Hungry Anyone?
An AT&T building in San Jose had to be evacuated yesterday with seven employees hospitalized due to what? An unplugged refrigerator which resulted in a fridge full of moldy food. Yummy.
I haven’t experienced a fridge full of moldy food where I work…yet, however I’m convinced there IS mold elsewhere in the building. Because the company I work for
isn’t corporate, they aren’t required to test for mold…so do they? Nope. Common health effects of mold according to the CDC include throat irritation, nasal stuffiness, coughing, wheezing and eye irritation. One would think after having water seep through the ceiling tiles for months, it would prompt someone to test. That would make too much sense though.
When it comes to food mold though, one of my coworkers forgot about an orange she stashed away in her drawer until our whole area started to gag from the smell. Smelling that makes me never want to have an orange ever again. It was rancid. No one even knew what the smell was though until days later when she opened up the drawer again. As if I don’t suffer enough while I’m there WITHOUT worrying about breathing in some toxic fumes.
