Mold on Skin?

Can mold grow on skin? Why not? Skin is made of biodegradable material just like other materials that grow mold such as couches, carpet, or sheet rock. Because of this, skin is not immune to mold growth. Many people aren’t aware that mold on skin is even possible. However, any growth of mold on skin is considerably more dangerous than dealing with mold contamination on last night’s dinner or on your shower tiles. After all, it is growing directly on your body.

Causes of Mold on Skin

There are a variety of things which can cause the growth of mold on skin. Depending on what caused the mold growth, the treatment varies accordingly. Here are the 3 main causes for the growth of mold on skin:

  • Excess moisture from humidity or improper drying procedures.
  • Diet; too much yeast, etc.
  • Skin reaction from infection or other outside source.

Skin Moisture Prevention

Mold needs moisture, warmth, and fuel to reproduce and grow. The human body is an optimal place, as our body temperatures are high, and our skin is made of biodegradable, slightly porous material that mold spores love to attach onto. If your skin has too much moisture, it will be the perfect environment for mold growth.

If you aren’t drying your skin immediately and properly, or if the humidity levels are high, and your skin remains moist constantly without being able to dry out, it would only make sense that mold spores would begin to reproduce.

Keeping on top of moisture problems will help prevent fungal growth on your skin.

Be sure to keep the humidity levels, especially in your home, low and dry. Be sure after bathing, that all areas especially the warmer places like armpits, are completely dried.

Wear loose fitting, breathable clothing that allows excess moisture and perspiration to evaporate. If you notice new or strange marks on your skin, always get a professional to assess it right away. A skilled dermatologist will be able to determine if it is indeed mold on skin.

High Yeast Diets Increase Chances of Mold

Skin is the largest organ of the human body. It also tends to be the last place on your body that shows signs of inner problems. Many of your body’s waste products are secreted out of your skin through sweat glands and pores. Many times, if too many yeast containing products are consumed, there is an over abundance of yeast in the blood, which can result in yeast infections, or in an outbreak of mold on the skin.

Always consume a healthy, balanced diet that doesn’t contain high amounts of yeast. If you do notice mold growth on your body, always seek professional help from a licensed dermatologist. A dietitian may be required to assess and modify your diet.

Infection

If your body is already dealing with a problem, such as an infection, reduced immune system, or other problems, your natural defenses are compromised, and mold is more likely to get a foothold on your skin.

Treatment for Mold Growth on the Skin

Depending upon what the causes of mold growth are, there are several treatments options available. Always start with a small area to make sure you don’t have any adverse reactions, and consult with a doctor for persistent or severe cases.The following treatments are suggestions from different individuals who have attempted to deal with the growth of mold skin. If you are uncertain, always seek advice from your healthcare provider or dermatologist.

Disinfect Clothing and Bedding

Clothing can hold fungus or mold spores, re-introducing them even after you have cleaned your skin. Be sure to wash clothing in hot water after each wearing and also wash bedding as often as possible. If sheets are not being washed daily in hot water, wear clothing over the infected area to prevent retransmitting the fungus each night at bedtime. For items that directly touch the infected area, such as socks, soak them in vinegar for 15 minutes before washing.

External Topical Treatments

There are a number of different things that have been suggested for topical use on mold growth or fungal breakouts on the skin. Here is an easy to read list of ideas for semi-fast relief :

  • Dandruff shampoos for scalp
  • Athlete’s foot creams
  • Daily vinegar baths or apply packs soaked in vinegar water for 15 minutes.
  • Daily apply geranium essential oil in an olive oil base.
  • Apply a black walnut tincture daily with cotton.
  • Yeast infection medication cream like Monostat that can be found at most local drug stores.
  • Lavender oil
  • Coconut oil
  • Selsun Blue
  • Tea tree oil
  • Wash everyday with extra strength neem soap and an exfoliant.
  • Scrub with crushed Bayer aspirin. (salicylic acid kills fungus)
  • Apply coptis powder mixed with Pau D’Arco tincture as a paste over the effected area.
  • Clay Poultice – Purchase clay in powder form from a local health-food store, soak in water in a glass container for 2 hours, then apply directly to the skin or in a poultice.

[Advice from a Poster on Tribe.com]

Here is some advice from a poster on Tribe.com that may bring some insight on how to deal with mold on skin. This has not been vetted by a health professional, but it may help you if you are dealing with a mold outbreak.

Treatment needs to be done for at least 4 weeks daily for it to work completely.1. Make a mix of 1/2 witch hazel, 1/4 distilled water, and 1/4 apple cider vinegar. Use this on and around any areas of skin having issues. Apply with fresh cotton swab or cotton balls. DO NOT DOUBLE DIP!!! Meaning if the cotton swab/ball has touched your skin, you do not dip it into this mixture because it will contaminate it with the fungus. Use morning and night after washing face and allow to dry completely before using any other products. 2. Make a sea salt scrub by filling a small glass jar that has a tight closing lid about 1/2 way with sea salt. Pour olive oil on top and let it penetrate (stir a little if you need to), till all the salt is moistened, but not swimming in oil. Use once or twice a week before bed by taking out a bit with your fingertips and rubbing it onto affected areas. Scrub-a-dub-dub, rinse thoroughly with warm water and apply witch hazel/acv astringent. Once again, don’t double dip. If you need more wash and dry your hands thoroughly before getting more from the jar. Keep in mind that: – using products like makeup can reinfect you repeatedly so you might want to lay off makeup during treatment (if you use any) and replace it afterwards – lotion can spread it around so probably a good idea to not do that during treatment either (if you can I would try Rose’s suggestion of coconut oil as a moisturizer during treatment if you need it, extra virgin) – Also throw away any loofahs or scrubbies, or anything else you use on your body regularly. – For the 4 weeks you undergo treatment you need to use a new, freshly laundered wash cloth. – Also, add apple cider vinegar or white vinegar to everything you launder in hot water, about a cup per load.

Internal Treatments

In some cases, topical mixtures just will not permanently rid your skin of mold growth. In these cases it is entirely possible that the growth is more than just a “fungal infection on the skin.” Other measures may need to be taken.

  • A diet lifestyle change may be the best option.
  • Eliminating completely yeast, sugar, and wheat.
  • Trying a yeast cleanse while stopping from eating any more yeasts.
  • Consuming a Pau D’Arco tincture daily
  • Drinking a glass of cranberry juice a day.

Conclusion

Mold is sneaky. It can grow quickly in the most inappropriate places, and one of those places just so happens to be your skin. Mold on skin is no joke. It can cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching and pain. If left unattended, mold on skin can create serious complications. Prevention is always best when it comes to preventing mold, but because it is sneaky, you may find yourself in a situation where mold has snuck into your life. If you think you have mold growing on your body, you can try some of the treatments listed above or see your doctor for suggestions and remedies.

I am so interested in this topic as the strangest thing happened to me a few years ago. I had been having skin reactions daily, specifically to the area around my eyes, then one morning I woke up and in the corners of my eyes there was a brown discoloration that continued to spread for a few days. The discoloration has persisted and I went to several doctors who were no help at all. I finally did a little research of my own and realized that it was mold related. Needless, to say it is the most persistent and somewhat difiguring ailment. Although, I am not constantly ill , I know my immune system has been compromised. I immediately started using Selsun Blue to my face and the itching stopped after a few applications, but the discoloration is still noticeable. It is very depressing, because I get many mean comments from people ranging from " You need to get some sleep" to " Have you ever been arrested for doing drugs?".

My Mother has been told she has mold on one of her heels. Her doctor told her soak her foot everyday in Dawn dishsoap but this is not helping. Any suggestions that might get rid of this??

We have what I believe is the first stage of what could be mold or possibly mildew. My sink was dripping for some time and underneath was dark - maybe brown or black. We had been spraying the area with bleach and water. Then one day I got mad and decided to clean up the area. I didn't have gloves so I used plastic bags on my hands and I wrapped my nasal area with a scarf so I wouldn't breath in anything. However, when I stopped cleaning there was some dirt or residue on my arms. Can I expect I was exposed? If so, how do I prevent any adverse reactions.

About 3 months ago, as IZ wasx washing my left ear out with a washcloth, I felt what I thought was a dirt or wax build up inside the first fold of my outer ear area. Cleaning one finger nail of debris under it, I used it to try and scrape the debris out. When I felt the area with the fleshy part of my left index finger, it felt like I had been successful; but a couple of days later, as I was inspecting the area again, I felt a large bump. I asked my wife to look at it with a magnifying glass. She said it was a very large moldy bump. And she said, evderyday, its bigger. What can I do with a mold spore inside an ear?

