Re: mold increase prior to rain; hurricanes and pressure

[Guest guest]

Hi Addy,

As you know some months ago I posted about Cheyennes asthma flair and

how we were stumped because we didn't know what else to do as we have

tried everything, well were we live is Queensland Australia, a very

humid hot place to the point were we wash walls constantly for not only

dust but mould also, inside we do it all the time but outside we haven't

been able to because we are up to level 5 water restrictions so earlier

this week when I took a sample of the mould to our respiratory lab it

came back as the devil causing all the problems, so I contacted the

council to get a permit so I can get rid of the problem and they

complied so today things are finally back to how they were, so I

strongly believe that mould and dirt have alot to answer for.
