Dog Killed by Moldy House

Thursday, June 23, 2005

A news report published by NBC affiliate WBAL in Baltimore, says that mold growing within the structure of a woman's condominium not only killed her husband and her father, but her dog too.

Water had seeped into the walls, spawning mold, and eventually infected her entire family, including herself.
"Our dog started showing signs first and actually treated him for lymphoma," Coleman said.

Snipes reported that Mr. Jiggs had to be put down in May 2001. In the fall of that year, Juanita found out she had carcinoid cancer, which attacked her bowel and spread to her liver. Then on New Year's Eve, doctors told her husband he had colon cancer.
Mold spores in your house is not something to be taken lightly.

  • I am interested in knowing what the first symptoms the dog had were.
    I know I have mold in my home, as I am only really allergic to one thing "mold", and I have moderate to severe allergies.
    I have a dog and two cats, and they all have hair loss in their hind quarters, which I know to be from allergies.
    I have been stumped as to what they could be allergic to, as they dont have fleas.
    So now I am thinking possibly it might be mold.
    Thank you

  • I wonder if anyone has looked into the affects of mold on mold detection dogs. This is a subject which concerns me after seeing an increase number of these dogs marketed with the justification that dogs are not affected. One trainer was even quoted as saying that the dogs are not affected because they do not inhale.If these dogs are getting sick their use should stop. check out mold detection dogs and help answer these question.
    Thank you
