"Drainage from the back of the neck"? So he's got an open wound on the back of the neck that's draining? Or is this upper respiratory/sinus/nasal drainage we are talking about?
The drainage is coming through the nose and mouth, (nasopharynx), right? Not really out "the back of the neck?"

Anyway, it sounds like it well could be a mold infection. They can come from where you work or live, and can be especially common if you have done some demo work.

Try an infectious disease specialist.

PS, I'm sorry about mis-reading your tone. I did not intend to impugn motives to you, which were not in your heart.Smile
