Re: dormant mold in exterior walls of new construction home.--Forgot

September 15, 2005

I thought I should tell you that lived in my trailer which I believe had mold

the whole time for several years before starting to feel bad and then I started

smelling the burning odor about a year before I almost died before I got out. I

left a couple of weeks ago. The first four night I stayed in motels. I would

feel better driving through the day with the windows slightly open and the I

would start feeling worse after in the room for awhile and by morning, I would

be back really ill. I finally decided that living in a tent was worth trying and

last night was my sixth night and I started feeling better two days ago. I did

go to a moutainous,arid area and though still hot in day, gets to about 60 at

night. I thought about going to the mountains of New Mexico where it is not over

75 but I was smelling every odor very strong and the thought of smelling cedar

trees wasn't pleasant.

If you go through the same cycle that I did, you and your family could be coming

down very ill and then you feel so bad that it is hard to think about what to do

and the energy to do it. I must tell you that I have had CFS for 30 years and

that is a weakened immune system to begin with and maybe normal people wouldn't

get as ill as I did.

For the past year we have been living with a major mold contamination

in our 3 yr old home. It originated in our master bedroom, and now is

identified in most exterior wall caviities. During the spring, we

were suffering from the effects of the mold which was aggravated by the

wet weather. We have photos of the water coming through the block. Now

we have experienced a very dry summer here in Florida, and the noticable

odor and symptons have eased. The only smell I can identify is one of

smoke, as if there had been a mild fire. Has anyone experienced

anything similar or can tell me if once the mold is exposed to water

again, will our health problems resurface?
