ozone and mold

[Guest guest]

Though I am just starting to research the mold problems in my house

and possible solutions this post bothered me.

The government says what it wants and does what it wants. There are

plenty of 'studies' by the government that say mold is NOT a problem

and that it is can not make people sick. Everyone here knows

different.

Perhaps ozone works, perhaps it doesn't. I don't trust one SINGLE

thing any government organization says or does. The government looks

out for only one thing - the government. Espeically in areas that

are not 'popular' and recognizing mold as a health hazard is

DEFINATELY not popular!

Most likely, I will be buying an ozone machine and trying it for a

few weeks. If it makes a difference I will know immediatly - it only

takes 48 hours for my symptoms to fade. If it does not I will be

returning the machine. It can't hurt to try it out.
