Black Mold

the_new_mayhem asked:


I have been sick for about a month now. The symptoms include dizziness, light sensitivity, fatigue, mood changes like irritibility, anxiety, and mild depression. It is affecting my life severely. When I am home, it is difficult to do anything because I feel so bad all the time. I have been to the doctor and he cannot find anything wrong with me. The other day (after i saw the doctor) we found large patches of a black mold growing behind our sink which has been leaking for a while. There was also some reddish mold in the bathroom ceiling tiles and shower. A little bit of blackish mold in the shower. Do you think that could be possibly causing me an illness? I have been living here for 6 months (renting) and got pnemonia 2 weeks after I moved in, occasional dizzy spells, and a bad sinus infection a few weeks ago. Someone with any knowledge of this, please help. This illness is ruining my life.

I’ve been sick for a very long time and no one seems to know why after all sorts of test were run. The more I hear about black mold I’m really starting to wonder about that. I have no health insurance and was wondering if there was any at home tests that I could do, for myself and for my home? Any information could help – thanks!

Exposure Black Mold

Magic Mouse asked:


Especially, in the lower zones like Malabon, are wood framed homes at high risk? The home I am worried about was flooded 2 or 3 times just this year alone (about 10cm deep in the house). Is this black mold a common health threat there? What are the symptoms of being exposed to the spores continuosly in high amounts?

Exposure Black Mold

GroundZERO 63 asked:


I helped to clean out a basement that had been severly flooded a couple years ago and the entire thing was full of black mold on the walls. We where there for about 4 hours, we where in and out of the basement. Don’t you have to breath it for long periods of time before is has any permanent affects?
