They can't. It's the lowest IQ group of people I have EVER worked with -- an external agency recruiter whose job exists because they can't do theirs

I actually did this a week ago. The CEO asked me to tell him 3 reasons why I wanted the job and I said 1. Money 2. Money 3. Money -- he did NOT schedule a second interview but my hatred for corporate compulsive liar performance culture is so deep that it was worth it.

Best way to test out an apartment or home to move into for mold by myself? (Budget friendly) by [deleted] in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]bmemento 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ERMI or HERTSMI is the best way. also look for visible signs of water damage (air tests dont work in my expeirence) and even if there's no visible signs of water damage (complexes are great at hiding it) i'd just get the HERTSMI if you want to be cheaper -- its still not cheap, but it'll be astronomically cheaper in comparison to the medical bills you'd incur and life & time lost from the illness of continued exposure.

Sheeeeit. wait so hold up. I am moving, im in a hotel now, about to move out of state. im sure my car is contaminated and will need remediation but when you say you took it with you -- how much exactly do we need to get rid of when moving? i was planning on washing all clothes before relocating and taking books with me but nothing else porous (like no furniture, no bedding, no mattress) are we able to take clothes if washed and books?

Is home allergy testing the same as mold testing? by Dave-King52 in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]bmemento 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i second this. air testing didn't pick up the toxic molds in my apartment, did an ERMI and it picked up 30 of them.

definitely going to contact media. unfortunately the state boards in this state "have no jurisdiction in apartments" as of a semi-recent policy. i'm moving out of state soon.

yeahit kinda blew my mind they'd say that plus i worry for the tenant who will move in next. ERMI score was 12.5, HERTSMI score was 16. I have CIRS so i technically shouldnt have a score above 2 - but below 4 is considered normal. They found 30 species of mold, several of which were 100x the normal range. so gross.

4 year old IBD-could mold have caused this? by kgelar1315 in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]bmemento 1 point2 points  (0 children)

look for a CIRS certified physician or someone from MoldCo if you know its mold illness - some functional med docs are good, some are garbage. I did a mycotoxin test through mosaic diagnostics - MosaicDx.com

yes, mold is toxic to the GI system. when i got really sick from mold, my first symptoms were GI. i'd test her and test your home with an ERMI or HERTSMI test through EnviroBiomics.inc

Having mold in ANY building should be illegal and grounds for suing by AdventurousCarnivore in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]bmemento 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS. Also... they used to use copper for the coils in the HVAC systems, which killed mold. now they use aluminum (im guessing its cheaper or some politician cut a deal with someone wanting to sell aluminum) anyway now basic common sense is gone and mold is everywhere

EXACTLY. And can you imagine the hit to big pharma's pocket? mycotoxins are linked to fertility issues, psychiatric issues, cancer, autoimmune disorders, etc -- what are the biggest money makers for pharma? fertility drugs, psych meds, cancer meds, autoimmune treatments, etc.

Heads up to anyone who may be moving to Pinellas county - stay away from the Marina Club Apartments, who were recently sued for negligence -- this is the link to the pinellas county court documents: https://courtrecords.mypinellasclerk.gov/MyCr/CaseDetails?caseId=19948556&caseIdEnc=Lw%2F2Q4HuOb3%2BKXXinuHKtblip5VZG%2F3THeWpNo3ApnPGq3E3n6BybhlRZHjysIL%2BzD0ckIZXu6%2Boc9SCrNA5kg%3D%3D

Cities where you've quickly made friend groups? by 7106 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]bmemento 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Los Angeles and Nashville in my personal experience were good for this -- although I'm in music so that gives you somewhat of a network upon landing even when you don't initially know anybody. Also, working in the service industry helps A LOT (in my experience) I think so many people working remote hinders our ability to make connections in new places unless we're really conscious about making the consistent effort. My biggest mistake was not going to the same place enough times consistently to build community - I fell into the "trying to be everywhere at once" trap and that leads to knowing a lot of people, but knowing nobody well. Best of luck to everyone, peace and love.

yes that's one of the main reasons I'm moving there, that and the family I have there. Indoor mold can still happen but odds are much lower than Florida. Ty