Michelle Castro August 28, 2011 - 4:40 pm
I have been living a nightmere. Since last November. I had a skin irritation that I would mess with when nervous and I was working 13 to 15 hours per day. I accumulated more dust than I probably should have at home. I didnt know this could happen. The worst part is my husband thinks I am crazy and making things up and that I am just going nuts. He told me I needed help and that he wanted his wife back. The first thing that happened was that I had a bump that would just move around my face and look so gross, then I noticed when I showered the water couldn't get cold enough. My ankles would swell and sometimes my arms and my stomach would get so bloated my chlothes and shoes didnt fit. I was eating a diet of straight sugar and soda or anything I could grab on the run. Now it all makes sense but then i just thought it was stress related. I even act weird. I cannot keep a thought together and my relationshiop is falling apart. The problem is now its getting worse. Every food item that is in the house is unsealed beore i unseal it or I will put things in zip lock and I go to grab it and its open. Is that possible? I try to eat when my husband is here so he doesnt baker act me or something but I instantly get diarehha and bloated. Sometimes my ankles get stiff especially if I am cleaning all day which lately is all the time. My son is an ac tech (who also thinks I am nuts) and went up into the handler and said it was covered with mold. He dumped tons of bleach on it and when he turned it back on and for like an hour I felt like my old self. Then right back to my worn out yucky self. It's bad enough for me but the worst part for me is my dog. It looks like every step is so hard and now that i am putting it all together it makes sense. She also started getting bump on her head and like these horseshoe shape marks on her skin. Its breading my heart. My husband explained this one by saying "she is getting old" she is 4 for goodness sake. I will only drink water from water bottles but sometimes that doesnt even help. my dog rarely eats because whatever it is gets in her food and water. I cannot take it another day. I swear I am living in hell. Oh and my pool area seems like it never dries and i see this white slime like substance in the skimmer and it attaches to the dead bugs . Ugh So now I wont swim. I am starting to be able to tell where there are by feelingz my dogs skin. The hot areas are the ones that are hurting her and the only thing that help is when i wipe her down with rubbing alcohol on a wash cloth. I do laundry non stop and am curruntly not working so i am in this house all the time with my dog. My husband asked me "why is it just you that this is effecting?: UGH.....I told him "because you work two jobs and one of them is a 24 hour shift 3 times per week and you dont clean do laundry or shower here. I dont know what to do and no one believes me and it hurts but right now I need to put my feelings aside and figure something out. You know its bad when your dog gets "stung or whatever it is and she comes to me whining and looking up at me and refuses her treats....then I know its time for a alcohol wipe. Please help us

Michelle, thank you of sharing your experience and I am sorry to hear that things have been so difficult for you. Have you had your home tested for mold recently? Also, have you read Lori Tondini's book, "Are You Moldy?" I think you may find it very encouraging.

To those having to endure skin issues along with their dogs I do have a few suggestions. First, put your dog on an all meat diet. There are many websites out there that can give you tips on this diet but it is basically feeding them raw (it's easier but cook it if they won't eat it) meat. I noticed a huge difference in my dog that had been struggling for two years with this skin condition after only two days of a purely meat diet. Next, use any of the above mentioned natural skin products and start taking a good probiotic that will have writing on the box indicating the gel coating will help the bacteria survive the stomach acid. Eat a high protien diet and you can use coconut oil with other oils in your cooking. I use coconut oil on the hot spots on my great dane and the beautiful part is that it doesn't burn and any that she licks off can only help her on the inside. I have even cooked some of the dog's meat in coconut oil to add in the benefits that the oil provides. You are not crazy and you are not gross or unclean and deserved this in any way. All you can do is research and trust your gut when you know something isn't right. Ignoring the problem to make others comfortable will only make things worse. Trust me, I know from experience. Don't feel the need to explain anything to those that thought it was in your head, just let the results speak for themselves and wait for them inquire how you solved the problem. Thinking outside the box isn't for everyone but for YOU make it a daily mantra! Good luck!

peter November 10, 2012 - 5:31 pm
About a month ago I fell asleep in my bath tub(which six ppl use, big household). I woke up went to bed and figured I would wash off next day. I did, but by evening time I had developed a rash behind ears(which had been itchy for about 3-4 days before) and many brown moldy spots over my whole body. The spots then multiplied and have been since. My face even has them. All my skin folds have dark moldy looking lines in them. Could this be mold? Also during that time my tongue has turned white(fuzzy film cover). Does that mean it's internal as well? I have also developed a dry cough(just 3-4 times day, bit definitely new). Does this sound like mold/fungus or something else. I have taken many hot baths for just as long b4 but never had that reaction b4. Very confused.

Greetings from Idaho! I'm bored to death at work so I decided to browse your website on my iphone during lunch break. I love the knowledge you provide here and can't wait to take a look when I get home. I'm shocked at how fast your blog loaded on my cell phone .. I'm not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyhow, excellent blog!
Tracey August 27, 2013 - 2:02 pm
My problem started Sept 2012. I had a staph infection on my scalp. Then shingles all over my face, both sides, then impetigo. Still having rashes on my face and skin folds. I am single and live with my small dog and want to date but look terrible. My condo is old built in the 40's and was told one neighbor had mold and the other one scabies. I have been to the dermatologist so many times. Even paid to see one whom didn't take my ins. for a second opinion. No answers. I have fluid lumps on my scalp that if i push on it a sticky liquid comes out. My nipples are leaking, facial pores stuff coming out. Ears always dirty when I clean with q tips after showers. White gunk in the corners of my eyes and loosing hair. Skin now cracking open on bottom of toes and heels. My dog is only 2 and can't get on the bed or couch anymore. He is an 11 lb dog. No new food and he has no fleas b/c he's on comfortis and take him to be groomed regularly. He shakes his hair like he's trying to shake something off. It looks like a red pin sized scab under my skin on my face and if I pull it off with tweezers it bleeds a lot. I have to use a big mirror to see these spots. I am also getting brown spots near my eyebrows and noticed my skin doesn't come back out when I use tweezers. It stays dented in. I have also gained a lot of weight in the past 9 months, more then I have ever weighed in my life. Diet hasn't changed. I have a low immune system too. I started taking a lot of vitamins been to the health food store and tried all kinds of stuff such as worm wood tincture and tea tree oil, coconut oil. Please help! My face is getting scared. I know I have some type of mite or parasite. I feel like something is biting my toes when I sleep or like I have an ingrown toe nail but I don't. Also, had my dog scratch my shoulder where I had surgery at the beach in a sandbar witch is stagnet water. That was before the staph infection when it first started. There was a hole in the top of my scalp the size of a pencil eraser! I think this is were it all started. I was getting bit by horse flies and masquitos. I am really scared b/c when I went to the hospital they admitted me to the physiatric ward b/c they think I was seeing things I had a headache and was throwing up clear stuff with particles in it and my stools were floating and had some red blood and looked like worms in it too. So, now I am labeled t!!Someone please help me!!
Tracey August 27, 2013 - 2:11 pm
How do I know if I have mold or my dog? I own my condo and can't afford to pay to get it removed b/c I heard it was expensive and am planning on moving soon too and want to be able to sell it. My neighbor across the hall has it and my building is old, built in the 40's. What can I do? Getting rashes and bad insomnia too. My dog can't get on the bed anymore or the couch and he's only 2! No diet changes for either one of us. I am getting rashes and serious ones such as staph, shingles, impitego and skin harden around fingernails and toes and heals too. Cracking and bleeding. Please help! Tracey
tracey August 27, 2013 - 3:26 pm
I just left a blog from Tracey about an hour ago about my problems I was having about staph inf, shingles and impetigo and left out a few other symptoms. Not only white gunk in corners of eyes and rashes but brain fog, looks like cashews in stools and eyes twitching and very bad insomnia. Also, pinky toe nail turning black from the moon part up. Skin peeling off around finger nails and on face but white things popping out of pores on face! White things and eyebrows growing fast and brown spots on skin. White on corners of mouth and gums receding so quickly I have to get another bridge, witch I can't afford. I also was just diagnosed fibromyalgia. I am going crazy trying everything I can. Mostly stuff from health food stores. Creams Dr's give me help my face sometimes but fingernails have never helped a bit! My skin is cracking on bottoms of toes and heals and bleeding. I have a small dog that is 2 and can't get on the bed anymore and couch. He's on comfortis and is groomed regularly and has no fleas and is up to date on all his shots but shakes his fur like trying to shake something off and scratches too. I had rotater cuff surgery and they took out 2 inches too much bone and finally had to have a donors tendon put in and when I was healing he scratched my wound at the beach and I couldn't swim so sat in sandbars in stagnet water and wound up with a staph infection. A hole in the top of my scalp the size of a pencil eraser and my hair stared coming out then to get shingles witch was on both sides of my face and all over my scalp and finger tips and then impitego then some kinda excema. I have my skin folds bleeding all the time with skin peeling and harding and like tiny pin sized scabs. These red pin sized places under my skin on my face only seen in a zoomed in with magnifing glass can i pull out with tweezers that bleed terribly. And then when I put in toilet they move. You can only see with a magnifing glass. Please help. It's been going on since Sept 2012 and my face is scarring terribly. Neighbor had scabies and other has mold also, I am on 2 floor, top floor and we had field mice in attic and lots of birds and squirells around too. The woman with scabies didn't ever have her place sprayed. We have carpeting in out hallways and they have two indoor/outdoor cats too that are not on and kind of flea or meds or had shots or been to vets ever! I am not able to sleep due to such bad insomnia that I ever had! Also,weight gain and on disability from my shoulder so spend a lot of time inside. Also, tought my dog to use a pee pee pad when I had surgery and sometimes he misses the pad with his poop on the carpet and have walked barefoot but he's had all his shots. I have a low immune system too. Pls help me!!! I think I have some type of mite or parasite. No one believes me but I know my body and know I have something due to continues rashes and hair loss and brown dirty q-tips which never have been before after showering. Floating stools and mucas and other things that don't look normal. Please help..Tracey

Is there anyone to do a free inspection or Doctor that can help. Thank you, Tracey Martin

I am Tracey that left 3 comments on this site. Is there someone to do a free inspection or are the HOA responsible for my condo if there is mold in here because my neighbors moved out because of it and want to leave everything in my home and move out but don't want to take it with me if I can move. Please help!!! I live in High Point, NC 27262

I've been reading everyone's stories and that are so similar to mine. My life changed dramatically after I was treated with a number of different antibiotics for a so called staph infection. That was five years ago. After many doctors and a few years of research, being put in a phychiatric ward (because I was feeling and seeing things...lol), I finally found a doctor who was really willing to help me. I HAD SYSTEMIC CANDIDA. Now, if you look this up on the internet and read the symptoms, I honestly think this might be what your dealing with. It does take some effort and time to get rid of it but within the first week of diet changes, prescription medicines and alternative medicines, I feel like I finally have my life back. I would be willing to help anyone do this. I was lucky to finally get the right diagnosis. You can email me at royse42@gmail.com

mycurly November 30, 2013 - 12:27 pm
The black dots could be a type of fungus. Have you looked up ring worm? Did you take all of your belongings with you when you moved? That could be why you are still feeling sick. I took most of my things and I know I shouldnt had. Are you sure theres no mold in the new place?

