Guest guest Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 I totally know that ear burn. A year ago, with my own clothes I used borax, and washed them several times. That seemed to work. -----Original Message----- From: Gingersnap1964@... Sent: Sat 5/14/2005 5:43 PM Im going through a tough time.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Hello Ginger, 1.My daughter just came home from college and all her clothes smell like her old moldy dorm room. Funny you say this Ginger I was just thinking about when I was looking for a place to live one place was on FAU campus where the College Kids live they can walk to School from there? the Place is so Moldy I couldn't stay inside the building so all I do is wonder if the Teacher and family of those kids and the kids themselves know how bad the Mold is in their building what if anything would they do? It's very bad there Boca Glades Road Campus to me that is so sad they need to know. Elvira [] clothes from dorm room Im going through a tough time. My daughter just came home from college and all her clothes smell like her old moldy dorm room. I washed everything and have it hanging to dry all ove r the place but all the smell isnt gone. I cant tell my daughter to get rid of her clothes. This is driving me nuts as it makes the outside of my ear burn and my chest feel tight. Biy.

Parent, public health, environment, and education groups today urged the White House and federal agencies to develop a & #147;Marshall Plan & #148; to identify and to promote solutions to protect the nation & #146;s schools and the health and safety of schoolchildren.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Hi Elvira, My exposure is from a college campus - many of the buildings have mold. They are currently denying that it can make anyone ill- they don't have the money to fix the problem. Some of the students know what is going on - hopefully it is just a matter of time before they can no longer deny anything- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 I always tell the students the truth- so far I haven't been told not too.

I know this isn't too popular, but when it isn't enough, I bleach the bejeebers out of it. Well, really just maybe 3/4C to a load of hot water, no soap, since I already cleaned it. Then I have to rinse it several times to get most of the bleach smell out. Bleach burns my lungs too, but boy do I HATE a moldy smell. After everything is dried and aired out, it smells so good. Your symptoms sound like you maybe are allergic, or reacting to the toxicity...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 I wonder if handing mold smelling things out in the sun would help. That's probably what took care of it years ago. You can get stand alone drying racks at hardware store and isn't that hard to run a clothes line that you can just put up when you need it. > > Im going through a tough time.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 madeske, 1.But I have been harassed and had intimidation from the admin-- Things like this must be done in Numbers or they will harass you turn friends and Family against you but in numbers one way to get your number is by education I also use disk pass them on most students have computers and sickbuilding has such great information we must fine a way to educate the young about Toxin & mold some how.
