. Soon after they moved in, Iris began experiencing strange symptoms including acute abdominal pain, hurting lungs, muscle pain. Iris Harden's health has been debilitated by mold. "I didn't think anything of it but it got worse and worse and worse," she said. "I remember after it got really bad I looked in the mirror one day. I always took good care of myself, and I started screaming and called my husband in there; there were indentions in my face. "There was a weird sensation in there. It scared me to death." Iris said there was a water leak in the home that had been there about a year. "It was just a small leak, though, not too bad. We told our landlord about the leak, didn't tell him it was making me sick, I didn't realize it. It never got repaired." Tommy, who had always been healthy, began to experience different symptoms. "He coughed up tons of mucus - literally a Coke can of mucus a day," Iris said. "He still does." In fact, it has worsened. "His stomach is all swollen. They think something is leaking in his gut." The couple went to and from the emergency room. Iris looked at an X-ray she had taken after being in the house for 11 months. She was diagnosed with a lung disease that usually comes from toxic exposure. There is no cure for it.continued.
