What are the best ways to check if mold is an issue for you? Are there good tests for the house? Can it also build up in your own body? How to test? Are there remedies?
I feel like I'm asking a lot of questions lately. Sorry... Thanks, Tammy

There are tons of old entries about mold. Do a search with the word "mold". You will get lots of information that way.

I don't know much, but yes it builds up in the body, causes neurotoxins like lyme does. You can check out Mold Warriors by Ritchie Shoemaker.

You can buy home testing kits at Home Depot or Lowe's for about $10. I originally explored this option as an answer for my sickness and talked to various doctors. My Immunologist/Allergist explained to me that only a few doctors in the country actually believe mold can be so severe that it may be the cause of neurological symptoms.
Don't get too caught up on this is my advice.
