a few of my friends want to explore an old building today that was abandoned along time ago, and i am freaking out about the chance of inhaling toxic mold spores and getting brain damage. i know countless people who have visited it… but they’re not rocket scientists. we have some old gas masks (not sure if the filters are still good), do you think being in an old building (17 years empty) for an hour is dangerous?

I have unknowingly been exposed to mold in my home and my family has been greatly affected by it., I have gone through a number of symptoms like respiratory problems, ect. I have noticed more and more that my hair is not as thick as it used to be. Im only 16 so its not an age where I’d have to worry about hair thinning. I have been told many times when getting my hair cut that my hair is very thick. Now when I go, they say “oh your hair is so thin we need to give it some body” Its odd. Will my hair grow in thick again? Its healthy but I have less of it. My hair is something that has given me confidence, now im not so sure. Any suggestions to help it grow thick again would be appreciated thank you!

Hey,

I came home after 10 days, cleaned out my trash, and found a old apple core at the bottom on my basket with black mold growing from it. I through it out and sprayed the basket with lysol. Should I be worried?
( I heard black mold is toxic.. I don’t know if it only applies to the one found in walls)

really nasty story but here is the conclusion, i have an empty water bottle that has fart gases inside it and its completely sealed. also has a napkin to “absorb” the smell. its probably around 2 or 3 months old and it is starting to get mold on the napkin. how toxic would it be for a person to smell this or for me to open the bottle?