If you are looking for a real solution to Morgellons, visit http://www.morgellonsshield.com. Their recommendations for supplements (NAC, L Carnosine, Vitamin C, etc) reversed the course of this horrible illness for me. Highly recommend checking it out.

Tracey, your condition sounds exactly like Morgellons. Check out the website I recommended in the post above this one.
Royse Robbins January 1, 2014 - 10:16 pm
TRACEY! You have to have demodex mites. Email me for directions to naturally get rid of them. The white things popping out of your pores is the mite itself. There are two types and if you have this, you most likely have both. One lives in your hair follicle. That is the one you see. If you've ever tried to pull one of these lil buggers out with tweezers, I'm sure you had to work hard at it and it probably bled afterwards too. The second kind is the one that lives In your sebaceous glands just underneath and connected to your hair follicle. That's where the female lives and lays her eggs. The reason they get worse at night is because the mites are nocturnal and that's when they mate. Your hair will fall out, your eyes and ears may itch, you will feel crawling sensations, rashes, tired as heck and the list goes on. Just don't flip out, it's not as bad as you think. If you want to know directly from me how to get rid of them without having to go to yet another doctor, just email me. Or go to earthclinic dot com and search demodex and use Ted's remedies. I treated my poor elderly father with Ted's remedies and everything was almost gone within two weeks. Just remember to keep treating yourself a few weeks more, even if you think their all gone. These mites are strong and hatch new babies every three days. Yet, they only live a couple weeks total. They were in my fathers scalp, facial skin, chest and back, ears, nose, eyelashes and eyebrows. Anyways, I really hope you see this post and I hope this helps someone. It's so sad that our medical doctors won't take us seriously. So many people suffer because of it.

IM SORRY BUT I ALSO FORGOT TO MENTION THAT MY COMMENT WAS ALSO MEANT FOR DESERAE TOO!
Thank you Karen January 2, 2014 - 5:16 pm
I own my condo and if I have it tested for mold I would be responsible for treating it and don't have the money. My ceilings and walls are cracking like crazy they are plaster b/c they are remodeling the condo downstairs from me. I also have a small dog and don't want him to get sick. Who do I contact to see if I have mold in here? They were build in the 40's! I want to move so bad. Another staph infection and just finished and didn't even help any of my skin and it's really bad on my scalp now. Getting scars and don't want to tell anyone b/c they wouldn't want to come over! I am having a colonoscopy tom and dread this. I just want to get better.

Karen, I have been having scabs all around my finger nails and seeing specks on my clothing and also holes and tears in clothing too. My dog is on comfortis and has never had fleas and he is scratching all the time. My scalp is lumpy and feel fluid under scalp too that is in a different place all the time. I wake up at nite with joints aching so bad! Does this still sound like the demodex mites? You can call me b/c I am going crazy and afraid to tell anyone because I though it was bedbugs but had a few people come out and said, no bedbugs. I went to the dermatologist a year ago when it started and he said to quit picking and it wasn't anything but didn't do a skin scraping and the lady downstairs in my condo had scabies and never did any treatment and rode in my car to church and I see things in my car now too. She also cleans the hallways in our complex and uses her vacuum. My neighbor across from me has bedbugs I was told and mold. I am afraid if I have mold I can't afford to have it removed and if they say I have it I would have to tell if I sell it. I want to move but don't want to take it with me whatever it is. It started after a surgery and a open wound in the sandbars at the beach and think I got something from the stagnet water. I am sick of being sick and in pain! I gained 60lnd in 1 year and never weighed this much in my life! I don't want to buy new clothes b/c I think whatever I have will have to be thrown out. What to do??? I'm on disability and barely make it! I have places on my face and my skin is scaring really bad! Thank you for listening. Sorry so long. Thanks again, Tracey

I in tears, after months and month of hell and endless hours of research, I found this website. I'm not crazy! Reading Karens story, is my life almost to a T. Day in and day out I live a nightmare. It's to the point I don't want to be wake up most mornings. I've tried everything! Even on my second round of oral lamisil, 500mg a day. Some improvement in my nails but they are not what they use to be 6 months ago. My hands also have the little white things coming out of the skin, and a chalkiness reside falling out of the skin around this blister like thing. Some have a black dot in the middle others have a bright orange one. My right eye switched occasionally now it's all the time, my left eye started doing the same about 2 months ago and my chin. Yesterday I looked in the mirror and all 3 were going at it like a damn symphony. To make matters worse my 2 year old pug itches like mad. I'm at a loss. Doctor thinks I'm some sort of psychotic junkie. Won't help won't look at me just tells his nurse to refill my meds. I hope this can led me to not feel like I want to die any more. Thank you Karen you save my life by sharing your story.

Joann,I wish you the very best in your quest to conquer mold. I found this resource recently. You can use it to find doctors that will treat mold exposure. Please visit the American Academy of Environmental Medicine's website at http://www.aaemonline.org and use the search feature on the home page.

My Husband and I just started a renovation on our first floor and I have been having allergic reactions. it started with a extremely bad head ache with a fever then itching on my skin, my ears, eyes, face, my head, and my genitalia area. Also, every time I tough the dust I feel needles and itching on my hands. A week after these symptoms began I began getting hives on my stomach and legs that oddly do not itch. I explained to the doctor that I thought it was mold related but she said it was a viral infection, but I know it is a mold issue. The head ache and fever went away after two weeks but the itching and hives continued. I looked up "How to Kill Mold On Skin" on the internet and I found that Hydrogen Peroxide KILLS MOLD WHEN APPLIED FOR 10 MINUTES. Using a cotton ball or gauze soaked with hydrogen peroxide held on the itchy area. Doing this, I now have the itching down to a minimum. It keeps coming back as I clean the dust from everything in my house. I now wear rubber dish washing gloves most of the time and try not to touch my face. I am considering seeing an "Environmental Doctor" I have read that they treat people who work in mold remediation and therefore are trained in mold, fungi and bacterial issues and the affects on the body. At first my husband thought I was making it up but then I told him that the itching was so bad that I was seriously considering getting in my car and driving away and not coming back. He has now changed his tune however he is not taking the required precautions when he is working on the area being remodeled. I am going to take his to a mold remediation and consultation company to educate him on the dangers of his actions. I have asked him to stop construction until spring when we can open all of the windows for air circulation. We do not have central air conditioning or heat. I have purchased two air purifiers with a HEPA filter and a UV-C light for the mold issue. In addition to the air purifiers I am showering and washing my hair both at night and in the morning, changing my bed sheets every two days. I do not wear any article of clothing more than once in between washes. I use hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle to clean everything. I am still dusting continuously with a damp cloth not to kick up any dust in the air.
TOYA December 31, 2014 - 6:03 am
I HAVE HAD THIS VERY ISSUE SINCE MARCH OF 2013. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD I NEEDED TO BE PUT IN A MENTAL WARD. I HAVE BEEN VERY VERY SICK FOR A WHILE NOW. MY DAUGHTERS AND FAMILY ALL THOUGHT I WAS MAKING IT UP AS WELL. I HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT RESEARCH SINCE I GOT SICK. I LOOKED UP MORGELLONS DISEASE TOO. I BELEIVE THAT ALL OR MOST MORGELLONS SUFFERERS HAVE SOME SORT OF FUNGUS OR MOLD. I KNOW AT FIRST I WOULDNT LISTEN TO ANY REASON OTHER THAN THAT. I THINK I GOT THE MOLD FROM WORKING WITH MY POTTED PLANTS WITHOUT GLOVES.I HAPPENED TO GET SOME POTS FROM GRANDMOMMYS HOUSE THAT HAD SET UP FOR SOME TIME AND CATS HAD USED THEM AS A CAT BOX. AS SOON AS I REALIZED THIS I WENT AND WASHED UP. PROBLEM WAS THE POTS THAT I BROUGHT I HOME IN MY CAR AND ONE OF THEM TURNED OVER. I THOUGHT I GOT IT ALL UP BUT I APPARENTLY MISSED SOME. SO I DONT DRIVE MY CAR ANYMORE. I HAVE HAD THE BRAIN FOG YOU SPEAK ABOUT. THE FEELIING OF BUGS CRAWLING AROUND AT NIGHT ECT. REPLACED THE CARPET AND NOW THE BED. WIPED ALL THE WALLS DOWN AND KEEP THINGS DUSTED ALOT BETTER. THIS IS FIXABLE. DONT LET YOUR DOCTOR PUSH YOU AROUND!! I FORTUNATLY HAVE A WONDERFUL DOC WHO GIVES ME THE MEDS I THINK I NEED IF HE THINKS IT WILL HELP. I HAVE BEEN USING AN ORAL ANTI FUNGAL NOW ALONG WITH THE TOPICAL CREAM OR SPRAY. I AM NOW USING LAMISIL. PEROXCIDE SURE DOES SOME DAMAGE TO THEM. I AM GOING TO TRY THE VINIGAR THING IN THE LAUNDRY ECT. I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. AFTER A LITTLE WHILE YOULL KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR. THERE IS NOW A MICROSCOPE ADAPTOR THAT GOES ON YOUR CELL PHONE CAMERA LENS. I RECOMMEND GETTING ONE AND ALSO MAKING A PHOTO JOURNAL. THEY CANT DENY WHAT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR FACES! LOL! KEEP YOUR HEAD UP HIGH. IM TRYING TO. OH,, TO THE LADY THAT WAS WONDERING IF THE PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE OPENED UP WITH OUT HER TOUCHING THEM.. I HAD THAT SORT OF PROBLEM TOO. IT WAS THE WEIRDEST DAMN THING I EVER SAW. IT DOESNT DO IT SO MUCH NOW. EVERYTIME I PUT A STRANGE CLEARISH FIBER IN A BAGGIE [FOR THE SPECIMEN JOURNAL I KEEP] IT WOULD JUST CUT RIGHT THROUGH THAT BAG BEFORE MY EYES. I STARTED TO THINK I WAS CRAZY TOO!!LOLOL!! I GUESS ITS THE KIND OF FUNGUS IT IS. WHICH IS MY NEXT MISSION..TO IDENTIFY THE FUNGUS!!DAMN SHAME THAT SOMETHING AS SIMPLY CURED IF CAUGHT EARLY ON AS THIS HAS BEEN DRUG OUT BECAUSE DOCTORS JUST DONT TAKE OR HAVE TO TIME TO HEAR THEIR PATIENTS OUT. TO THE DOCS OUT THERE: JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVENT SEEN SOMETHING IN YOUR CAREER BEFORE DOESNT MEAN ITS NOT THERE. IF YOU HAVE A PATIENT THAT YOU KNOW NEVER MADE ANYTHING UP BEFORE, WHY WOULD THEY START NOW?? IF YOU DONT KNOW THE PATIENT DONT GO ASSUMING! IT MAKES AN ASS OUT OF YOU AND THEM! THANK YOU FOR THE RANT TIME. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU. DONT GET DISCOURAGED. NEVER SURRENDER NEVER SAY DIE@!!

