My sister is out of the country - need help

[bpet]

My sister in living in Honduras.  She has been very sick for almost 2 weeks.  I'm very worried about her symptoms.  She can't seem to get the energy to get up, her headaces are horrific, her ears are swollen almost shut, she has lumps all over the back of her head and neck, her eyes are black and blue, her forehead is swelled and black and blue.  she has not had an accident nor has she been attacked by anyone.  The "doctors" there say its from bad water?? I think there is more to this than bad water and want her to come home.  Can someone please tell me what they think could be going on so I can pass it on to her and try to convince her she needs to get to the  U.S. specialists??

Hi,
How is your sister? Was she able to see the doctor and had blood tests done? Without the proper assessment for the allergic effect, mold infection and toxic reaction, a complete treatment program cannot be inittiated. Laboratory reports and cultures are also important for immediate treatment plan. Treatment for hypersensitivity, toxins and infection will depend on the results. Take care and do keep us posted.

After talking more to my sister and and going over how this all began, we think we have this narrowed down to TOXIC MOLD POISONING.  She lives on a tropical island.  They went to visit friends for drinks that had flown in for a week in their villa.  She only drank the bottled water from their cooler that is only hooked up when they are staying there.  We are now wondering if mold had not grown in the water cooler during their absence and/or the air conditioning vents/filters are covered in mold.  They are tearing everything apart as I type this.  She has many of the symptoms of toxic mold poisoning - headaches, bruising, swelling from bodies own hystimine reaction to fungas in her body (stress makes her forehead swell out about an inch over her eyes!), skin lesions on head and arms, lymph nodes swollen, bumps on head, neck and behind ears, hair is falling out, extreme abdominal pain......all of these are symptoms of toxic mold poisoning.   She is also going to the doctor for blood tests to see if mold is present in her system. Sure sounds like it though.....will update later.
