Victims of Toxic Mold
Are You A Victim of Toxic Mold?
There are so many out there being affected by mold, toxic and non. Toxic mold is so dangerous yet there is no one who seems to understand the dangers caused by the infestation of toxic mold.
Still, there are those few; the few that have to live with it day in and day out, those people out there being severely affected by toxic mold. Deadly Mold.
In the following paragraph an exerpt from a victim of toxic mold – she tells her story :
We are all across the country. Myself, not having a choice but to live in the nightmare has taken my life to destruction. Landlords have a choice whether to remediate the inhabitable home you had chose to live in.
Landlords did not tell me that I was moving into an unsafe, unhealthy apartment that would turn my life and physical health into destruction. Denial is a serious issue as we all know to well. Why don’t landlord’s have to seek professional help when they are in denial?
They are human just as we are, but are not faced with professionals telling them the toxic mold that you claim is affecting your health does not exist even though proven.

I also have many stories posted in my web site’s forum of tragedies of how people have become ill from these deadly toxins, When are our government officials going to recognize this as a national health crisis. They should talk to us, the mold victim’s, they should live in our home’s for a week (the one’s that are still toxic), experience our illnesses and then ask themselves if they would let themselves, their families or friends live the nightmare.
Open their eyes. I just want my health back,and more than likely will not happen since I am still in the toxic environment, no choice of my own.
I invite all to visit my website, free membership under the forum. Read the true life stories.

Its great to know that!I too live in a mold infested house that i rent month to month there is mold in the basement ,the bathroom ceiling,my bedroom wall (lower corners). I used kills on the bathroom ceiling so far so good. my landlord is going to get someone in here to fix the bedroom ceiling which lost a large amount of plaster from the roof leak which has been fixed a couple weeks ago and the wall. What i would like to know is what are the symptoms ? and what can i do about it? my landlord never mentioned to me that this place has a mold problem, i have been living with this stuff for 6 yrs.

Joslyn on October 22nd, 2007William,
There are many many symptoms that one can experience from mold exposure. I strongly suggest that if you do have mold in your home, have it tested to determine what you are dealing with. I would not suggest waiting to be seen by a physician though, as these illnesses can be quite dangerous from toxic molds.
Once again, I invite all to go to my website where you can read many research articles from experts and also join the forum where I just welcomed an expert toxicologist to my group, Dr. Jack Thrasher Ph.D.
Respectfully,

Kristen,
You are so right, this problem never seems to be corrected. I am going to recommend you go onto another site that deals with the wrong doings of insurance companies and the mold issues. I would also contact the owner of the website as she is top notch when it comes to homes, insurance companies, and mold. The site is Policy Holders of America at http://www.policyholdersofamerica.org/
Once again you can also visit my website at http://www.moldenvironment.com
I also have a forum with top notch experts that are members ie toxicologist, fetaltoxicologists, environmental experts from many areas, if you have any questions.
As always, if you need help you can email me through my website at any time.
Take care and God Bless,

how do you post a new listing on moldblogger?
nancy on April 2nd, 2010Kristen: I sympathize with you as my family is living in a very similar situation, except we built a new home. The builder walked away from it without finishing it and there are leaks everywhere. The grinder pump was wired incorrectly, catching fire and flooding basement, so now it is full of mold. Our pets are all sick and dog is dying of cancer. Our 16 yr old formerly healthy daughter has numerous mold poisoning symptoms and all kinds of kinds of allergies, asthma and has to use an inhaler. But doctors say it is difficult to prove it is due to mold, even tho house was inspected and found to have 4 kinds of mold, including the very dangerous black mold. Please feel free to email me–I will be interested to hear of your progress. Good luck
vickie yencha on April 9th, 2010We certainly understand the frustration caused by the professionals who choose to ignore the truth about mold toxins.
Karen and Felicia Smith on May 19th, 2010I am 12 weeks pregnant and there is black mold on my bfs ceiling above the bed. He refuses that it’s mold, says it’s just a water stain and has been there for 6 years without moving. Well I have not been around for 6 years and I haven’t really noticed it (I just found out what black mold is) and I’m telling him water stains that are black.. is MOLD! Well anyways he painted it today. Now I’m freaking out. How long will it take for the mold to eat through the paint? I really don’t want to put my health and my babies health in risk. By the way, I was born with asthma.
Arianna on June 1st, 2010Contact The Environmental Solution posted on this site. They use a safe, non-chemical formula that actually improves air quality, at the same cost as harmful chemical remediation. Remember that MOLD KILLS. Find out about how to test if symptoms are from mycotoxin/toxigenic mold exposure. Only drs who specialize in this know how to treat it. As far as I know, there are only about 6 in the country. Check out my website at http://www.areyoumoldy.com for more info.
Lori Tondini on June 23rd, 2010If you see mold you should remove it right away. Do not take any chances with mold. If it comes back then you need to call someone to see where the mold is coming from, but try to remove it first yourself and save your self some money.
Ski on June 24th, 2010I am now living in a condo where i once lived 9 years ago with my family. My family has been living at this condominuim complex for over 20 years and a new landlord arrived before I moved in. I was aware that the very same condo that I am living in now is in fact the same condo that a man died from mold right before we moved in. Now our landlord is trying to kick us out because a dog we watched ate part of the bedroom door. We are offering to pay for the damages (even though we already have) and fix it ourselves. But if there is mold in the condo still then they must be aware of the situation that has happened before we moved in. If that is the case I need to know for sure all of the symptoms I am having are mold related or not. Also is there any way for us to check for mold or do we need an expert?
Mariah on September 27th, 2010WoW! what an unbelievable story… Sorry almost unbelievable. I believe it. Its too bad that their is no longer concern for others in this world, by anyone in the game of buying & selling. Making money seems to be the only goal. Unfortuanitly it dosent stop when the market is good either.
sandra on October 28th, 2010In my opinion, Every one needs to go to a course of some sort before they buy a house. Don’t rely on just the inspectors. Even on new construction they fudge reports for the almighty buck.. You know they one they will pass if they get caught
Fortunately my husband & I are knowledgable in most areas of building & construction., but even we can get sloppy & overlook things. Get Two opinions, & make sure they do not know each other.
Even in a court case If one Lawyer or Judge has a fault… Another will not dispute it. There kinsmen you know and will not squeal on another.
Know the county in which you are buying & the codes, Know what is acceptable & not. Know what documents are necessary & do not rely only on your builder to obtain them (demand to see them yourself). Take a measuring tape with you when the inspector is looking at your house. Know what questions to ask him, & follow him looking at everything he does & making your own notes.
If your building a home, be there when the inspectors are to hear what he is telling the builders.
