hello, i am a 45 year old woman, i have been having symptoms of coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, weakness, feeling nausea, coughing up white foamy mucus, stuffy nose, headache, body ache, and sleeplessness, and i have complained about these symptoms to my employer, because i believe i am exposed to black mold at my place of employment. i am not the only one complaining about this, there are other employees feeling the same way if not worse... one of my coworkers was out of work for 5 weeks with pnemonia, and now i am diagnosed with adult onset asthma... please tell me that i should not be working in this environment.... thank you feeling sick
