Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Snoe white blanket growing in cold dish is EXACTLY what I have to from a test I did at Candlewood Suites I was considering moving to AND also exactly what I had growing in dish I put next to my own bedroom at my home, so if they are same I wouldn't be any better off at the Suites. Someone has suggested that it could be yeast which is in air also, just like the white coating you get on tongue etc, which wouldn't be bad. I sent my sample off to Dallas. I will be probably another couple of weeks before I hear from them. I will let you know. One I got like that looked like it had slime over the top, that I was a little concerned about as stacy covers it's colony with slime. However slime covered early. The one I did in hotel is just as you describe though, looking like a soft white snowy blanket covering plate. It has taken over quite fast. After awhile you become familiar with look of mold you find around your own place and can tell when something new crops up and can just send that off for testing. Regarding other Quicktox strips. I just found out about those yesterday when someone posted something about the POA site and I went to look at it. Go to policyholdersofamerica.org and look for testing your home. I provided a link yesterday with 'Leigh' name on it, subject: testing new home/ Leigh and others. Also a link to the Quicktox strips. Just click on details on that and it will tell you everything but pricing. It will say to contact them for pricing and you need to find their contact info/tel no there. I don't have info on Dallas handy where I am. Put into Google, Dallas Environmental Clinic, or Dr Rae or Realtime Labs to find info on culture plates. I think it is under 'products'. If you can't find, let me know, I can dig around for it. However there should be a link to it on their site. I wouldn't trust pictures of mold to tell type. You really need to have microscope, etc but once you know what you have around house you will be able to tell when you have caught something that looks familiar or not. I just send my symptoms in previous email. Perhaps you didn't get it. My eyes hurt alot and my throat is irritated always I could add to what I already wrote. Fatigue and extreme weakness are the hardest to deal with. Can't get the simplest thing done. I would probably already be moved out if I could get up and get things done. Others talk about buring alot. I do not have same sensation but hurting eyes coudl be described as burning. --- shybasset <shybasset@...> wrote: > and how many strips came with it?
