I have been sick at work for a few months and another employee had a substance prevalent on site tested and it came back for several types of mold. My employer says that OSHA tested the site but never gave us the results. I have missed a lot of time for several weeks now since o started on this job site.

I went to a Doctor at the beginning of my ailments and was told it could be a respiratory infection. I was prescribed antibiotics but they haven't helped.

Hi ****, given the situation, it might be beneficial to speak with a lawyer. Can you provide a bit more information about the work environment or any other symptoms you've experienced?
I am working on a data center where different equipment are sent in from several parts of the country. I wasn't aware of any mold until a coworker pointed it out. Since I have started I have been experiencing flu like symptoms several times a week as well as difficulty breathing every day I work and sometimes the day after. I do not have the breathing problems at home but have what seems like constant bronchitis
