Re: 1hr Gravity pi tree dishes . looks like 1 way to test for safehomes

[Guest guest]

One question: Was this a primary care physician or an environmental doc?

Interested to know. If this is a primary care physician, than I want to say,

hats off to this doc for giving you the petri dishes, as there are some PCP's

out there that do recognize the fact that mold does make one ill. Darlene

Hi all!

My Doc gave me some 1hr gravity pi tree dishes to test the air in my

home as one method to test to see if my home was " safe " or toxic mold

free. There was a set of 4 p-dishes, supposed to put one in each

bedroom on floor and leave for one hour then seal. He told me if

after 3 days you see nothing growing in p-dishes i didnt have to send

in to the lab for analysis. After 3 days of testing there is fungus

growing in one p-dish. It is an obvious sign of some form of mold or

fungus in my home. When i saw the growth i wanted to kill somebody. I

will send into the lab called immunolytics so they can test the mold

and let me know what species it is and or if its toxic. I will post

the results when the tests come back.

I wanted to spread the word on 1-hr p-tree dishes as one method of

testing a new or old home when you have question whats in the air of

the home your living or about to live in with regards to the recent

questions on " safe homes " and how to find them. 1 hour on the floor in

whatever room you test and within 3 or 4 days you can see if there is

fungus growth or not. Here is a link to my 1 hour gravity test p-tre

dish with the growth in it

Hi Photoguy. One out of 4 plates growing mold is not bad at all, but

depends on how much mold grows in plate. One allergy doctor who

treats for chronic sinusitis, says that less than 5 caught in one

hour is okay. However if all five or more spores are of the exact

same mold, it may indicate there is a problem in that room, so wait

to get lab results. Be sure there were no cracks to outside or loose

windows or anyway the mold could have instead been from outside, such

as windows that are not in as good condition as the other rooms, or

there isn't an attic hatch in that room and mold could have come down

from attic, etc. One tests isn't enough to know much, but it's a

start. I use settling plates all the time.

Another test you can do is a tape lift from inside a cold air

return. I have not done one but others here can give you info on

that.

Is your doc Dr Rae? I know plates bought from him are 4 in a pack.
