: Unfortunately, when one observes mold on sheetrock, the sheetrock must

be extracted; treated as hazardous material, and remediation under standard

protocol must be performed. The only time I would suggest using MDF-500 under

these explained methods is sprayed as as a precursor to the remediation and used

as THE fungicidal chemical of choice to cavity (wall) replacement (closure) and

exit sampling to ensure that it has done its job properly. The only true; safest

method in eliminating pathogenic molds is to extract it if it is observed on ANY

wall. Some species of unhealthy and dangerous molds are actually (formerly

dormant now viable or alive and colonizing) constituents of the calcined gypsum

inorganic mineral we term " sheetrock: (calcium sulfate hemi-hydrate, CaSO4,

1/2H20), which these decomposing and pathogenic microfungi created billions of

years ago. We extract this product from the earth, seal it with paper

(polysaccharides; sugars), and without regard to human health and safety use it

in constructing our homes... no wonder we become ill with various concerning

health issues when our home is flooded or contains unbridled humidity levels

where mold colonies are observed on walls over time. There are novel

mold-resistant building products being introduced currently, but not much of

what I have seen in my travels totally eliminates the possibility of mold

colonization. Dr. Thrasher might have some excellent ideas on this topic.

Also, bird droppings are a source of mold colonization, especially if the pet is

housed near walls (i.e., esp. pigeons leading to histoplasma capsulatum

sp./Histoplasmosis). I am not suggesting that your bird has caused any problems

in your home, but I am stating that caution with birds as pets should be

observed. (Source: Merck Manual 17th Ed., Histoplasmosis, Pgs. 1213-14).

I hope I have assisted with your concerns.

God Bless and take care in the New Year.

REVIEW, 2007

Thank you all for your unceasing work to bring this plight to theattention of

our lawmakers and researchers.Doug, would you recommend MDF-500 in a bird aviary

where there is moldon the sheetrock? I now use vinegar that seems to do a good

job untilI can remediate. Is MDF-500 available to the general public?
