Sue Hartigan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: ATLANTA, April 6 (UPI) _ A black, slimy mold has been linked to unexplained infant deaths and some consider it as dangerous to remove as asbestos. Researchers say (Monday) the mold, stachybotrys atra (``STACK'-ee-bah-tris ah-trah''), causes infants' lungs to rupture and bleed by inhibiting protein growth in babies younger than six months. They say the study, published in April issue of the journal Pediatrics, is the first to link the mold to human illness. The researcher, of the Centers for Disease Control's Air Pollution and Respiratory Branch in Atlanta, has been studying a cluster of infant deaths in Cleveland. -- Two rules in life: 1.