After reading all of this im certain these people have morgellons due to chemtrails. I have this and am still fighting this. This is level 5 genocide by the new world order.
pmstar February 5, 2015 - 11:36 am
I have simalar issues with skin and scalp. Can remove bugs, wormlike things, even live flies have come out of my scalp. Ive moved four times, gotten rid of everything. They are on me so they come back. Live with as little as possible so all things can be cleaned often. Get rid of papers, books, things hanging on walls. I have had some luck with Spinosad sprayed in my house. Spray everything then leave the house...be very careful of slippery floors. I use Captain Jacks Deadbug from Home Depot. Carefully use it on your scalp and body. Do not drench yourself in it because who knows what problems it can cause. Start with your scalp, its probably the most infected. Use a small amount on areas bothering you the most. If it helps, do a little more the next day. Be careful of eyes...use medicated eyedrops if they are in your eyes. Keep spraying your house and opening windows and leaving. You can also try Transport Mikron insecticide in your home....NOT ON YOUR SKIN? Switch back and forth spraying your homen so they dont become immune. Put these products in a mister or rent a whole house fogger. I also recommend Natures Gift Debriding Soap to wash with and to spray your house with. This one is food grade and can be sprayed on literally everything and you can wash all parts of your body with it including inside nose, ears, private areas. YOU MUST CLEAN OUT YOUR CAR. Replace car mats with rubber ones. ...vacuum extensively including the ceiling. Spray daily with Natures Gift...it wont hurt you to breath it in. REPLACE YOUR SHOWER CURTAIN. Buy a new easy to clean rod and a cheap shower liner. About three dollars. Use nothing else and buy a new curtain every month. They breed on the water and growing mold on your wet shower curtain. Use a handheld shower head and after your shower use good hot water to wash down all surfaces including walls and inside of shower curtain. It will dry faster and remove what just jumped off of you. Clean hair from drain and flush it then pour bleach down the drain. They breed in the drain pipe. Do the same for your sink. Use dollar store kitchen towels for bath mats and throw away weekly. Wash hair with Neutrogena T Gel shampoo...also soak your clothes in it while doing laundry. Use a hair conditioner that does NOT smell like flowers or contain botanical ingredients. Use black walnut extract (liquid) on your most stubborn itching areas. Keep fighting...dont give up. Good luck.

My entire family has been complaining about being itchy... about a week ago, I noticed a pink mold on our windowsills.We live in Alaska, so, our windows are often frozen shut for a while, and then melt enough to open and get fresh air. I have had a staph infection since the birth of my daughter... (a C-section). but I think that this mold is affecting us all. HELP!?
Jeanette April 10, 2015 - 6:57 am
I noticed I had a rash on my bottom in December last year. I could not figure out what caused it until a week later when black mould appeared inn my bathroom. I have tried using antiseptic creams at night after my shower and things got a little better. I noticed that it has spread from one side to the other so I never use the same towel twice and really do not know what to do next as it is still there. Can anyone advise how to treat this delicate area of my body? Kind regards, Jeanette
Dani April 10, 2015 - 10:26 pm
Hi all, My teenage daughter and I fled a mold infested home 5 months ago, I knew there was a mold issue but did not think mold was causing the scalp, skin, and anxiety issues we (mostly me and our dogs) were experiencing. There are insects that feed on mold and fungus, the tiny flying "gnats" are drain flys or moth flies that do breed in drains and in our soggy back yard aftet a particularly heavy rain spell. They lay eggs in the drains and unfortunately in the house. Fungus gnats ate a different species but same M.O.....fungus gnat larvae are almost clear with a black head. To hell with what the dermatologists, entomologists, and other professional "ologists" say..those little bastards bite..and they infested my furniture, clothing, shoes, pantry food..everything! Dust mites and mold mites added fun to the party! I had weakest immune system and mold from the house took hold of me the worst..hence the insects were attracted to me the worst. At the time I simply thought I was losing my mind..Things are much much better healthwise at new house. I believe we brought some of the mold here with us but daily cleaning and keeping ourselves and dogs clean(selsun blue and Head and shoulders are great), diet modifications to get rid of internal mold/fungus are essential for humans and pets. Borax and Diatomaceous Earth are 2 things I couldn't live without now. I left out a lot of specifics but just ask, I will check back
Dani April 10, 2015 - 10:34 pm
Oh yeah, and went to ER twice..dermatologist treated scalp infection but treated me like a nuisance when I inquired about insect activity in relation to mold skin issue. ER docs sent me home with sedatives and Delusions of Parisitosis diagnosis. Whatever. Learned to research and deal with things myself. Too many othets out there with similar issues for a doctor to tell me I was "imagining" it all. There is hope..really! Don't give up.

I accidentally touched my tongue after handling Seeds from an old gourd on April 23rd. I could feel like bacteria spreading on my tongue Within seconds! I flushed mouth with tap water, Held some "Listerine Whitening" mouthwash In my mouth for over 5 min.. (Contains: 8% alcholol, peroxide , sodium phosphate, & more). I then brushed my teeth & tongue with Crest Complete tooth paste & gargles with scope. Didn't feel anything future on tongue. No soreness, redness anywhere & feel fine. On April 26th, I noticed some soft tissue from Inside mouth coming loose. I know mold grows in moist, warm areas & What better way to get into my blood stream Quickly. To my knowledge I am very healthy, Except for a little blockage in caroid artery (take Fish oil for this) & I take synthroid medicine. (Killed thyroid with iodine pill in late 1970's). Please advise what I should do & a Dr. Who Might be a professional at handling this Situation. Thank you for ANY PROMPT assistance , Rose Greckel greckelrose@yahoo.com

I am having a battle too. Right now the whole town is calling me crazy. First if you are yeasty, vinagar can control. Get rid of the yeast in your house...that may be a problem if other family members like bread, ect. Clean your house with vinagar. I am even going to use on carpets... walls too.
Ahead May 24, 2015 - 1:36 am
Royce Hi.. I don't know what I have but it sounds similar to what your describing. It seems that I have been infected through my whole body. My dog cats & possibly my pet pig may have it too. My husband & kids seem to have a few skin changes but me & the dog & 2 cats seem to be most effected. Though I have got most things people don't get, when I'm visiting humid places I'll be attached by mosquitoes while no one else has 1 bite.. So my skin is changing, with weird circular spots & black & white specks pop out Occasionally,my sheets have them as well after I sleep, I get new mole looking things- but they were not there before.. If I grab them when I first see them them I'm ok but if not it seems to burry in my skin looking like a new-mole. My husband thought it was in my head till he helped me put on a borax scrub and saw the stuff coming out of my skin.. I have went to several drs and they have prescribed me anti parasitic creams & pills - or they tell me I'm crazy the meds don't seem to help long. I have found a few things to elevate the irritations for awhile - but not long. Also at night I seem to get bitten in certain places & it seems to Tavel- can't see what's biting me but I can see my skin reacting..I have recently been putting off spray on to avoid being bitten.. My immune system is super low I can tell. I am also on a trial drug - which I think lowered my immune system -due to lack of sleep & weight dropping.. Which I'm tempted on quitting- though drs say has nothing to do w my skin issues Anyway, I'm going crazy trying to figure out what it is - so I can get rid of it.. Iam also worried I can be contagious to clients, friends & family.. Please Help I will Greatly Appreciate any suggestions.. I live in Las Vegas,I've had Bad Luck w drs, I don't know where else to turn & I'm tired of feeling like this & effecting my family w it..???? I have recently started loosing hair also & my scalp is sore & I have been told it's pink.. Thank You, AH

Anybody who thinks they have a problem with mold, mildew, humidity etc., should try putting DampRid around their house or apt. I even had dripping ceilings, fuzz on clothes, etc. a couple of years ago but that all stopped when I put DampRid in my bathrooms and closets. There is a kind you can hang up on a rod, for closets.
viretta boyd August 12, 2015 - 9:16 am

