The headline claiming a "link" was found is hardly the truth. What a sensational headline when the story plainly states they are still looking for the cause, or real link. Bad journalism, sensationalized headline leave readers disappointed in what sounded like the causal factor.

There is a man who contracted this disease that lives in Prenter, Boone County and the CDC never came to his home to check out where he might have gotten it now he is in a nursing home.

The microbes live and multiply in building air conditioning units.Most newer commercial installations have UV lights to kill this, fungi and other microbes that can grow in the condensation from AC.Home units also have the sterilizer lights now.

The least they could do is a simple test to check. Someone did die of this disease that worked in this building. It is not too much to ask and is only fair to those of us who have to work in this building everyday. It could possibly but our mind at ease.

Lindy's comments is absolutely correct. I am an employee on 2nd floor of building 5 and I have been sick more in the past four years than I have been the other 16 years of state employment. Ever since they started cleaning the window units and renovating on the 3rd floor for the new Homeland Security area, I have been sick with cold or flu like symptoms at least monthly. A prescription once a month is becoming expensive, not to mention the lost days of work. I am ready to demand an air quality test of this area to see what we are inhaling every day and then determine what can be done to correct the situation. I keep remembering how the employees at the old Workers' Comp building kept saying their building was "sick" and no one listened. Then they realized how sick when they gutted the building for the ball park offices.

THEY HAVE WORKED ON THE AIR AND COOLING SYSTEM IN BUILDING FIVE AND ON 2COND FLOOR THE DRIANING LEAKED ONTO THE CARPETS AND THEY DRIED IT OUT WITH FANS BUT DID NOT TAKE OUT THE WET INSULATION AND PUT NEW AND IT LOOKS TO HAVE BLACK MOLD ON IT IN PLACES. ALSO NO CLEANING AND DISIFECTING HAS BEEN DONE. I THINK ALL OF THIS ONE SIDE OF THE BUILDING HAS PROBLEMS. QUITE A FEW EMPLOYEES HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ALLERGIES/RESPORTORY/EYES SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THESE UNITS.

They should at least check bldg 5 out. If it killed the woman it's at least worth a check and see before someone else contracts it.
