you can believe whatever you like, katrina, but i'm POSITIVE mold caused my

demyelination & myelitis. EDUCATE yourself--its the best medicine of all.

take care,

[] Cleaning Utensils, etc.

Excuse this very lame question...but, for mold-removal, do you guys use

sponges, brushes, toothbrushes...? (Besides spraying). If so, then what do

you do with them, after/in between cleaning?

While figuring out the larger question of source and type of mold, I am

having someone else remove small amounts in my bathroom.

I am also in a group that will be leasing a new space, and struggling to get

the Mold issue taken seriously.

I don't believe Mold made me ill (CFIDS/M.E./MCS), but avoided it anyway

over the years, to stay safer. Now there is some in my house, and

INCREASINGLY, more other places. (I ~suspect~ this may relate to some

commercial rentals remaining empty)

And, I do feel affected. Sooo, am having to learn more about best

removal/avoidance. Very grateful for this list.

I know you've covered this, or it's the $64,000 question, but what is lowest

cost method for identifying the type? Is there any method that's free? (Be

gentle).

Thanks,

Katrina

I practiced mold avoidance long before most others, having seen a friend sick

from it in 1981...and others w/asthma. And even more so, after I became ill in

85, with classic CFIDS/M.E. onset. Before that, who knows?

AS STATED, I AM in intensive (re)education RE: MOLD, and already passing it on.

With Mold on the rise, I am now encountering more exposure, very concerned, and

seriously addressing it.

But I am not an idiot, spend most of my time in education and activism for the

many injuries and DX I have, which I did not get into.

(Apologies if I should have given an intro...typing is burning me out).

I am also busy avoiding chemicals, EMFs, viruses, dust, mercury, stress, drugs

and alcohol, facing dental work, recovering from a fall, and TONS more...with

limited time and resources.

I hope to receive an answer to my elementary questions, without lecture and

condescension.

If not possible on-list, please back-channel.

Thank you,

Katrina

you can either put them in a plastic bag and seal it, or throw it out when you

are done.

I don't know of any free method. There are inexpensive test kits at Home Depot,

and you

have to send in additional money to have it identified. Further, if you want to

know the

species of mold, you need to be sure the company types the mold by species. Some

species are harmless, and some companies only type by genera.