Pam March 12, 2016 - 4:45 pm
I would try empson salt baths, head to toe. Benzoyl peroxide,but always use a moisturizer after benzoyl peroxide or it will dry your skin out. One more thing I would try for hair, rubbing alcohol with few drops lavender oil. Make sure you ask your doctor if it's ok for you to try. safety first. Good luck

Hi ?,We have been struggling with mould since last year where our unit was washed out,unbeknown to us we didn't realise the dust was actually mould. I have lymphoma and was on treatment so I naturally thought it was from my low immunity,not be just one diagnosis. A friend told my carer"get her out of there if she dies ill kill you" so we had to file a household claim and we are still eating as water damaged the unit first,then the mould came. Laying in bed I could feel my nose clogging with powder like and my mouth was as though I had dust in it,the spots on our arms went from a slight scratch to like a crater and the rounded scars are like indented,I have been vomiting again and my hair is like it has a film of dust,earaches,headaches,brownmarks near the eyebrows and hair line.It is making us so ill,I was told not to move anything to my brand new unit but the renovalist bought some of my things here and dumped them horridly on the balcony.We are in Australia and insurance companies like to take our premium but do not like to pay,its disgraceful. The property managers would not help,they would not move us and so we couldn't live in the unit for months,our skin is just so damaged and the mould appears to be continuing. We use tea tree,last night again we massaged co onut oil and the pieces that popped out of our bodies is horrid black or a whitish colour,my mouth again is covered in fur type stuff,my lip has like a blackish lump on it,if we are to get rid of this can another person give it back? I have read up a lot and forums on this issue,I've had swollen stomach also we have both put on heaps of wieght but seriously can someone give any sound advice please? Iinternally I've found soda water helps greatly for anyone who needs a it,I've found it litteraly goes throughout my body and just after starting on it like holes blowing out the sude of ny leg which has a previous injury. 1) Does anyone know if this mycotoxins? 2)What is the name of a professor ir specialist to deal with this? 3)I feel so sick all the time and it is driving me to distraction with pain,scars and sores. THE HEADACHES ARE ATROCIOUS AS MY EAR HAS LIKE A LUMP UNDER THE SKIN THAT WAS WEEPING BROWNY GREYISH GOO. ANYONE WHO CAN OFFER ANY KIND OF RECIPES ITS ONE THING DEALING WITH LUEKAMIA BUT THUS MOULD. WOULD THE LANDLORDS BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALLOWING THIS TO OCCUR?BREACH OF DUTY OF CARE? GOD BLESS YOU ALL LOVE AND HEALING. TRACEYOZ.
tracey lc April 5, 2016 - 9:22 pm
Thankyou Luki for the info,Morgellans? Please let us know is the treatment expensive?What bloods are done?Australia has different routine bloods,slack in health areas like this and bird mites which do you think would be related to the mould also as we had wild birds being fed by this belligerent woman next door knowing they were flying straight past our open windows and we consequently had mites also and that's bacterial? This sucks and we are treated like 2nd class people or halfwitted mentally unstable. Why doctors take the hypocratic oath?To make money as easily as possible thus putting us on the psychotic twat having these horrid things. Thanks again ?
kathi awoola April 14, 2016 - 12:37 pm
Also look into the parasite collemboli they are infesting homes from mold and moisture and are extremely hard to get rid of, and along with it are the invasion of bitting mites and lice, read the articles on invisible bitting, mites, collemboli ,erge the CDC to take action against surging unexplained disease #petition and from invisible bitting mites in your home. The degree of people affected by this is mind blowing not to mention helpless infants and the elderly who are suffering with no relief, and to make matters worse doctors  claim that they don't see anything. I know this is an article about mold, but I think it has to do with the effects of the mold.
Berlin April 27, 2016 - 6:43 am
I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH MOLD FOR SOME TIME NOW AND I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS CANDIDA BECAUSE OF TAKING ANTIBIOTIC AND BIRTH CONTROL, WHICH CAN CAUSE A OVER GROWTH OF YEAST WHICH IS FUNGAL IN OUR BODY, SO I TREATED IT LIKE A FUNGAL WITH HERBS AND THE RASHES, ITCHING ,THE DISCOLORATION OF MY SKIN AND THE JOINT PAINS CLEAR UP. I WORK ON BUILDING UP MY IMMUNE SYSTEM WITH HERBS AS WELL, BUT I HAVE LEARNED THAT JUST BECAUSE THERE IS NO OUTWARD SIGNS OF MOLD THAT YOU CAN STILL HAVE A MOLD PROBLEM GOING ON INSIDE YOUR BODY SO IT IS A ON GOING BATTLE TO GET IT OUT YOUR BODY AND KEEPING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM BUILD UP TO PROTECT YOUR BODY FROM HARMFUL FUNGAL. I AM A HERBALIST BEEN USING HERBS FOR OVER 25 YEARS, IT SAD BUT MOST DOCTORS HAVE NOT BEEN TRAINED ABOUT MOLD SO THEY CANNOT HELP US, THERE ARE A FEW WHO HAS WENT TO FUNCTIONAL MEDICAL TRAINING, BECAUSE THEY WANT MORE THAN WHAT THEY GAVE THEM IN MEDICAL SCHOOL. MOLD HAS BEEN MISDIAGNOSIS FOR SO MANY ILLNESSES, WHEN THE BOTTOM LINE IS ITS MOLD. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT I AM ALIVE TODAY BECAUSE OF MY HERBAL KNOWLEDGE, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE PROGRAM I HAVE MYSELF ON, YOU CAN EMAIL ME AT livinglifehealthy@gmail.com YES THERE ARE MITES OR MICROSCOPIC BUGS CALLED SPRINGTAILS THAT LIKES MOLD AND THEY WILL GET ON YOU BECAUSE OF THE MOLD THAT'S IN YOUR BODY AND YOU CAN FEEL THEM CRAWLING ON YOU SO NO YOU ARE NOT IMAGINE THEM. IF YOU LIVE WHERE THERE IS MOLD GET OUT ASAP AND IF YOU TAKE THE STUFF FROM THAT PLACE YOU CAN CROSS CONTAMINATE YOUR NEW PLACE, IF YOU HAVE INSURANCE THAN FILE A CLAIM THE INSURANCE COMPANY SHOULD HELP YOU TIL YOU FIND A CLEAN HEALTHY PLACE TO MOVE, IT IMPORTANT EVEN IF YOU ARE RENTING TO GET INSURANCE. YOU HAVE TO BE SO CAREFUL THAT YOU DON'T CROSS CONTAMINATE, EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE MOLD AT HOME YOU CAN BRING MOLD FROM YOUR WORKPLACE IF THERE IS MOLD THERE, I WASH MY CLOTHES IN BORAX I ADD IT TO THE DETERGENT, IT KILLS MOLD, BLEACH DON'T KILL MOLD THAT'S WHY IT KEEP COMING AND BLEACH IS CARCINOGENIC ( CAN CAUSE CANCER) I HOPE THIS HAS HELP, WE GET BRAIN FOG, BECAUSE MOLD LIKES FATTY TISSUES AND I BRAIN IS OVER 60% FATTY TISSUE SO WHEN MOLD GET IN OUR BODY IT HEADS TO OUR BRAINS, LUNGS AND OTHER AREA OF OUR BODY. THERE ARE WAYS TO RESTORE SO ALL IS NOT LOST, YOU CAN OVER COME.

Has anyone else had serious problems with their eyes? I have had both eyes and sinuses filling up with what looks like tree sap and salt. It was pouring out of both eyes. At one point, there was shiny pink stuff coming out and coating my eyelids. I have never seen anything like this before. I have a small rash on my forearm and my husband has had a horrible rash on his forearms. I have washed my eyes out with and eye wash, but I can feel my sinus cavities filling up again. They have become swollen all the way to my ears. No one else in the house has problems and the small dogs are healthy, no fleas or ticks. The doc said husband had staph, but never tested it. No health insurance, can't afford private insurance. Any ideas?
Ida May 18, 2016 - 7:57 pm
I just learned that I have mold in my body. I also learned that diet and vitamins and years are all that will get it out. My mind has been effected and that, i will never get back. But i can get it out and i am greatful for that at least.
Daniekkev May 31, 2016 - 1:27 am
Yeah Cause you peoples all have problems including me now and no one wants to tax responsibility so we play games of who gave who mold and try to frame each other cause of embarssament and where back to who gave who mold . My opinion the ex first because his place smelled and had skin problems so he broke my faucet in brielle closest . One ex . So he tried to unknowinly or knowingly who cares . Joe had water damage in his basement from when he first did the house . So now this guys bathroom smells like mildew from the first day . So where back to the blame game . And lee jhouse use to smell like mildew that carpet . Well whatever if I have it can you get rid of it cause it gross. You broke my pipe on purpose or some did when you fixed my sink in 2009 . Now where back to not who gave who herpes but who gave who mold . Does this shit ever end you switched my mattress again and my couch was finevwhen I movred in now it's not . Who does this shit . I have more fucking nonsense by more scammers . Does it every fucking end . You switched my stuff again and ruined me again . People are pathetic , die assholes
Renee June 14, 2016 - 3:14 am
Michelle & Crystal, hello, hope all is well with you both, as well as everyone else on this thread who is dealing with a skin condition that is emotionally disrupting, makes you seem crazy to others who do not suffer with it, and not to mention being miserable from the itching. It has been quiet some time since the 2 of you were on here, so this may never make it to you! Maybe someone else will see my post and know something too though! However, I called you 2 out because #1, as you said Crystal, #2, Michelle has explained her story and I too felt as though I was looking in the mirror! Only the situation gets a little bit more negative I think with my story, and only because my husband is already a Not So Supportive kind of better half, and he has criticized me for nearly 10 months and accuses me of being on drugs. I still have not quiet sure figured out what hurts the most, the actual health issue with the symtoms and all, or the fact that your husband is suppose to love you and be there for you and instead he criticizes you and also tells others you are on drugs, your a pill head, you are digging your self to your own death bed! I have always been a pretty strong, stubborn, hardworking person, and all this criticizim has really taken a toll on me. I feel like giving up, I am ashamed to go to work (i do work in a different small town however) but for fear cusotmers will think these same bad thoughts about me. I have always been a person who worry's about what others think of me. Not neccessarrily in all aspects, but you know I want to be considered a lady .... a mother who dresses like a mother, a socialble drinker rather than a drunk, but now, as I am falling apart, I feel like just running away and becoming a drunk. I recently did start using some drugs, but I already realize that is not the answer, and I have stopped using drugs. I realized the drugs only made me happy while they lasted, and BAM, reality hit again!.. Please....Help me!!!!! Today, this area in the left area of my chin, just under the left corner of my mouth, it feels like this small knot, (which I can feel if I press my toungue against the inside of my lip, I can feel the hard round small ball.,....but the little blister like sores, which are painful and itch way way deep down in my jaw bone, .,anyway this blister feels like it really wants to exit my face today! I hope it does. It has moved and moved, leaving trails of streaked scars. I have been to the Dentist first, how sent me to have a wisdom tooth removed, so then the oral surgeon for that, who all agreed was a abcessed wisdom tooth. The area continued to have open lesions, which again appear to be blister like sores, and usually just 1-3 at a time. I then made a visit with my doctor, who said i had herpes, (which he referred to as fever blisters) which nothing he gave me or suggested worked, then back to dentist who determined it to be shingles just from my symtoms with the feelings of neuralgia. Now I have this feeling in my ear that is sort of like a ear infection I guess I could call it, but jt feels like it would feel when I have swollen glands with a slight sore throat from sinus trouble! ....I am so sorry, its so confusing, the list of issues go on and on and on! But speaking of the swelling, I too had swollen up and gained 14 lbs of fluid at one time! Talk about miserable! OMG, please let me know if you or your doctors ever found a answer and especially a solution! Thanks in advance!~

