But Mark Raymond has made up his mind about what he wants to do.

"I don't want this house," the resident of 45 Woodland Ave. said. "With my health, I want to get out."

Raymond is a double amputee with a compromised immune system whose medical problems stem from a shooting in 1991.

"I have the immune system of a 2-year-old," he said.

Raymond is particularly worried about a mold test showing that stachybotrys and aspergillus were found in his home.

"Both of those are toxic molds," he said.

Stachybotrys Chartarum is a fungus that thrives on materials high in cellulose and low in nitrogen content, such as wallpaper, thermal insulation, fiberboard, drywall and gypsum board.

Stachybotrys can form toxic chemicals called mycotoxins that can be harmful to people when inhaled or ingested.

The fungus is associated with a lung disorder and symptoms include coughing, wheezing, runny nose, eye and throat irritation, skin rash and diarrhea.

While aspergillus fungus is a key ingredient in the fermentation process for making citric acid and soy sauce, it also is believed to cause cancer and lung disease.

Raymond was away from home for more than a week visiting family and his health improved while away, then got worse when he returned home.

"I went home to my mom's. I woke up the next morning and it was gone," he said of the headache he has had for 7 1/2 months.

When he got home, so did the headache. Skin and sinus problems returned to him and his niece, Nicole Sickles, who owns the house with him, Raymond said.

His dogs started scratching profusely, something that they hadn't done since he left, he said.

"You can smell the mildew in my bedroom," Raymond said, adding that the sump pump in his basement isn't working.

Raymond said he will take the report, which he received Thursday, to his doctor.

Raymond added it is difficult for him to find another place where he can move around with his wheelchair, and has room for Ms. Sickles and his two dogs.

CHI has offered to pay for temporary lodging of any of the residents of the five houses.

Ron Fraley of 25 Woodland said he has not moved his family partly because the tester, Gary Gazda of HomeSure Home Inspections and Environmental Services, Baden, recommended that everything in the house be left there.

"Where I am I going to find a place for a family of five when I can't take my furniture?" Fraley said.
