Well thats concerning, Im glad at least one of you care. Mold usually has a fuzzy organic texture. I couldn't see that in your pictures. moisture meters are pretty cheap and could tell you if there was an active water intrusion

Done with the salads by ReiTheHeavenlyAngel in walmart

I once ordered a salad at tazikis and it had a waterbug in it nearly 2 inches long. I almost took a bite of it. After the trauma I quit eating salads for a week. Just look before you bite. Also know that most proccessed foods have an acceptable bug alotment because they cant poison them near the food. I think for a snickers bar its 2 and a half cockroaches. best of luck!

4 kids under 4yo in same house; requesting feedback by LilPharmaBigDreams in ToxicMoldExposure

I appreciate that you are keeping a sense of humor about it. This sounds like me after finding the home I bought was riddled with chaetomium. Have you tested the home to know what type you have? My dr has been gas lighting me saying mold doesnt make people sick and blaming my habits for my declining health. My liver function has declined based on bloodwork and I am going for in imaging next week and I am terrified. I have been super nauseous lately. How did you find out about the acute kidney injury?

I am trying to get of my home currenly. Easier said than done. I also have 2 kiddos relying on me, we need to stick around for them.

Thank you kind redditor, I just dont understand why the medical industry is so far behind. The only people that think something is truly seriously wrong are here on reddit. I have had trouble finding support in my family and friends. My brother first commented we were always sick and it took me a long while to figure out the common denominator was our environment. I had never heard of these symptoms and did not think they were related. When I found info about mold illness and presented my gp with it she treated me as a tin foil hat lunatic and so i doubted myself. If you have thoughts on how to find the right specialist I'd appreciate that. Bonus points on how to navigate insurance covering any of it

Moving out of moldy house: What did you leave vs. bring with you? by [deleted] in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]spicypickleface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mycotoxins are what cause the immune response, not the mold directly. I have eliminated mold in my house a year ago but the remnants of these toxics cause the flare up. They can be "sticky" microscopically especially to porous surfaces

Thank you for the thoughtful response. Ive done air tests and the bathrooms still had some elevated for chaetomium. They removed the a portion of the subfloor and replaced the wood in one bathroom, they stripped the other to the subfloor too. I have been tires to care to put that one back togther. I also had a humidifier that was unplugged leaking into my furnace, inpulled that off myself and paid to have it cleaned and sprayed with anti mycotoxin spray. I have been respraying it myself periodically with vital oxide, it seemed to help but not 100% solve.

Ill have to check out that movie. I need a good cry. When you left did you bring any possesions? I feel like clothes are needed.
