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.

what are the best products to remove mold and mildew from the shower?

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!

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?

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?
