Black Mold

wondering4365 asked:


My coworker and I are experiencing the same symptoms and we can’t for the life of us figure out what could be wrong. We both have the need to urinate more frequently, have been exhausted, and have sudden memory loss. We’ll be in the middle of a sentence and lose our train of thought and not remember what we were talking about. When we get the urge to urinate it’s like “I have to go now or I’ll explode!” We were wondering if it had anything to do with work (mold, toxic fumes, etc.). We work in an office building that has rats (been here for a year and a half and have heard reports of about 5) and is not brand-new. If anyone can help us, or steer us in the correct direction, it would be appreciated.

Thanks!

P.S. Pregnancy is out. Periods were right on schedule.

Black Mold

SweetAdeline asked:


I live by myself in an apartment w/ negligent landlords. Noticed a few weeks ago black mold growing on ceiling of my bathroom. It seems that upstairs tenant may have had problems w/ his toilet because the spot w/ the mold is slightly warped from wetness, and located where his toilet would be. I have called landlords twice, left messages on their machine, four days apart. They haven’t gotten back to me. I plan on sending a certified letter to them so I have proof they received it.
With 4months of my lease remaining, I worry that they will not let me out of it & I will have to pay the remaining months. Do they have to let me out of the agreement by law because it is unsafe? I have no options, no place to go when they eventually come to clean it. Should I require landlords put me up in a hotel?
What shall I do in the meantime? How much of a risk does this pose? Ive been getting headaches at night but am unsure if they are related. Should I remove all my belongings from the bathroom and keep the door closed?
How can I tell if it’s affected anything else in my apartment; if the spores can travel and spread. Do I need to get rid of anything in my apartment?

Some of the people ive spoken to dont think its a real threat, but it doesnt sit well with me.
It isnt something I can clean the surface of. It looks like the drywall needs to be cut out and replaced. There is no window. The vent is weak, and I ALWAYS use the fan when showering.

Male Yeast Infection Treatment

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.