Hi all. I have been dealing with similar stuff now for over 5 years and the past 6 months having SOME success. I THINK it all is related and can be treated as any parasite. If you are desperate. Which we all are. And serious then do a complete body detox. A good start is the hulda clark. Start with bowels and liver then move on. After each area is detoxed the swollen glands should start to go away. These are from a build up of toxins and the body cannot eliminate toxins if this system is clogged up. The liver needs support as well. Here is what i have been doing. First.. Diet Diet for cure: eat only veggies and fruits. Coconut oil olive oil. Garlic some nuts, flax quinoa. Eggs and beans are good protein. Fish may be ok as well. Papaya, lemon and apple cider vinegar. Honey cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, cayenne. Load up on these in your food. Look up parasite cleansing diet and paleo diet....BUT THR KEYS IS NO SUGAR.... They love mucus so no milk. Really trust me. I have tried to cheat and i suffer for it... The cleaner the food thr better. Non gmo and organic. If you cant do that look up the clean 15 veggies. These are ones tested to be the cleanest non organics. Herbs and supplement: Colon herbs.. Search for more. Sippery elm. Selenium. Flax seed, and colon cleansing herbs fiber. Followed by epsom salt or castor oil. Olive oil 1-2 tbsp Rotate with parasitic herbs...(mold and fungus is parasitic and sounds like most of us have more than mold issues and insects spread these parasites.. Think of malaria.. Hopefully not so bad) black walnut, cloves and wormwood. Diatomaceous earth. Activated charcoal. Baking soda. Boron ( a pinch of 20 mule team borax is cheap) For parasites Coconut oil, papaya seed, olive leaf extract, neem, Liver and kidneys: fresh squeezed lemon in water daily. Milk thistle. Dandilion root. Apple cider vinegar. Glands: licorice root apple cider vinegar. There is a start.. I will try to add more when i can... Oh fo skin issues vodka or everclear and cloves oil and thyme oil has really helped followed by a cream with olive oil beeswax pinon pine pitch sweet almond apricot kernel jojoba lanonin comfrey tea tree rosemary and neem. Its called moms stuff... But you can make your own if your into it. You kind of become your own healer after a while and it only makes sense to make your own as it can get expensive. I also make my own tinctures for $1.00s instead of $15.00 for a tini bottle. Add any herb to vodka or everclear and soak it for 6 to 8 weeks. If needed immediately make a tea with some and soak the rest. Also apple cider vinegar can be used to make tincture and ready in a matter of days. So for the immediate needs use acv. Ph balance plays a key... But really diet is first... NOTHING WILL WORK if your body cannot eliminate these toxins.. I am now able to add grass fed beef and organic chicken. I am praying for everyone as we have been in this some time now. The pestilences and plagues are here and AMERICA IS OBLIVIOUS...
CRAZYJ August 5, 2016 - 10:19 am
Oh and my husband just recently syarted work in mold remediation and last week i flooded my basement and he found mold as I had suspected after living here 2.5 years. Now landlord isnt going to fix it so we are planning to move. But the key here i found is Thyme oil. My husband uses Benefect Botanical Disinfectant in a fogger. , you can diffuse it and clean with it, to kill mold for his job... It kills mold. And i have been using it on my rashes as well. Also cream of tarter will kill mold in body.. Sorry i left that out before. Hang in there be persistent and dont give up. We can allow God to heal us with all the amazong things He has given us. Thanks for listening. We are not in this fight alone. Fyi the cream i mentioned can be bought. Its expensive but works. Its called moms stuff made out of Utah.. Blessings. Jill

I suffered from a mold rash for 7 miserable months before determining it was a mold rash. I went to 7 dermatologists; none who determined it was mold. I finally had home tested, after thinking i was being attacked by mites or maybe poison ivy. Remediated the mold, rash gone. Millions of people think they have bugs crawling on them but its MOLD!!. The best way to sooth the itch and get rid of the rash (i spent hundreds of dollars on creams, essential oils, and the list goes on and on) is to buy a removable shower nozzle so you can spray directly different parts of your body; turn up the temp on your water heater; and take as hot a shower as you can tolerate without burning yourself. The heat rushes blood to the area; along with white bloods cells, neutrophils, etc. fighting the mold; and it soothes almost to the point of ecstasy when you are itching that badly. Its the ONLY thing I find that works. Spread the word. People do NOT have microscopic bugs on them. Its mold!!

I started suffering on Dec 19 2015, when I woke up around 12:00am my mouth was extremely dry and my tongue was extremely WHITE, I tried drinking a few bottles of water that didn't work, I went to the hospital later that morning and was told that I was completely fine, A few weeks went by and my mouth was still dry despite the many bottles of water I drank. Next I started sweating in certain areas (arm folds, behind the knees, under breast, and butt) every night I would wake up with my pants soaked from sweat, the weekend after Christmas my left arm started itching and was really dry no matter how much lotion I put on it them it spread to my whole body my face would get really red and inflamed when I would wash it, I would wake up with red spot on me, my temperature seemed to be a bit elevated, when I would wash my hand they would get really red on the palms, and not I am constantly ashy and dry where as my skin use to be very moist and my hair breaks off at the root and now my daughter and fiancé and getting the same symptoms. PLEASE if anyone has had these same issues HELP if you have some insight. :(

The trichothecene mycotoxins produced by toxic black mold are neurotoxic. This means they can kill neurons in the brain and impair a person’s mental ability. They also cause nervous disorders such as tremors and can cause personality changes such as mood swings and irritability. Symptoms: (1) Confusion (2) Brain fog (3) Shortened attention span (4) Difficulty concentrating and paying attention (5) Slowed reflexes (6) Disorientation (7) Dizziness (8) Memory loss and memory problems (9) Impaired learning ability (10) Hallucinations (11) Shock (12) Anxiety (13) Depression (14) Aggression and other personality changes (15) Tingling (16) Trembling (17) Shaking (18) Seizure (19) Numbness [Source] http://www.floodaz.com/toxic-black-mold-symptoms/

