Guest guest Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 If your body is telling you there is mold and it is making you feel very sick, but you cannot see it, and air tests don't show it, what do you do?? Here is my story: Last month, I had my garage and my basement remediated for stachy. After about three weeks ( and I guess the reduction of residual spores in the air) I began to notice some improvement in my reactivity in most of the house, although I most definitely still sensed (through my reactions) the presence of spores. Over the last couple of weeks there is however a revolting development. There is now a strong mold smell in the dining room, which had never been troublesome before the remediation. I actually am reacting in that room to the same degree as I reacted (pre-remediation) when ever I went in the room which was above the (stachy) garage. My body is definitely telling me there is mold in this room. And my body never seems to be wrong. I knew there was mold somewhere in the house even before they found the high level of stachy in the garage. I knew there was mold somewhere in the kitchen even though the air tests were great. But I was proved right when they found it under the refrigerator. I knew it was in the basement before they found it, because anytime anyone came within two feet of me after having been in the basement I reacted. And now I am absolutely positive there is mold somewhere in the dining room. There is no visible mold anywhere. The air tests in my house always come back good because I have a house full of air filters running 24/7. (For example, The air tests before remediation showed no stachy spores in the room directly above the garage, even though I became extremely ill if I went into it). The dining room is located on the first floor, directly above the basement, but is not contiguous with the garage. Any opinions out there? Is this just some sort of awful conincidence, or is this mold somehow related to that which was previously remediated? In any event, what can be done? If you cannot see the mold, and there is no showing on an air sample, but your body knows there is mold (and probably stachy) in that room, what do you do? I know it is there - probably in the walls, but tearing out the entire room is definitely not an option, without substantiation by something other than my body, that it is present. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated...Jeri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
