After hurricane sandy i inadvertently inhaled a large amount of dry mouse urine. not one doctor has ever listened and responded to what i told them i was exposed to. they just treat me like an asthma patient which is not helping. i cant breathe. help?

I am sorry that your docs don't seem to listen to your history. I would suggest a allergy/ pulmonary medicine doc and while visiting insist whether your symptoms are from that or not. Asthma like symptoms do not usually have such history- Good luck
