Oh My Gosh and Dr. Shoemaker in MD

[Guest guest]

I'm SICK to my stomach. & nbsp; There is a Dr. in Pocomoke, MD that specializes in

treating people w/mold exposure. & nbsp; Any one use him? & nbsp; Or better

question, any live near him?

& nbsp;

And I'm SICK to my stomack....this is the report that came back from our house

regarding the type of mold we have. & nbsp; " It's not a health concern " & nbsp; DO

YOU HEAR ME. & nbsp; I " M SICK AS A DOG????

& nbsp;

In tears, Shonda see attached and below

& nbsp;

Shonda,

& nbsp;

Attached are the results of the mold sampling that I performed. & nbsp; There

appears to be no areas of concern that should cause health issues. & nbsp;

However, there are things you can do to improve your air quality.

& nbsp;

1. & nbsp; Keep your AC set at 68 to 74 in the winter and 73-79 in the

summer. & nbsp; Never turn your AC off for any lengths of time. & nbsp; It might

help with your utility bill but it does not help with your indoor air

quality. & nbsp; By keeping your AC on it reduces the humidity which mold needs to

grow.

& nbsp;

2. & nbsp; Use a vacuum that has a HEPA filter and has a bag for the dirt and

dust. & nbsp; Ensure the filters are changed frequently, depending on how often

you vacuum.

& nbsp;

3. & nbsp; Do a one time thorough house cleaning. & nbsp; Remove clothes from

closets. & nbsp; Remove dishes from cabinets. & nbsp; Pull beds, dresser, chest of

drawers, away from walls. & nbsp; On non porious surfaces use a 10% bleach and 90%

water solution to wipe down any hard surfaces including walls. & nbsp; Spray

closets with Lysol or a similar solution that kills airborne bacteria. & nbsp; Bed

linens need to be washed. & nbsp; Clothes that have been stored in closets need to

be cleaned. & nbsp; Like I said everything in the house needs to be cleaned.

& nbsp;

4. & nbsp; Things that appear to have mold need to be either cleaned or

dispsed. & nbsp;

& nbsp;

5. & nbsp; Ensure that your entire AC unit is cleaned. & nbsp; After cleaning

install only filters that has an ASHRAE Dust Spot Method rating of greater than

60% or a MERV rating of 10 or more and is replaced on a regular maintenance

schedule.

& nbsp;

6. & nbsp; In the attic, the insulation needs to be inspected to ensure no wet

insulation remains. & nbsp; Since you have had roof leaks in the past it is

imperative that you inspect the insulation. & nbsp; Any wet insulation needs to be

bagged and removed. & nbsp; Insulation needs to be moved to ensure there is no

mold colonies growing under the insulation or in the attic. & nbsp; Any mold

growing in the attic needs to be sprayed with the 10% bleach and 90% water

solution.

& nbsp;

This should keep busy for a long time. & nbsp; If you have any questions

please ask.
