Wow, this is very interesting. What made you suspect that you had some time of spore/fungi? Was it the floating things you were seeing? Do they believe this has been causing some of your infections?

I've also noticed a decrease in the floating things. I have a call in to the Dr. that did the testing and he should call me back soon. In the comments he said this was a type of common filamentous fungi identified in soilborne organisms... etc. I want some clarification and I'll share once I've spoken to him.L.From: "Aandraya" <aandraya@...>bird mites Sent: Monday, April 23, 2012 10:38:50 AMSubject: Re: Re: Might be interesting to you

My LLMD recommended it. It is a private co. in Texas. It is called American Environmental Health Foundation, 800 428-2343. Costs about $145 as I recall. They send you petri dishes to set out in various rooms and then you return them when they have been exposed to the air in the room for a set amount of time. It takes probably 6 weeks for results.From: "mitesbegone" <no_reply >bird mites Sent: Monday, April 23, 2012 5:34:04 PMSubject: Re: Might be interesting to youDid you have to have a doctor qualify you for the Environmental monitoring, or did you just do it yourself based upon their suggestion?Are they a government agency? Or private...And lastly, was it very expensive. I think I would like to do the same thing.Thanks, Terry > > > > On the recommendation of my LLMD I had an Environmental Monitoring done for Fungi in my house.
