You can clean the mold with borax and hydrogen peroxide…but it will come back if the SOURCE is not eliminated. You can also clean the air ducts, that is where it is being circulated. You have to REBUILD your immune system otherwise it will be a lifelong problem, even AFTER getting out of the place. It is absorbed via the skin, sinuses, mouth, head, etc. It is in the body, then because it is there parasites set up shop, then viruses. It is not a joke, and I BELIEVE, the center of most diseases, including cancer. Check out the cancer connection with mold… Doctors’ know the cause, most!

I would like to know how to get a college dorm room and science building tested for this mold? My daughter has most of these symptoms and we have had her tested for everything. We are trying to make an appointment for her to see a lung specialist.

Has anyone had any luck finding a mold cleaner that not only cleans, but prevents mold from coming back in consistently wet/damp areas?

Kelly, I completely agree with you!! It’s disgusting!! I wonder how he would feel if it were him, or his mother!! Then, people like him “might”, (but I doubt it) understand what it’s like being the victim and people like that have to almost die themselves before they could EVER put themselves in someone else’s shoes!! I do not believe his comment should even be allowed to remain on this site!!! SICKO

this is in response to steves post from january 24 of 2010..

The manner in which you mock this subject is very disturbing. It makes me think that you may possibly be an ‘angry owner’ of a ‘toxic mold farm’ that has gotten you in some trouble. These people have health problems caused by toxic mold, not bread mold. My mother is dying from the same thing, and I blame the management for her illness because THEY neglected to repair water damages from 5 yrs ago, and many since then, even though we requested it repeatedly. If we had known there was so much mold, we would have NEVER stayed so long. My mother had respitory illness already, so the effects of mold poisoning are severe. The other people living there have all had their share of illness. It isn’t a joke. Mold IS horrible. Thats why it is described as horrible. Mock on, but don’t think you are clever or funny.. It’s just wierd and ignorant….oh yeah, and guilty of bieng negligent.

My husband and I lived in a rented house. One and a half months after moving into the house he developed bronchitis. He had Hep C and 1 year to the day we moved in to the house he died. I also had chronic bronchial problems, but continued to live there for 2 more years. After many bouts with bronchitis, 6 months later he was in and out of the hospital 16 times. He died of Pneumonia. I moved out 2 months ago, during a bout of pneumonia myself. The new tenant contacted me a few days ago. SHe has felt ill, her boyfriend has developed pneumonia, and had the house checked for mold. The inspector said in all of his work, this was as bad as he has ever seen. Not only is the mold under the house but also in the attic due to improper insulation. The house was built in the 70′s. The owner is a realtor, and should have disclosed this issue or had the house checked. I am NOW sure that the house not only killed my husband, but caused my illnesses as well. Now that I know that there is mold and issues with the house, do I have any recourse with the landlord?

Hi Joslyn, Jonathan, and Joshua

I work for a company who has developed a product that is effective and safe against mold. I would like to recommend for them to send you guys a sample of the product to check out. Are you receptive to that? If so, where may I have them ship?

Love your content.

I recently moved back to Wisconsin to take care of my Mom after being in KS for the past 12 years.
I’m not sure if my Moms’ symptoms are related to mold, but am hoping somebody can email me back with some answers. My Mom is 73 years old and was recently diagnosed with depression, however,she has some of the symptoms associated with mold from what I have read in the blogs. Her symptoms are as follows: severe trembling,uncontrolllable voice tics, i.e. she says “Oh” “Oh my God” “What did I do” constantly pacing the floor,eyes watering, hard coughing, confused, anxiety etc.
After being in her home after 3 days, I became VERY ill. After I was better,I went on a 3 day break, and when I returned to Mom’s home, I became sick all over again.
PLEASE… I need help to find out what has happened to Mom. If anybody has any answers to this, please email me back, I need all the help I can get
