Has anyone had mold in their house? My dr wants me to have extensive mold testing since we had water damamge last winter. I never knew I could get sick from it.

Yes. It was a big part of my illness.. I had a Select Comfort bed, and the old ones have a KNOWN mold problem, yet they were never recalled.

There's a lot out there on biotoxin illness, I think the site is biotoxin.info ..... it has good information.

My whole family is sick from mold. We have lyme, bartonella, babesia and more too... but mold is a huge factor in our illnesses.

We moved out April 16 and everyone is starting to get better. Of course, we are taking antifungals & binders too.

The first step is removing yourself from the constant exposure.

I could not see or smell mold. I didn't know we had a problem until we did an ERMI from Mycometrics Labs followed by air testing by the Environmental Solution.

May health be with you!

Toxic mold was suppressing our immune systems, causing extreme pain, brain fog and magnifying symptoms. Four days after moving out, the healing began.

Yes, got very sick from mold exposure.

I recently found black mold in my attic and had it professionally remediated.

Then I found small areas of black mold/mold in other places of my house (old home built in the 1700's so mold is only one aspect of sick building syndrome)and took care of that as well.

The more I clean up my environment the better and less neuroy I feel. I am going on 4 months off of abx.s after being sick for almost 7 years and holding steady.

Next on the home list is to replace all wallboards that are unhealthy and take out the gross fiber insulation which is another material known to attract moisture and mold ( as per my home builder/inspector).

If I did not work on cleaning up the toxins in my home I would still be sick.
