Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 We've been staying in our old condo while running mold plates in the new rental house. Today i finally got the results and I'm trying to remain calm but really need help.  In the crawl space were, among 19 aspergillus veriscolor and 6 penicillium...6 stachybotrous spores. This is the mold that ruined my life for years, lost my belongings, etc etc...and I am SO MAD at myself that I didn't run plates before moving in...I just thought that if I felt ok, that was the real test because of course I'd pick up any problems. I didn't want to freak myself out because there is always mold, right?  I didn't feel bad until living in the place for enough time. I just didn't know. God, there's still so much to learn even when you think you have...  In the house plate was one penicillium spore, one alternaria, and one ulocladium.  In the house, I still am not debilitated but have left sinus irritation with accompanying left temple low level head pressure, and occassional itching with hives on/off.  With stachybotrous, I want to run and will - it will be expensive and a pain to move, but we have to. However - WHAT DO I DO WITH ALL OUR BELONGINGS? I've been thinking of ways to see if they are contaminated...put everything in a storage unit, run a mold plate first, then put the stuff in, then run another plate...or???  We have such little money and have already spent a ton - on two rents and moving and all these tests and much more just this month alone. What is the best way to handle next steps...remember, I'm also pregnant and trying not to have too much stress.  thank you Jill To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived – that is to have succeeded†-Ralph Waldo Emerson ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
