I have black mold in my home and have had for more than 5 yrs. The Housing Authority where I live tell me that they are in the process of renovating my home, the Housing Renovated my home in 2007/2008 but the mold just came back. I am scared because I have had a bad cough for about 2 yrs. and i have respiratory problems. I feel that the Reservation Housing Authority is ignoring me and my health problems and I also feel that the H.A. is blaming the mold on me. |

once you have been exposed, and all is removed, do your symptoms disappear without treatment? |

It appears that I have almost all of the symptoms to the black mold described. What should I do as the house we live in is a rental and the owners do not seem to care if there is mold, even though we have told them that I am ill as well as my wife. They told us to pour bleach at the outer foundation and that is all that can be done. There is a significant amount of moisture under the house, in the walls and growing on the outer surfaces of the wall. We ha ve washed the walls but it keeps coming back. The carpet we shampooed and yet you can still smell the mold. What can we do? We have no money to move or go to a doctor and I am pending disability but that is taking forever. |

I work in a 125 year old building. Used to be a horse drawn wagon firehouse. My desk was under the hose drying tower with just a false drop ceiling. The siding came off the tower on one side and pigeons were living in there. Everytime the front door opened dry poop would fall on my head. It was like this for 4 months then is was repaired could there have been black mold in the wet tower too? |

My room smells of mold really bad. I have been sick for 6 months with no one knowing what is wrong. doing one test after the other. I have the majority of those symtoms above. Every day it just gets worse and worse. the docs have me on all these pills cause of extreme pain and nerve pain. Im on anxiety pills for anxiety because of my chest pain. Im on blood pressure because one day its normal and the next sky high. So the docs are adjusting my pills. I can see the mold in the windows and used clorox to clean today. but it goes down into the wall. This is where I sleep. It is an apt. building. they sure arent going to fix it and its unreasonable to move at this time. Any suggestions? Sorry about the writing. Oh and my neuro says that he doesnt know why I have these electric jolts in my head when i try to go to sleep. |

I had all of thosesymptomsand besides a friend suggesting that I was being poisoned somehow and thought it was my water, no one,not doctors,Nps,no one knew what was wrong with me,and I couldnt think straight,was fatigued,fever, sick and fighting utis and sinus,and ear infections...lost my job and could barely stay ontop of my bills, got evicted for being late paying my rent more than three times. Was also concerned I wasnt getting better and couldnt get a job...until I had to stay with my sick mother to help her, and got better,then returned to the moldy house and recognizedthe smell and got sick overnight... |

We have recently moved and my kids have had bad head aches since and I have developed headaches, and dizziness, don't know if this is the cause but I didn't have these problems until we moved here 2 wks. Ago. Will this affect my baby if this is our problem? |

Mold in apartment air conditioners, breathing or lying on bed under vents can also cause eye infections and other systems of facial infections. Since breathing in the nose and mouth are common passage ways, face breaks out around nose and mouth from the particals you are taking with every breath while sleeping as well. |

For everyone that does not have the knowledge of fair housing. Please check it out. A lot of companies will go in and paint over the dark molded walls and lease them out. No one should ever go through this. If you find mold in your home or you are experiencing any health problems please get checked and get a lawyer. These companies will be the ones paying for your health cost, your moving expences and any other expences the judge orders them to pay. Know your rights. Please dont risk it. For the landlords that want to give you issues and not fix a thing. Write them a letter, do it in front of people, tell them about it in front of people. They do have a chance to get it taken care of but if they try to bully you. Get a lawyer. |

I was recently put into the hospital thinking I had a really bad sinus infection. I was having extremly bad head aches, uncontrollable shaking, memory loss, light sensativity, weakness, fatigue. I felt like I was going to die. I found out there is a foundation leak in my apartment that had not been fixed. There are 3 other people in my apartment that are starting to experience the same symptoms. My6 question is, with all of the test that was done on me this never came to mind. Is there a specific test that would check for mold poisioning or does the standard testing the hospital did check it all? I was also checked for meningitis. That was negative. If someone knows can you please email me at majorpuddin07 at the hoo. |

Every article I've read about black mold has been rather conservative. This one was the most informative so far. Fact is, in Florida, after my roommate had terrible sinusitis, I found the A/C system filled with black mold. The vent in her room was aimed at her bed. She was very sick. So I cleaned the A/C casing and duct. She got better right away but the mold, apparently, got on the skin of my left arm. A few weeks later it had eaten into my skin. I woke up itching and that area of skin came right off but there was no bleeding. I thought I had cancer. I had never seen anything like that. The doctor put something on my arm that killed the mold within five days but it had already done enough damage to leave three inches of scarring. I continued to have problems with my eyes, sinuses, neck, etc, for years after. Over ten years later, a doctor asked me "Did anyone test you to find out if the mold got inside your body?" No, duh. And that doctor did not tell me what to do; she just left the question hanging. I was happy to find this site and get this information but I think a lot more research could be done and anyone living in a tropical area should be warned not to touch, breath or stay in a room with black mold! |

