Re: Re: what does a mold hit feel like?

[Guest guest]

It would be nice to be able to identify mold triggers. But, as we know when

you work, go to school, visits friends, go to the doctors, go out to eat,

and live our lives as normal as we can, we do not always have the luxury of

testing, and taking samples. We go into a place, and dang we are hit. We

do not return to those places where we get hit.

You are right that avoidance and identification is important, all I am

saying is that we do not always have that option.
