Re: Re: May have mold problem in bathroom

[Guest guest]

Most don't, your right. Carl Grimes had some realy good advice though. Rather

than bother with the cost to validate its presence. Put the money to removeing

it instead. Although I understand being in a rental this just adds to the

confusion of what to do. Plus I fear once you pull back one layer of a problem

(so to speak) what will rear its ugly head from the unseen.. I sure wish you

the best of luck.

sheetrock. I only slept in there 4 nights--with window open--it was

bedroom's radiator is entirely gone and it's all plastered and painted

(and i put hardseal over the sill where he stupidly used benjamin

moore paint even though I handed him my gallon of bioshield that I

keep and always use), I can sleep in there tonight.

I just think we need to sample it? I could wait until the mold grows

thru to the outside again and sample that in a month or so.

My home is very intrusive in very many ways. It is a beautiful area

but it's off the highway, which they now force traffic onto our street

in the last few years, over a city schoolyard, and the renovations in

the building led to all this pipe noise that bothers many of us all

winter. That's why I removed my radiator. It would sympathetically

knock even when cold and off. With it gone the room is fairly quiet

and a sound machine should suffice. I'll be in there tonight. Its just

that, while sleeping in the bathroom (for purposes of quiet) I

discovered through my own familiar reactions it MUST have mold. I

don't know how much or how bad the problem. I do know from searching

this list I had better be hypervigilant about how its tested and if it

is there how is removed. Seems like a lot of people don't know or care.

> Jill, this is a nightmare from the start. There should be gypsum

board behind the tile, not sheet rock by any means although it is not

suprising at all. Once there is a break in the tile water is going to

leak in without fail. Then all the steps to seal, cover ect. is only

giving mold of any kind, Black for sure if it has been long term, a

pristine place to thrive with out disturbance with a constant sourse

of food. Not only that but as far as sleeping in there, from what I

understand, fussarium is very common in bathrooms wich is just as

toxic as stachybotrys. Bolth give off the T2 toxin spoke of so often.

Then you are closing yourself up in a small area with small amounts if

and of fresh air at all.

Yes, but if you can find a reliable mold testing company right in your area then

you might get them to come and test your home and the samples as well.