Recently, over the last month and a half, I have experienced a prolonged episode of sinus itis. It usually occurs after a change in temperature in; mainly in the spring. My symptoms usual disapate afet 3 to 4 days. However, my present exacerbation has been dragging on for weeks. I have been to my doctor about this particular episode several times, and no remedy has help. The major symptom is a blocked left nare occasionally accompanied by intense headaches and nasal pressure. I had recently moved into a new apartment, and there is a leaky bathroom facet where water stands upon the face bowl, and standing water and moisture on my kitchen counter overnight. I have done a thorough cleaning of all suspect surfaces. I have reported these things to my apartment manager, but I have received no satisfactory results on his part. I was released from a local hospital last evening. I under went a nasal CT and an MRI scan, and the results where that a have a potentially life threatening nasal fungus destroying my left nasal bone structure. What can I do to make absolutely sure that I have contracted this fungal infection from my new place of residence? |

I have a friend who recently passed away in January. His loft apt was covered in mold! Leather chairs walls, floors anything & everything had some sort of growth on it. He has/had all of the symptoms above. Do you think that it's possible for tumers to grow due to & caused from the poison around him? He had one large one on his liver, a small one on one lung, & a large one on back side of his stomach. He went into doctor on a Mon. was admitted & passed within 3 days! Please let me no if you have heard of these developing from mold.
Thank you, |

I think this is a good article; however, there is not enough information available within the medical communities in order to obtain an accurate diagnosis and treatment as the government is suppressing such knowledge due to fear of litigation. When affected patients attempt to advise their medical practioners of their malaise from mould exposure, most doctors view their patients as hypochondriacs and/or misdiagnose the condition, such as fibromylagia or rheumatoid arthritis, etc. Doctors do not seem to connect the fact that if a derivative of penicillum mould can save countless lives, what kind of affect would similar mycotoxins have upon the human body in a random and uncontrolled environment? McGill University has already identified 10% of all hospital related deaths can be traced to aspergillus mould, not to mention Legionnaires Disease, so what does this mould mean for people with compromised immune systems when it is lurking behind their shower drywall? I still believe we are in the Dark Ages when it pertains to discovering the real truth about mould, particularly when it's main function is to biodegrade whatever host it happens upon. Human health (& pet health) should take precedence over capitalism; however, most governments bank upon ignorance. |

this article is good, but i still havent found the answer to my question. I have finally figured out that i was most likely sick from mold (hair loss, foggy brain, resp symptom, etc.) but i need to know how long it affects your system, does it ever fully leave the body? Keep in mind I was never "treated", I just moved the kids and I out of the house...and this is now 10 years later. Yes it helped a great deal, but does anyone know more about long term effect, or answers to my questions or how it is treated in the body? |

A year ago and for several months prior I had among other symptoms, difficulty swallowing, muscle spasms, muscle discomfort, twitching, and many other symptoms listed above. At the time I had a car that I drove alot and when I sold it I realized that it had mold growing in the wheel well of the trunk. Not just a little, it was spreading throughout the trunk. This was due to an apparent water leak. I saw several specialists and was tested for everything from MS to ALS and several other Nerve dabilating diseases you could think of. Thankfully, all were negative. Still I felt terrible and my CPK levels were abnormally hi. Between 9 - 11. When I sold the car, over time the symptoms began to go away and eventually I was left with the typical aches and pains of a 45 year old man.
Could the mold have been responsible for these symptoms.
Please advise Tom |

I recently discovered what appears to be black mold in our master bathrom and ensuite shower area. My son doesn't believe in black mold, but my daughter has been sick for years and began hallucinating when sleeping in the master bedroom and also in her Grandmother's musty basement. Fortunately I found this mold and removed it, a few days later I sensed a strong moldy odor while eating in a local restaurent and later returning home the same day I experienced a strong smell of what seemed like moldy or damp drywall dust. No one else could smell the odours. Later that night I had difficulty sleeping, needing to cough as if something was caught in my lungs. Could that have been from exposure to black mold? Could there be long term effects? |

Air Purifiers do not filter out any particles. They are not regulated by most governments because they are sold as "purifiers" not filters. The only filters that actually work are HEPA filters. Air purifiers can actually degrade air quality and make people ill. They generate ozone (O3) which is a harmful pollutant when it is not in the ozone layer. Think of the smog above L.A., same stuff.
Don't believe me? Check it out:
Search google for Air purifier EPA, since I cannot post a link on this site. |
