Myalgic Encephalitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Articles on ME/CFS are included here because of reports from some patients and advocates, including, most notably, Erik Johnson and Lisa Petrison, that mould was a significant contributing factor to their illness, and that mold avoidance was significant in regaining health. Further, science journalists who report on CFS tend to highlight the deep problems in accurately and ethically researching and reporting findings of studies on complex chronic illnesses, an issue that extends to those with biotoxin illness.
