"A large number of people along the Louisiana and Mississippi coasts are developing a condition dubbed ``Katrina cough,'' believed to be linked to mold and dust circulating in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the LOS ANGELES TIMES reports on Friday.

Health officials are trying to determine how widespread the problem is, but suggest that it is popping up among people who have returned to storm-ravaged areas, particularly New Orleans.

How sad. I wonder how long before they can sanitize those areas...
Havent they suffered enough?
I wish them well.

This reminds me about the 'World Trade Center cough'.

Wish them well.

i hope that is is not something i should worry about. I have returned to my home on multible times in St Benard (Hit worse than NO) and i only recently (4 months after) began to feel as if i am choking.

Hey my roomate caught it....then my b/f and everyone at work....It's pretty widespread.

We call it the "Katrina Gunk"
