Guest guest Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Huh? findings? I don't do any research.. Maybe you are remembering my repeating what Jeff May said originally, I think about stachybotrys that grows on the inside surfaces of walls being very stable and not shedding spores, so not showing up in tests- Actually, Dr. Straus's research, and others, have shown that the mold that grew inside of walls still sheds 'particles smaller than conidia' as it disintegrates. It doesn't need bats in there to be dangerous, just to show up on spore tests.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 yes, and viberation and moveing from wind gusts also play a role more so in 2 oe 3 story homes. in older homes with no insultion windy days can do a lot of stirring up of whatevers in the walls. > LiveSimply <quackadillian@...> wrote: Huh? findings?