Hello, my name is Steve Marell, and I have the same syptoms as most of you do. So what is the cure how I get rid of this fungus
Ysbeth September 29, 2017 - 7:54 am
Hi, I have some information that may be useful. The mold I have looks dark red to me but I'm sort of colorblind. It starts in dots but can quickly form a sheet covering the whole wall. Up to this point it looks like the algae I used to get in my reef aquarium before I got the lighting right. In addition, some dots form a larger mass that either falls to the ground and breaks into pieces or forms. It also sometimes shoots out white things that look like sesame seeds (spores?) but one at a time. It leaves behind what I believe are filaments but what I guess patients with Morgellons have told doctors were maggots (mold does have filaments but doesn't have maggots). Anyway, I had a problem with fleas and that's how much of this came about. I was looking at the mold which suddenly got bad after we got a lot of rain and thinking about how much it looked like the algae (Cyanobacteria, actually) in the tank I used to have and then I went to look up the life cycle of the flea and several of the sites said something about a stage where the flea is encapsulated and a flea colony. I was on day 4 of a migraine so my brain when algae colony = flea colony and now I'm a bit embarrassed about that. Anyway, salt kills fleas but they have to actually touch it for it to dehydrate them so salt went everywhere and the red sheet melted away from everywhere the salt was touching but it didn't take care of all of the fleas. My neighbor gave me some diatomeous earth and it worked for both the fleas and algae, too. Then I had a couple of migraine free days and realized it would be a good idea to check behind floor boards and appliances and in all the other nooks and crannies. That was pretty horrible and the trim may not be going back on but I dumped salt on all of it and cleaned up what remained after the salt dehydrated it down to almost nothing. Then there was nothing left to do but bomb and I used Hot Shot Fogger with Odor Nuetralizer. Some of the gelatinous masses, which I was begginning to realize had nothing to do with fleas still remained so I scrubbed them with bleach and water. After I washed all the clothes with hot water and vinegar but that was for the fleas. I used a spray bottle of bleach and water through all of this, too. The next day everything looked fine but after sitting in my computer chair for a few minutes I started feeling stings so I got up and sprayed some deep woods off on it (it was the first thing I found). hundreds of what looked like tiny worms poked out of the fabric and stayed straight up swaying. I freaked out and put some anti lice shampoo, which was the 2nd thing I found, on my back. and everything went insane. It felt like a bunch of worms were coming out of my back and then I looked at my arms and saw lots raised bits that looked like worms coming to the surface and then large openings which spores eventually came out of so lovely way to start the morning. Up until that point I had been slightly worried because the mold seemed to congregate where I was but then I realized that I was carrying it around but that wasn't more comforting. I have a young daughter so at that point it became my mission to eradicate the stuff from the house before she got home. To confirm it was a fungi I grabbed a very old tube of Athlete's Foot cream (Tolnaftate 1%) and a fairly new bottle of fungicide 3 (neem oil). The cream worked but took forever. The fungicide took care of the problem quickly but I ran out so I got some Nice! Mold and Mildew Stain Remover from Walgreens (Sodium Hypochlorite) and it worked well. When I ran out of that I went back into the storage cupboard and in the very back found and old bottle of API Liguid Fungus cure for aquariums (.4% Acriflavine and 1% pvp). This worked very, very well and now all I see is the old stuff, dried up, stuff. I'm definitely not ruling out there being morefurther in the cracks and etc that hasn't surfaced yet, though. Nothing is dropping on me or shooting spores at me so that's an improvement. When the liquid fungus hit one of the areas where the large pores appear on me, however, it triggered the stuff under my skin to start pushing our spores, though, and that went on all night. It also flared up everytime I entered an area where I hadn't killed all the spores. I kept waking up in pain from the spores all night long (you can feel them coming out) Anyway, I'm feeling better and have no wish to be diagnosed with Morgellon's so I'm giving it a day. If I still have it tomorrow, spike a high fever, or still have problems tomorrow I'll go to the ER but I'll be at the University talking with a research professor Monday. There is no reason anyone should be telling me this in in my head since I can actually trigger it with 2 of the chemicals and people can see it.
Donna November 4, 2017 - 2:51 pm
YSBETH: Exactly. I am so glad someone else has seen how this, likely mold, coils and spreads along a wall. Like you said, in skin, or bedsheets, it’s a couple of dots that then spore like crazy. I have never seen anything move so quickly. I just have to deal with the particulates. It’s quite surreal, on your skin. One has to look incredibly closely, or be somewhat colorblind, as you said you may be. I have tried to pick this up on camera. It’s easier to see on bedsheets than on skin, unfortunately. Thus, it looks like mites. It’s not, however. I am starting to be treated for mold colonization.

This fungal infection is very common. it can be transferred from person to person very easily. The treatment for ringworm depends on its location on the body and how serious the infection is. Some forms of ringworm can be treated with non-prescription (“over-the-counter”) medications, but other forms of ringworm need treatment with prescription anti fungal medication. https://www.healthmagaz.com/skin-problems/ringworm/get-rid-ringworm-face/

Comment for anyone and everyone... Have experienced many similar symptoms and mind breaking lack of help/results. This issue has proven the absolute biggest fight of my life., I mean to fight (which I should not have to do,as I have strong background with community, family & integrity esp with my medical team. 4 years going feeling very sick,nausea, vomiting, chronic severe diarrhea, lost appetite, severe distension, major weight gain, high BP, weakness, fatigue, giving up lucrative clients to competition because I was not able to do what my business promised... Skin lesions, told I had scabies ( lived alone no gf/bf), then another 8 months told bed bugs..(extermination said absolutely no)- still just so I could get the help I got rid of everything in my house-(live2 yrs with new bed & furniture wrapped in manufacturing plastics. I know infected from inhaled, handling, skin to wounded contact from client infested with fungi, bacteria, viral, parasitic problems. I took client on as a favour for her son and did not become aware until after I had a surgery that caused immune deficiency and quickly started to show systemic and skin/hair illness. Called son, city CCCA and visited doctors 12 x's. Currently lost 100$k ur business and if I try to see a Dr. Last report follows me and I am immediately dismissed as attention seeking or mentally ill. I even have written diagnostics from local migrant animal labritory Dr. That viewed one specimen that he wasn't aware where it came from that absolutely states some type of mound in conjunction with a parasitic infestation. I'm 45. 3 years ago ran 1/2 marathons 2x's ur worked 70 hrs a week love my job was beautiful, had eyelashes, long soft hair, ate like a horse but full of energy & strong, fit. Today I am struggling to eat a piece of toast, my ex husband comes to help with cleaning & laundry and i can't believe that I have no support from the medical community that always have had trust in me

If you have mold it’s likeky springtail and they are vicious. Also demodex mites will go crazy with fungus and stress. Look up morgellons disease too. You are not alone. Take ivermectin immediately
Lexa July 1, 2018 - 6:13 am
I see so many of the comments full of people demanding someone here give them a cure or begging for help over and over. Just a reminder- the person that wrote this blog is not a Doctor, or scientist, or anything like that. This is not a professional opinion. They just did some research, read about a few home remedies, and reiterated everything here for you to read. So if you're looking for "the cure" in the comments section, or expecting the original poster to have all of the answers to all of your situational specific questions, might want to keep Movin. Just about everyone that's here, are looking for answers too, and The great thing about technology now is there are soooo many ways to find answers! Also, to the person that mentioned ringworm, that is completely different then the mold that the majority of these people are dealing with. If only it were as simple as a little dose of ringworm! And to those of you struggling with this issue, I suggest googling photos of "Mold on Skin" and "Symptoms" as there are lots of different types and unless you know exactly where and when you were contaminated and by what type, it's a good starting place to know what your working with so you're not just masking the symptoms but actually getting to the root of the problem. There are dozens of forums and public message boards, etc dedicated to this very issue. So instead of wasting more time and more money on dermatologist and doctors that you know aren't going to help you, spend that time doing some research and that money on items that people in your same spot or with the same problem have had good results with. Don't get discouraged when you don't find what your looking for right away. It is absolutely possible to overcome anything if you give it maximum effort.
TERESA SKOGLAND March 12, 2019 - 1:59 pm
I am so sick I have noticed people purposely putting what this is in stores on products etc.I have my last week in a hotle list everything .I used to be beautiful.I have kids and grandchildren won't see them again.I miss the frivoulous bad things in life .For this is a true torture and nothing is as bad as this .So everything in my old life rape ,domestic violence,death of loved ones,molestation, etc were not really that bad at all. I believe that this is from inner or outer space or we in our stupidity as humans invented something we can't control. I think we have done horrible things to other cultures as well and in the last few days I have realized they might be infecting us with this in our stores ,restaurants,products etc.I have 3000 pictures now and video started taking it to prove I wasn't crazy and to show to doctors some Morgelleons art to benefit Morgelleons foundation idk .I have gotten pics of moving aliens fiber creatures.Look up morgelleons alien on YouTube. Have taken pics of the large insect like creatures that drip the yellow bio film sticky gross that is on us (stuck in the back of my neck top of head sticking out of ears)and the black spider like fibers that is everywhere and hurts so bad.I believe we can all see them through camera lens .They are in the blurry invisible almost parts of pics zoom in and look .They are attracted to me I am A negative and everywhere I go they come.I also know where they are in my town .Which at this point in Olympia WA is everywhere.I am at the point I don't care if I sound crazy.Yes there is a fungus -insect (of course) thing that comes with this.It seem to grow an immunity to whatever is used on it .I think my life is over the end of this week,I will be out of money out of hotel. I don't have the strength to live outside or around others that don't know how bad it hurts.I won't be able to care for myself I lost my housing grant for getting papers in late .I had housing for 20 years.I lost all of my personal property now even childhood jornal and my pics of my kids my whole life.I have no family to help without locking me away ,or friends they all left,or medical help they gave me months ago cymbalta, topamax and two tubes of 2% jock itch cream.The nurse practitioner rolled her eyes at me they did isolate the bacteria of Lyme disease but not active so did nothing.I pray for everyone the army was having spider armor made scientist wanted to make bullet proof spider people also the tech that is used for invisibility cloak us army I think that has something to do with it .I'm to tired now.When I walk often it feels like the earth shakes I talked to someone else this happens to.I have horrible headaches .I believe the armed forces or science community had to know what this is as well.Good luck I wish the world health and happiness .

I have mold on my skin some time ago, which is very similar to what you said. https://www.tglostwax.com/
Emily November 14, 2019 - 9:22 am
Does anyone know much about fusarium mold? I have had skin tests come back positive and sputum also. My life has been absolutely awful to say the very least and as one lady commented above got detained when I said there was stuff (which there was & have paper work to prove) coming from my skin. Here in Australia I can not seem to find an infectious disease doctor that specializes in such an area and obviously given my record now, do not at all get listened to. I recently came from hospital with cellulitis that went septic and both my legs are still in a horrid state. I have been in anti fungal meds for 3 years until the pharmacist said I can not take anymore. I have epilepsy, lupus and insomnia (obvsly only made worse with such) have lost my teaching job, driving license (from seizures) and am literally bed ridden. 24/7 have recently been evicted as I attempted to fight the landlord on such so have two weeks to vacate but have not had the capacity to do a thing at all. If anyone knows or has sources as to how I can get help I would be ever so grateful. Sorry for the long saga. And thank you kindly for any advise u may have. Emily
john paul patton March 11, 2020 - 9:02 pm
This is for Lexa, I do not believe anyone coming here is under any illusion that they are speaking to doctors. The problem is doctors cannot answer these questions. I work in Pharma and life Science, and I have been to 7 doctors in 4 months. I have tried just about every drug possible, and nothing works. However, from talking to people in person and online combine with a lot of medical research I have come up with at least a plan to beat it back. Oh yeah, 6 months ago I had a white spot like a bite on my neck. I noticed it on the flight back from the outerbanks. By Thanksgiving my entire face was red with white flakes coming out of to such a degree I could not open my eyes. Followed by brown and black spots, hair like structures and an array or seed like looking things. They spit out black tar and white flakes. What is really freaky is how evolved this is, it has amazing defense mechanisms. When you attack it the tar breaks up into pieces making a black cloud all around the point of attack. Each one is like a spider web creating a circulator system ontop of my skin. However you cannot see it most of the time because it creates a fake epidural skin layer over the top of it. When they come out, they burrow into your skins within seconds. They fall in the shower, it takes a razor to clean them. They mimic shape and color. if I use a cotton ball on my face, cotton starts popping out all around it. If I get paint on my hand, I all of a sudden have paint spots all. over my hands. You can pull them out very quickly repeatedly and watch them pulling in view like structures to where you are pulling. The seeds or hives as I call them root into your blood, so when you start to pull them they bleed bad. When you weaken them down the liquid gel they use to create fake skin feels like acid on your skin. It is even worse if water touches them, it is like having HCL poured on your skin. But the irony is, your not actually in pain they monster you are fighting is pinching your nerves to make you feel pain. They will do anything to save the hives, somehow they communicate throughout the body and will send resources to areas under attack. Their tactics are so incredible I can only relate them to classic and modern military strategies. Collidal silver liquid and cream, propolis an extract from Manuka honey both work somewhat, They will take out the mature ones slowing their reproduction, but the little ones are not impacted. The hives burrow to deep to be affected, Tried many drugs, Cipro and several highly potent antibiotics helped a little. Steroids and steroid cream help a little. Diet and constant clean are important as welll, I literally wash the towels, bedding and bathroom every day now. I have been spending 5 to 8 hours a day studying and researching this for 4 months, and I am just starting to get the upper hand on it. Unfortunately, ever time I think I have them on the run they attack with everything they have. I have all kinds of pictures of ones that have fallen out, samples and videos. 3 different labs are doing cultures right now. 7 doctors including CDC have yet to be able to tell me what it is. Similar to Morgellons, but I have not seen any colored fibers yet, they are all just fake hair. I have not seen the actual skin or hair on my face in 5 months. Every day I have to shave 2 to 3 times to chop off fake black hairs. They just pop right back up. Each have a pocket of resources under neath them, you can feel its squishiness. If doctors were able to help me, I would not be reading every blog on the internet. Let me give. you some insight into what doctors do not know. For starters we have never been able to understand how a single drug ever created works. None, not Advil, not lithium, none of them. In my industry we look at side effects, if the good out weigh the bad we put it on the market. Human knowledge of Organic Chemistry is minimal when being kind. About equal to our knowledge of quantum physics. Next, doctors learn zero on the subject of nutrition and homeopathic medicinal treatments in med school. They learn what Pharma tells them to learn, how to treat symptoms. Doctors rarely cure, Pharma doesn't like cures. We have to make money, and you will not be back if you are cured. If you believe doctors have all the answers you are kidding yourself. Being a doctor is a job like any others. Not all football players play in the NFL, neither do all doctors qualify to work at the Mayo Clinic. The truth is 95% of doctors are not up to date any much of anything in the industry. Doctors are also human, which means they are just as dumb of monkeys as you and I. Very involved and haven't learned much about the universe as of yet. My mentor in school always said 99% of what you know is wrong, if you can figure out what the 1% of what you know is correct your doing well. People come here, because they have no where else to turn.

Tears rolling down my face as I realize that there are others out there who have been through what I have been silently dealing with for 2 years. It has destroyed my self esteem, has almost destroyed my marriage, and has brought me to the point of planning my own suicide. I am hoping that each one of you have found the answers and the relief you were needing. I don't know if we all have the same condition or if there's a few different causes to the living hell that has brought us to this website, but I personally would love to hear updates to each one of your stories. I hope a prior poster reads this, as I am genuinely interested in knowing what has transpired since your original postings in this thread. I pray I, too, can find my way out of this hell, before I make a decision that I can't undo.

Oh my God, I read these and started crying like a baby.. for two years people have thought I was crazy, not believing me that I think mold is growing in my fingers.. my two index fingers.. I had to leave a house just under two years ago that was tested and ir was dangerously full of mold! My dog was losing his hair, etc.. thank y’all for letting me know this is real and maybe I can now get some relief.. like some other ones I read.. the constant pain from I guess it growing all the time has driven me crazy! No one believes there is anything there, but they sss the big swollen spots.. if I pick it with a sterilized pin it comes out like a big cauliflower! Will feel better for about 12 hours then the pain starts again! My thoughts are scattered and rambling, obviously.. I work constantly now.. 18 hours a day usually just trying not to think anout it .. thank you! My insurance company made me stay there for 3 months after the mold people told me to get out thst it was extremely dangerous.. but they wouldn’t and still haven’t released the money for me to move or for ALL of my belongings which had to be thrown out! The mold just infiltrated everything.. a bad leak from a hurricane was pouring into the ductwork and landlord would t fix it!

I gave up on everything that mattered. The mold has taken over everything about me. I can never get clean. My hair all fell out and doesn't grow back. I am a 33 year old female but I look like a cancer patient. I don't sleep and I don't eat. I have attemlted suicide twice and still I am here with my husband still calling me crazy but he js also losing hair but in denial. I can't wait to see how the story changes when he is as disfigured as I am. I was an attractive, confident, very well adjusted young woman with my life on the right track. Now I am just a shadow of that woman. I have lost my personality and enthusiasm for life since the mold is so all encompassing. My dermatologist refuses to test for mold because according to her I just have alopecia universalis and need to stop picking. It makes me feel even more alone when that gives everyone around me the amunition to say it is all in my head and not on it. I have tried everything from vinegar soaks to micellar water and add a couple of ammonia soaks in there for good measure but I am still completely saturated. The hope for me has since passed and I no longer get excited by mild results. We are moving and I am hoping that in that I may again find hope but for now. All is lost and I am sitting here crying because I am finally not alone...

My heart aches for every person in this blog. Please understand that you need diagnosis of which mycotoxins are in your body. This is done through the right tests at Real Time Labs in the US. (Canada does not have sufficient tests for mold). Then deal with it via correct diet and supplements prescribed by someone who knows. There is a Dr. Neil Nathan MD in the US, who is renowned for his knowledge about mold and it's worth consulting him. He will prescribe the correct anti-fungal protocol and diet. He wrote a book: TOXIC: HEAL YOUR BODY FROM MOLD TOXICITY, LYME DISEASE, MULTIPLE CHEMICAL SENSITIVITIES AND CHRONIC ENVIRONMENTAL ILLNESS. You also need to have your house/workplace tested by proper professionals and the mold has to be removed professionally - NOT with bleach - it does not kill mold and you can't just wipe it, it spreads the spores. It needs to be sprayed with the correct mixture. Some molds are more toxic than others and need to be removed professionally. I had a client whose house had this kind of mold and it was so toxic, they had to move out while it was placed under quarantine by the municipality. She showed symptoms similar to multiple sclerosis. My daughter got sick with mold toxicity, went for "tests" in Canada which showed up nothing, then finally found out about Dr. Nathan. She was referred to him by a naturopath who knew about his work. She sent a urine sample and the results showed that she had mold toxicity from the mold in potted plants. It took a serious corrective diet (can't eat anything that feeds fungus, especially sugar, carbs, wheat, no wine) and specific protocol of supplements to get rid of it. There is no quick fix. It took more than a year, but she is well now.

My bf and I have been fighting these creatures for 5 months now. I just finally convinced a Dr that I have ringworm and an infected arm, so she gave me Cephalex for it. I don't know if it will work buf I have some hope bc all of the areas where I am covered in sores/white feathers/the blobby creatures themselves, since starting the antibiotics, I am able to take my finger and with significant pressure I can push the mold out of my body and it keeps it's shape and comes out just like it's growing super fast but at least it's out of my body and not staying in mg body now, so I'm hopeful. It's been a long time since I had any hope at all. We're staying in a hotel right now bc I said I wouldn't stay in the house anymore it was literally driving me mad and I was ready to live outside on the grass I just couldn't take the nightly constant assaults on us and on me and feeling those things doing everything they could to get into my body even liquifying themselves into some sort of oil and landing on my ear so they could leak into my ear canal. I don't know how it started or how it got so bad, just slowly we were overtaken by these pale yellowish "blobs" that were on the attack and we were their prey but besides them, we lived through head and body lice, human fleas that infested my already wounded and open left forearm, there were bedbugs and cockroaches, and they all at some point burrowed into us and fed on us and laid their eggs inside us and we would try to dig them out but there were way too many and my Dr thought I was crazy and just wanted more painkillers when I asked him for help and told him what was happening. Granted, he did up my painkillers but in my defence, I had been on the same dose of narcotics for 6 years and never had an increase in dosage. As it was, the Dr did increase my painkillers but he still didn't believe me about the insects living inside me, so I received no treatment whatsoever. Lol to go back a year ago when we were blissfully unaware that these things existed and how brutal they could make our life!!! If anyone can relate to this story and wants to talk, compare notes or just cry together bc it's better than crying alone, you can reach me at beautifuldreamer2019@gmail.com. (Not so beautiful anymore but still and always a dreamer lol ?) I believe together we can kill them and we will win!!! Linda
